Cam Matthews. Favorite Bulldog Basketball Player Ever.

Cam Matthews literally put this team on his back against a Top 10 Kentucky team AND the cheating SEC refs and almost got it done.
Cam has to be in MSU basketball Mount Rushmore.

He carried them tonight. Give me five Cam Matthews any day! Dude is all dawg.
Richard Williams postgame quoted; “that was the greatest performance by a Mississippi State men’s basketball player that I have ever watched”
It's probably a little recency bias but I love the guy too. I wish we had gone inside more with him tonight. We took too many threes in the first half. Feels like we could have had them in foul trouble earlier if we had played inside more.
He kept the crowd in the game tonight when we needed them most. That was a great crowd tonight too.

Cam is our 6 star guy. Unreal tonight. Leading scorer. Double double. 6 steals.
Heart and soul of this team. Shows up every time.

We need to be working on an NIL deal just to keep Cam in Starkville and not entering any professional draft. Then, when the inevitable “unlimited eligibility” ruling comes down, we sign him on till he’s 35. Whatever it takes.
All around extraordinary performance. Free throws, paint, even three point shots. Absolute beast.
Need him at Defensive End on passing downs during Football Season. Could you imagine him coming off the edge?
If NCAA allows 5 year players - he could maybe come back next year. This is his 5th year this season. But if they go to 5 years eligibility- he could play a 6th because of Covid year. That’s my hope at least.
Here’s how I feel about Cam Matthews. I’m a male over the age of eleven. I would wear his jersey in public.
I could be wrong, but I don't think he sat down in the 2nd half. He gave the team everything he had last night
And the wildest part of it was that when I was watching him during the last few possessions of the game, I swear he looked like he could go another 40. That dude's motor just doesn't quit
I think he’s in my all time MSU starting 5
I've said on another forum that Cam Matthews has solidified a place on my personal Mt. Rushmore of MSU sports. I go back to 1978 when i was 8 years old. Would bet in that time that I've laid my eyes or at least my ears on 95% of all MSU contests in any of the big three sports. Cam's performance Saturday night was a Top 3 performance. In any sport. Given 4 spots for Rushmore, it has to be Dak, Jake, TA, and Cam.
they stop at 3XL which excludes half of the guys here
I hope $30 of it is NILDid you just order a $35 t-shirt?
Judged by his numbers alone, he is most assuredly deserving. Just a whole different era to be able to compare to for me. I might need more than 4 spots for my Rushmore?
I also think Cam's place in MSU history, as it relates to Bulldog lore, has to be weighed against the NIL era that he is playing in. The others mentioned didn't have that as a distraction to be disloyal to State. I think Cam's loyalty, his heart, and 1000% motor are generational stuff.
Absolutely, if we had gone inside, we could have won that game. Nobody was on from outside, and we should have gotten away from those shots.
His backward dunk shot (or whatever it's called) was a thing of beauty and inspired the team and the crowd.
