Beaten Cal and Tulsa. Will be another good test. We really haven't played a good game yet this season. I was surprised to see that we are favored by 3. K-State was predicted 9th in the preseason poll.

Reminder- this streams on Peacock at 830pm Central.
Odd platform and odd tip time.

MSU - 87
KSU - 82

I do not have a good read on our team. Like I said - they have struggled in all 3 games this season. Hoping we see some of the promise that was discussed in the preseason but our frontline is lacking. I feel ok about our backcourt.

I feel like they are going to light us up from 3. Kansas State wins 90 to 79.

Looks like a Neil and Richard night for me. Mentioned before that's it's fun to go old school once in awhile and have to picture in your mind what is happening. Add that it's Neil calling it and I'm good with a little Sunbelt FB action on the TV.

I know "it's early", "we're still figuring things out", etc. but we're hard to watch at this point so maybe it's better if I just listen after all. Give me Cats over Dogs 78 - 65.

Looking like it's on NBCSN, which appears to be a new addition, on YTTV.
The station is not in the Live listings, but the game comes up in the Home listing, and... go to Sports, and look for our game.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

The hall of fame classic. Dawgs favored to win by more than 2.5pts . Vegas is usually spot on, but I say we roll.
Dawgs 99
Wildcats 64

Ima say our defense takes a step up tonight.

I could see us giving MaGee and Epps a few more tonight. like how Magee closes on defense.

Yeah. I honestly do feel a win coming but that’s just a gut

Two predictions:

1. Half our normal viewing fanbase will skip due to it being on Peacock.

2. We lose to Kansas State and the point difference will be within 2-3 points of the turnover differential.

Thanks, I'll "scroll through" to see if it's there.

Who doesn’t have the Cock?? Keep wondering why I pay for it but it’s for the Mrs. Unless you dig some Ol 80s Wrasslin! Your 2nd point … sadly I can not argue!

Yeah, I mean… Peacock has some good stuff, but now that the WWE PLEs and like 1/3 of the WWE library has gone, I find I use it less and less.

I would LOVE for this team to prove me wrong. This may be the sloppiest I’ve seen us during the Jans era. If we don’t clean up the turnovers, it’s going to be a long аss season (or a short аss season depending on how many bail).

His press conference the other day … with that raspy monotone voice, said he saw some good things in practice; however, this team so far is not translating it to game play. Which is obvious but its like …. Coach …. Maybe you need to fire these boys up! It’s a new team that needs to gel, but have to get it going for sure.
