the hump has been rockin for 8 straight minutes. excellent game. seems no one can keep bama under 90. so state has to stay on fire.

i know it. youngblood’s three late in our game was a killer. i feel better knowing he’s just for real. if his feet are set it’s likely going in.

they only shoot 3’s and layups. sounds easy, but their system just works. sears had a couple floaters but that’s it. they’re 15-31 from 3. that will work every time.

hubbard deserved a chance there. his team shit the bed on him the last minute. missed a one inch shot, didn’t block out, lazy hand off. they also should have taken a time out.

i think bama reached in because they were going to foul him. no way you let hubbard get off a 3 there.

If hubbard played like today against us, we would be blown out.

Thankfully he did not perform well against us.
 
Hubbard is a slightly inefficient volume scorer on average (39% from the field and 36% from three on the year), but when he gets in the zone like he did tonight or against us last year, it pretty much doesn’t even matter how you guard him. He hit some crazy shots, and Alabama was lucky to get out of there with a win tonight.
 
Alabama is good but damn they are lucky. Everybody on their team seemed to be hitting threes. Hubbard didn’t have a lot of help scoring for state, they had two good chance in the last 30 seconds and did choke the game away. Missed a lay up and then dribbled it out of bounds, Hubbard should have touched the ball but didn’t.

Their defence is in top 50, better than us

And their offence is really tough to be guarded

If you can make greatest offence and ok defence, you can still win
Bama's defense last year was worse than ours this season and they made a run to the Final Four.

This year, Bama is probably slightly worse on O than they were last year, but they more than make up for it in improved defending. Omoruyi was a big addition to their roster and has helped transform their interior defense.
 
Do not think he will transfer

But if he transfers, throw 2-3m nil on him to try to grab him here

This kid is a winning player, other players in MSU are burden on him
I would not be totally surprised if he decided to transfer. Like you said the other players are a burden to him. Unless they bring in a couple of more good players I can't see them doing anything great. I say make that 2 to 3 million dollar offer and make him say no.

ole miss hangs on and beats Texas.
We'll knock them down a peg and make them a a victim of a 4 game win streak going into our rematch against UT at Rupp.

At 7-3 in conference and 8 win quad 1 wins, high seed hype would be revived, and we'd start to convince ourselves we are contenders lol.

this is why we need butler. one ninja guard can eff up your whole team. they could not keep hubbard out of the lane. then he’s hitting tough off balance threes. there’s not much you can do with that.
