We did not play well and we looked tired and slow tonight
2 things stick out to me for this game only...
- Thread starter Bama!
- Start date
But we won. Be happy. This was a classic trap game we lose in the past.
Like others have said, Bama won, which says a lot about the growth of this team. No team plays their A game every game, can you win playing a B or B- games tells you a lot.
Plus State had a great game plan and they have lots of bigs inside and guards who were a little bigger. Plus we had another guy out.
Reese deserves some credit because he had to play a lot of minutes.

You just got spoiled by the last 3 games. Effort was good today. Miss St played well.
True post...
but what stuck out to me was Herb stepping up in a major major way...led the team in Points, Rebounds, Assists, Blocks and Steals...Big Time

In hoops, you don’t peak every game. Not possible. Winning on off nights or against bad matchups separates good from average
MSU's style of play had a lot to do with the game. They are physical and prefer a slower, grinding pace of play and with their size, dominate rebounding. Our guys held up well and I am proud of them!
I’m pretty sure CNO has some teaching points after this game.
Good win for sure.

We didn’t play great against a tough matchup, down two of our big men and still won by 8. Never trailed in the second half. When you win a game on an off night, that shows leadership and toughness. Really proud of this team
I’m excited about it. That was an easy game to let slip away and we found a way to win it. They gave us problems especially without 2 of our bigs. And we didn’t exactly have our best stuff tonight. Good win and good film to see what will come down the road....
I'm as excited about this win as last one. This game looked to be a tight one that we would have problems with our matchups and outside shots. Yet overcame and put in a 5-10 point lead that we were able to maintain. MSU has had talent, good coaching, and overall a tough out since howland arrived. Great win.
Absolutely! Didn’t mean to imply I’m not proud of the team. I am. Just probably stating the obvious and maybe a little curious as to why. It almost looked as if the team were a little under the weather with the flu... don’t know the reason, just seemed like they were very tired. Particularly Herb....
You mean the guy who led the team in points, rebounds and assists? I thought the effort was awesome.... just a lot of bad breaks and a tough matchup.
I love the character of this team. We won when we did not play our best offensively. Defense and free throw shooting played a big part in winning. I am so proud of this team! RTR!
You can't be at the top of your game every night. MSU had a great plan and they are much bigger than we are. We played good enough to win. Hopefully this team learned from this and will be better. We can't play sloppy Tuesday night and win.
Effort was great. We still played really well defensively. MSU made a lot of tough 2s that were contested in the 1st half. They also played really well defensively, but we had a lot of possessions where we moved the ball around and got open looks.
In basketball, you can never be disappointed with a win. Any team can beat you on any given night.
I love the leadership of this team. Herb and petty are really taking this team to a different level. Awesome to watch.
I’m not talking about effort. I’m saying they were tired and they were. I think the team pushed through despite being tired.
I thought there were several ghost fouls called on us i the 2nd half particularly. The tripping foul called on Shack was NOT a foul, replay showed their player tripped himself. Then the foul on JP on a three point attempt gave them 3 free throws and replay couldn’t find any contact. Several others underneath their basket were very suspicious.
foul on jp was very strange/ after the kid shot, jp patted him on the chest according to cris stewart. kinda like patting somebody on the back. it was not a foul according to cris. i can not see much so i watct and listen to the radio at the same time
Didn’t think we played with the defensive intensity we have been playing with. Not bad, just not great. Biggest problem was unavailability of two bigs. We got out muscled inside too often.
I don’t know if it was without intensity. I think the outmuscling hurt. Getting screened by their 2 bigs wore on the Bama guards. Plus they made their possessions as long as they could. Other teams have tried this, but they didn’t make their shots. State was making them. It’s a good game plan, but you have to make your shots and keep us from making 3s. They also made almost all their free throws. Had they shot their normal 60ish percent, the game wouldn’t have been close. The refs gave them 3 points with that phantom foul on Petty, too.

In games like this over the past 10 -12 years we’ve usually dropped them! Don’t worry, be happy!
