Getting called out at halftime for our halfcourt offense. This is what you would hear most games if they weren’t all broadcast by our network partner.

We'll be fine if we rebound and protect the ball. If not, we're toast.

I would have felt good if you told me Baylor would start 3 of 12 from three.

Halftime deficit of 5. Mainly them getting to the FT line and making them and us turning it over more than usual (8).

We can win it. I sure didn't feel that way last year. Just have to be the better team next 20 minutes somehow. Hubbard being hot would help a lot.

Bama struggling with Robert Morris. All the "SEC is great" talk isn't really bearing itself out just yet.

It’s over boys. I came in the house, made a sammich, plopped down in the recliner, and started watching the game. We should be down by double digits pretty soon and I can go back outside to my project. For those of you wondering, she’s vacuuming and I didn’t want to risk an interruption!

If we can commit a few more turnovers and give up more offensive rebounds, we could really open this game up

The SEC was and is great this season. The greatest of all time. 14 of 16 teams in the tournament.

That doesn't mean they will beat all the other good teams in the country just because.

We look like the team I watched since January. This is how talented we are. There's a lot of if only we could hit more shots and block out. Yeah, if we'd actually done more of that this year we'd be better than an 8 seed.

We shoot a 3 with zero or 1 player within 15 feet of the basket for a rebound. So stupid. So lazy. Getting abused inside, just put our 7 footer in. He's terrible, but so is everyone who's actually in the game right now (except Hubb).

Well I was joking earlier. But a lot of truth.

it really is just one kick in the nuts after another for State fans. It's going to be a long baseball season and even longer football.

I want to disagree with you so much, but I don't.

As a State fan, I can't remember a single time when forcing the other team to shoot with less than 3 on the shot clock has actually paid off for us. lol. It's automatic for the other team. Great defense by us typically = 3 points for the other team.

Contested 3s early in the clock from guys not named Hubbard should get you pulled.

Welp, we were only losing by 2 when I turned the game on. Now, we’re losing by 9. Gonna take one for the team and turn the game off in case it’s me. Y’all let me know how it goes.

Brutal sequence for jones. Misses an open look, then can’t finish at the rim which results in a Baylor breakaway.

The veteran tv announcer says it’s just Hubbard for Miss State. So I’ll take his word for it.

You keep losing in the 1st round it makes it harder to get a bid in the future or it hurts your seeding in the future.

Several months ago, I said this team would go as far as Hubbard could take us. I said he needed to find his shot for us to go anywhere this season. I was wrong. It was Cam. It was always Cam. This team went as far as Cam could take us. It just happened to be that he could only take us to January. I don't know what happened to him in January, but he's useless now. He shouldn't even be on the court at this point. All he does is catch a pass, take two steps and pass it off. That's it. I could do that.
