MSU +6.5.
O/U 157.

I don’t see MSU winning an ‘over’ type game. Hard to see us winning with both teams flirting with 80.

Hubbard’s over / under is 14.5.

There's so much more fun to watch these games with the audio turned off well at least turned down. We're all I can hear is the whistle whenever they call us for a foul or the ball out of bounds for Kentucky. I mean, we are playing Kentucky, you know, have to beat all seven players, five ball players, and two referees.

Kentucky got so much fluff money for bball, they can pull a random from the crowd and dish 10k.

BTW, sounds like Keyshawn Murphy has left the team or has been suspended indefinitely. I don’t think he’s been in Starkville the last week or two. Guessing he’s not available again tonight.

So far in this half, how many trips did they get to the free-throw line versus us? Has Kentucky gotten a shooting file yet? Damn they play some perfect basketball don't they...

Is that kind of like what other fans think when their team is playing in the Hump? They are having to play 5 on 8?
It ain't the damn refs! It is the talent differential. And always will be when State plays the Top Teams in Basketball or Football. It is never going to be advantage MSU. Ever!

We finally got shooting . That's what happens when you take the ball inside instead of shooting up threes all the time.

Well let's not forget it's a road game. Don't forget how hard it is to win on the road in SEC basketball. I wonder what our SEC record will be after this game ??

I don't know how Shaq and a college basketball player can be that bad at shooting free throws.

Tolu shoots FTs like he would throw darts, aiming. Just softly shoot, let the ball roll off your fingers and hit front iron or swish. Isn't that damn hard

This team has been playing like it knows it’s gonna lose since the tip. TOs, poor rebounding, and missed FTs isn’t a great combo either

This roster still just doesn’t have the talent it needs to consistently win.

We used to have one sport, baseball, where we had more talent and felt confident we'd beat every other team we played because that's what often happened.

The dentist needs an offensive coordinator badly. If he can’t adapt then sayonara. With coaches like Pearl, Musselman, Oates, etc this **** is gonna get run out of the gym most years. Those guys know how to light up a scoreboard.

Ton of dribbling no passing. Both Jones three we passed the ball from one side of the court to the other. Played like we were losing from tip. I agree with that

This defense. Someone watch the bucket theh score at the 8:19 mark. What was the plan there? Surely it’s not Tolu playing 12 feet under the ball screen.

At least Jans isn't blowing a gasket. He looks like he expected to get run out by half and is not letting this molestation get him.

Because nobody else tried at Baseball. With the resources we have put in Baseball the last 40 years compared to everyone else,we should have 10 National Championships

UK looks to have far superior athletes and better shooters. I guess they just slept walked through the aTm game.
