[Argonaut]

Imagine being a Miss State fan thinking this is their year to beat us. Oh who am I kidding, do they even have basketball fans? Pretty sure they have more baseball fans, even.

 

[NociHTTP]

And look at that, Pope all smiles! Love it

 

[Anon1751335390]

Thought Moreno got hacked there. Luckily they missed their second attempt at 3.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Rags to Riches tonight! Hot Damn!

But these riches can't be fools gold. We need to be consistent!

 

[wccat]

Now that last cut by Oweh was Pope offense. Haven't seen it much this year.

 

[bbnkat02]

I will cherish this for the next couple of days.

We aren't back by any means but damn this feels good.

 

[Drogon]

Now thats a ******* box out lol

 

[ChiefPaducah]

The million dollar question, can we build on this and gain some confidence?

 

[kyjeff1]

Need to keep playing JJ, he's a guy that can make up for losing Lowe.

Heck of a response by this team, they look like they’re having fun.

3's went down and that made a huge difference.

 

[BCD]

Where has this team been???

It helps when the other team quits.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

I don’t have many complaints with Pope tonight, looks like he figured some things out. Either that or State is pure dog water.

 

[bbnkat02]

Meanwhile, that dude tried to pull DA to the floor and the ref was like, "Yeah....I GUESS I'll call it."

 

[mash_24]

Love that block out by Aberdeen. That’s the extra effort these guys need to see.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Helluva 2nd half so far. Keep building, men!

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Auto bots attack!

 

[anon1777473514]

We aren't back by any means but damn this feels good.

Oh, we are all the way back. 40-0, 16-0 in the SEC

 

[Kyfan27]

Don't love Mo's face on the sidelines. Come on dude be happy for your teammates there'll be more games to get a chance.

 

[wccat]

The million dollar question, can we build on this and gain some confidence?

Can you continue to play together against better competition?

 

[bbnkat02]

I don’t have many complaints with Pope tonight, looks like he figured some things out. Either that or State is pure dog water.

They suck, but we've had ball movement.

It helps when the other team quits.

Well, that's not our problem now is it?

 

[Anon1751335390]

Since about 10-12 minutes left in the first half, we've played our best basketball of the whole season.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Remember the Alabama game where Kam barely played?

 

[FredmanthecatfanAnon]

DA with the box out drill

 

[TheBlueMist]

Enjoy the win! I would love for this to build momentum, but...

 

[Cats4321]

I don’t have many complaints with Pope tonight, looks like he figured some things out. Either that or State is pure dog water.

I do like some of the adjustments...I also think this is an extremely favorable match up for us.

 

[FilsonCat]

With JQ and Lowe probably done, they are gonna have to just get after it every game.

 

[wccat]

Henricks just said the main thing....the fundamental plays. Every single possession.

 

[bbnkat02]

Remember the Alabama game where Kam barely played?

Tbf he came in and airballed it bad. But we need him to be good.

 

[bkimrey2]

Mississippi St right now looks like our film from the last month.

 

[Cats3x]

Miss St absolutely sucks... but I'll take the win.

We need to just let JJ run the point and live and die with his maturity (or lack of).

 

[wccat]

85 points....WHAT????

 

[Kyhoward1]

Now that last cut by Oweh was Pope offense. Haven't seen it much this year.

The cutter reads where the defender is cuts opposite
Good job OO!

 

[fisherscatfan]

Love that block out by Aberdeen. That’s the extra effort these guys need to see.

love it

 

[ChiefPaducah]

Can you continue to play together against better competition?

In fairness, we played well enough to beat Mizzou but shat the bed. We need to string together some wins quickly.

 

[JPFisher]

Man, if we can build on this BTA....

Not getting my hopes up, but at least we're moving more on offense.

 

[anon1777473514]

We went back to running patented 5 out zoom and playing as a unit. That’s so refreshing to see

 

[bbnkat02]

But these riches can't be fools gold. We need to be consistent!

Agreed. That was more a "Oh God, this is gonna be a bad blowout with Lowe gone" to "Dang! We having fun!"

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Up 22 under 3. Feeling pretty good about this one.

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Williams needs to game ball tonight , winning effort!

 

[bbnkat02]

Announcer just said "A lot of time left in this game" when we're up 20. Wild.

 

[AJG-15]

I like the box outs I have seen today from Jela, Aberdeen, Moreno and OO.
