Need to defend and shoot the 3 better. Tigers had a field day.

Sounds eerily familiar

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

I’m one of the more positive folks when it comes to hoops, but this team is gonna be worse than last year’s. Still can’t defend the 3, still suck at FTs, still don’t have a PG, and very little post presence. Okafor will be a bigger bust than Ballard….let that sink in.

It’s gonns be a long year.

 

[Xenomorph]

So... we've played 3 meaningless scrimmages and each time the other team didn't understand the assignement?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Out coached by Penny.

That has to say something.

 

[Puppers]

Where would Jans be if Hubbard doesn't leave OM after Kermit got fired?

Same **** we always hear but you left off "need to improve f/t shooting"........

As long as Hubbard is playing, there will be little perimeter defense. He compromises all of the defense. That is the price you pay for his offense. This post is neither pro nor anti Hubbard. It is just stating fact.

Hubbard barely played. Can’t blame it on him tonight.

According to many SPS folk, Hubbard is overrated and a liability.
Based on that, Jans would likely be in a better position right now.

Not here this year.

It applies when he does.

 

[civildawg88]

Exact same team Jan's had has for the last three years. Paying him a top 15 salary btw

 

[Maroon13]

Anforknee really needed this game tonight. Did he sit any starters?

Only heartburn on this is, Memphis media was calling this the opener and will report it as such. State fans, no bragging rights.

But who we got without him on the court? Been the issue since Jans. He can't build a whole team.

He didn’t play that much. Just bad defense once again from a defensive coach.

 

[Dawg22]

We’ve got some players I like and think it will be a slight improvement over last year. That’s about it. Hope I’m wrong but looks like more of the same with different players. No offense and the defense has been very disappointing.

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

If Johnson is our only option at PG, it’s gonna be a long year. He got stripped 3 times just bringing the ball up the court.

 

[Villagedawg]

Welp

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since it’s an exhibition and Memphis looks like a good team this year.

We start the real season with 3 games we should win without question and then we’ll find out what we have in mid to late November.

Xavier
UCF
Tulsa
Wake Forest
Memphis/Penn State

All in a row, all away from Starkville.

I think they play at Arkansas this coming week. Will be interesting how that turns out.

I don’t care about the score of these. But 4-22 from 3 feels like Groundhog Day

Haven’t defeneed the 3in ages. No muscle down low. Again……sigh

 

[Anon1749038494]

These stats are atrocious. Yes we played a ton of guys but woof.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Famous last words...

Well if we lose to TN Tech, Northwestern State, or Jackson State then we’re definitely screwed. Those three teams were a combined 30-61 last year and all were sub 300 in the NET.

23 minutes ≠ barely played

I don’t know what Jans deal is with not getting point guards.

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

Let me rephrase then. The perimeter D sucked just as bad if not worse with Hubbard out.

I do think it has somewhat forced Jans to coach away from his preferred style. Hard to make the argument that it would be better without a good player like Hubbard. But not sure Jan’s has been a good coach to try to take advantage of Hubbard talent.

 

[She Mate Me]

I hate being right about Jans.

I listened to the student radio broadcast last night. To their credit they pointed out with Hubb off the floor we make entry passes and play better team ball. With Hubb on the floor we just hand of to him left or right at the top without looking to make entry passes. We’ve done this his entire career and it can’t be very motivating to the bigs to get position and look for scoring opportunities. Jans really should change that to include more of the team on offense, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

It’s just an exhibition. It’s just an exhibition. Big yeah. This does have a very strong “haven’t we seen this before” feeling.

 

[Baddog11]

Picked to finish last by the media? This could be a banner year .

 

[J-Dawg]

If we don’t have an extremely successful baseball season, there will be absolute anarchy inside our athletic department. Well, there should be anyway.

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

I’d like to know why tee Bartlett gets zero playing time. He dropped a bunch of weight, was highly recruited out of high school, but just sits at the end of the bench with his warm-ups on looking totally disengaged. Is he not good enough to get some of okafor’s minutes?

is this another Jans miss?

Because Jans literally can't develop him into a basketball player. No player under Jans has actually improved year after year
