GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Mississippi State

[nobballconcept]

Only team I have ever seen that gives up wide open shots over and over

[BDSCT51]

These guys look really bad tonight. I hope it doesn't get any uglier.

[hogcam]

Why is our defense so bad?  State is over 50% from 3 range.

Mike Anderson

[Razorbacks#1]

38-32 Hogs
Thomas/2

[Razorbacks#1]

40-32 MS

[Bogghawg]

The home field advantage we loved so much when I was in school isn't just less, it is 100% full blown GONE.  It makes me sick to look at and listen to our home games.

Looks like it huh!

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Same MSU team who lost to East Tennessee State

[discombobulationist]

Pathetic

[riccoar]

Nice blockout

[hogman99]

Losing to a horrible miss state team at home

If you think moving the ball on offense, taking good shots and rebounding horrible I'll take some of that. 

[Razorbacks#1]

40-34 MS
Moses/2

[rzrbackramsfan]

Mannys playing wayyy to many minutes.  He's not feeling it this game offensively or defensively. 

[Razorbacks#1]

40-34 MS @ the half

[hawgrunner]

Better make some changes at the half.

[JD Hogg]

The worst rebounding team in the league is out rebounding the hogs by 7. I'm embarrassed for them.

[Bogghawg]

Even if no one ever mentions rebounding in their practices now, didn't these guys ever learn that you need to block out in high school or pee-wee or sometime??

[revolution]

That half sucked. Glad our staff had this team prepared.

[HogCzar1]

MSU 23-10 run to end half.

[TNhawgfan]

One more half before the pitchforks come out

[arkfan81]

Why is our defense so bad?  State is over 50% from 3 range.

Well, we "trap" they make an extra pass to guy posted for open shot.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Just a disgusting half of basketball. We are at HOME! We should be the aggressor but the are punking us in our own building.

They have been way way more aggressive than us.

[riccoar]

I think Hogs need to for go the halftime speech and stay out and shoot baskets

[Dropkick]

Losing to a horrible miss state team at home

They have a much, much better coach than we do.

[micali]

I wish we would quit man to man. We double team and leave a 3 pt shooter wide open.

[Karma]

Season rides in this next 20 minutes. Extremely tough road to tourney with a loss tonight.

[Dropkick]

Where's FCJ? We need a ray of sunshine here.

[hogmolar]

All I can do is look at Moses and shake my head. 

[trippigs]

Pat Bradley telling it like it is.....we just don't defend what we knew they would do

[TheSportsGuy]

Notice the announcers say that we don't block out, don't know who we switch with on defense, n stand around on offense.  They seem surprised like we just haven't shown up for the game....  sadly they don't realize it's the way this team plays every game.  I'm tired of watching bad basketball.  Even if we win, it looks ugly.  I just can't understand how it's so hard to teach basic fundamentals. Beyond frustrating

[XavierZane]

They'll cool down on threes.  Without that, they start to lag. 

[Potosihog]

Kingsley and Watkins need to sit out the second half

[arkfan81]

All I can do is look at Moses and shake my head.

It's everyone, not just him

[tee1up2par]

Pat Bradley just called them out. Said we knew they were gonna come out and shoot threes but to let them have wide open looks is asking for trouble.

[HoopS]

Two halves.

I expect the second half to be better.

That said -

We are frustrating to watch.

[Scott7703]

Only team I have ever seen that gives up wide open shots over and over

It will be a great day for razorback basketball when we hire a coach who actually teaches defense and expects it to be played. Not the chaotic crap we attempt to play but actual defense where the expectation is to cover the other team we will see better basketball. Oh and if we could actually run a set offensive play it would help to.

[Dropkick]

They'll cool down on threes.  Without that, they start to lag. 

Is that our defense, wait till they cool off, lol.

[Letsroll1200]

You can't play Manny that many minutes!! This is one of the worse half of basketball I have seen this year. Missing front ends on your free 5hrows. Just piss poor effort and bs defense. This young State team has confidence now!!!

[TNhawgfan]

I think Hogs need to for go the halftime speech and stay out and shoot baskets

All mike would do anyway is say we're so close guys, we got this

[riccoar]

Or blockout for a rebound

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

I hope we quit double teaming the perimeter. It just creates more wide open 3s for them.

[hogcam]

Our players didn't know they shoot threes because they don't watch film. Just sick of watching us double team and them getting a wide open three.  Coaching. Coaching. Coaching. Lose this game and attendance gets even worse

[Letsroll1200]

Kingsley and Watkins need to sit out the second half

I agree on Watkins.

[WMHawgfan]

I wish we would quit man to man. We double team and leave a 3 pt shooter wide open.

playing man is fine just stop doubling and leaving shooters open, and please stop pressing for the love of God

[Ironhawg]

Mike Anderson

Man I walked right into that one!

[The real Hogules]

We're standing around on both ends of the court. And when we double team an MSU player on defense there's  no anticipation by the other 3 defenders as to where the ball is likely to be passed. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but at least for tonight sit Kingsley and play Thompson.

[hogman99]

Well, we "trap" they make an extra pass to guy posted for open shot.

Yep, its called lazy defense. The worst part is it is on every game film and the staff does nothing to improve. It is actually quite a head scratcher.

[ishankem]

Better make some changes at the half.

Hahaha, boy, that's funny

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Defense and rebounding is about want to. 

[HawgHeadCheese]

Dusty Hannahs needs to sit. If his offense isnt going he has no business on the court.
