  1. I think that pretty much makes Ole Miss an NCAAT lock now. 7 SEC wins already? Yeah they’d pretty much have to lose every game the rest of the season to not get in. Seems highly unlikely. State’s path to anything better than a 8 or 9 seed was starting to get iffy but winning today was a big step toward getting back on course. Next 3 are Florida, at OM, and A&M. Really need at least 1 win out of that stretch, 2 would be great. That’s a tough stretch but two of those games are at home and the road game is against a team you did beat already….If you’re a Top 25 team, you don’t go 0-3 in that stretch.
  2. That is the kind of game that gets coaches fired…. And Matt McMahon’s seat certainly feels warm when you compare how much LSU has struggled as compared to the quick turnarounds other schools are having…
  3. Holy smokes what a collapse by LSU. OM down 11 with under 3 minutes left and finished the game on a 13-0 run. Won on a tap in at the buzzer. LSU made an absolute mockery out of the end of that game. It is hard to blow it as much as they did. But certainly OM deserves credit for sticking with it.
  4. 4 of State’s 5 Q1 wins are in true road games.
  5. State escapes UGA with a 1 point win. Played a very good first half then just survived late. Terrible FT shooting from State, 6-18. But to steal what Shane Power tweeted, that lady screaming bloody murder before every free throw was effective. Lol.
  6. Florida crushing Auburn at Auburn. And they come to Starkville next.
  7. I don’t think OM should have any issues with LSU. They’ve been getting smoked routinely of late. In my opinion that’s the worst team in the league, as SC has been more competitive in spite of a worse record. I think this is a good matchup for State and I’d feel very good if the game was in Starkville, but it’s in Athens where UGA has been really good. Vegas had UGA favored by 1.5, so this is basically a toss up. I think I like State to bounce back and play well in this one. Hopefully the open week has them refreshed, although supposedly the team has had a flu bug they’ve been fighting so hopefully that doesn’t have a huge effect.
  8. No denying that Beard is an elite coach. I’m not sure what kind of tournament ceiling OM has with a bit of a weakness at rebounding but they’ll be a single digit seed and I would not want to play them.
  9. Big win for the Rebels. Having wins over Bama and Kentucky is loud. They are very close to an NCAAT lock already. 24 assists and 1 turnover…. Never seen a state line quite like that.
  10. Kentucky short handed tonight but OM thoroughly dominating them. Statement performance.
  11. State’s metrics took a big hit after getting crushed at home and I think they’ve fallen to around the 7 or 8 seed line now. Quite a drop from a few weeks ago when some had them as high as a 2 seed (I thought that was too high but I didn’t see this stretch coming either). It’s crucial they get back to winning soon or this could start to get uncomfortable in terms of the bubble. Nothing tanks your metrics like getting crushed at home like State did on Saturday. Ole Miss is probably a 5 or 6 seed right now. Big opportunity for a big win with Kentucky coming to town tomorrow. I am wondering if OM wishes UK hadn’t just gotten smoked at home by Arkansas. UK seems to bounce back well from losses. But this UK team plays approximately zero defense so if OM is making shots I think they have a great chance to win.
  12. The basketball Iron Bowl (x2) is going to be must see TV. Strong case Auburn and Bama are the two best teams in the country this year. I’m not sure where exactly in the league Mizzou ranks but they’re impressive. And have the domination of shooting, defense, and depth to possibly make it past the first weekend in the NCAAT.
  13. State basically played 2 on 5 basketball in both games this week. Hubbard and Murphy combined - 98 points in last 2 games Rest of team combined - 47 points in last 2 games The three point D will (understandably) get a lot of attention but our offense outside of 2 guys has totally vanished. Nobody else even broke double digits in a game this week.
  14. Tight game in Oxford. OM giving the number one team in the country all they can handle.
  15. State is statistically one of the worst teams in the country at defending the 3.
