Miami is crushing Mississippi State early....

Benny Howland was schitcanned for a reason.

Didn't expect MSU to be any good this year but the way Howland is recruiting they will be very good.
 
I almost feel bad believing that Newman won't even get a green room invite this year.

You know Howland sold him on being D'AR, when he forgot to mention that the players around D'AR didn't suck.

Miami is on pace to hang more than 100 on them.
 
Saw the first 15 minutes of this one. Wow it was ugly. Miami should be a solid team, but MSU isn't very good. They did just lose to Southern the other day.
 
Howland sold Newman on coming in and being a point guard like Russell Westbrook, staying close to home, and getting the ultimate green light and keys to the car.

Yup. Although it's not like Russell Westbrook was this great college player. Actually I thought those Final Four teams Howland had at UCLA should have been able to score more than they did. Howland will recruit well and MSU will be much better as a result, but their offense will look uglier than it should quite often IMO.
 
yep, they bad. Newman on a bad team. Not good 4 his NBA draft stock.
 
Malik Newman is really gonna hurt his brand by going to msu. In hindsight i'm glad we whiffed on him because we probably would have never got Murray. IMO malik should have went to KU they could really use a elite guard and he would have got a lot of exposure.
 
who's D'AR?

Howland sold Newman on coming in and being a point guard like Russell Westbrook, staying close to home, and getting the ultimate green light and keys to the car. How's that gonna work out? MSU is gonna have a losing record and Newman's draft stock is gonna fall 10-15 spots at least.
D'Angelo Russell.

So, Malik Newman to this point. Safe to say we dodged a bullet there.

Even when Cal doesn't get what he wants, he still somehow finds a way to fall backwards into something even better in terms of talent, coachability, and team chemistry.

It's remarkable, really.
 
Newman is no show...

his stock will plummet.

6 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assist, 2 TO.
 
Man, they allowed Miami to score 59 points in the first half.
That's awful.
Heck, MSU scored 35 points, that's not bad but come on Howland, that's awful defense.
 
He'll leave just because of his entitlement but he'll be lucky to get drafted in the 1st round playing like this. Just an average freshman to me.
 
who or what is Dar ? LOL UM is damn good this year but Miss St blows . Newman was delusional to go there and think he could win . I hope we beat them by 100 so that moron will have to repeat how thinks Miss St can win like UK .

That kind of sounds like some Arkansas posts and tweets the last day or so. Just sayin'.
 
Dang.....Newman just didn't close out on his man and gave up a 3. Then the very next possession he passes on a wide open look at a 3 for a drive that ends in a pass to Miami for a layup going the other way. Murray's shot selection leaves a little to be desired but so far it appears we lucked into the vastly superior player.
 
I wonder why Newman isn't starting. Howland's recruiting momentum could stop as soon as it started if Newman doesn't reach his potential. It's not like it hasn't happened already at UCLA. I thought Newman wouldn't make it as a pg, maybe he'll be moved to his natural position at the two soon.
 
An echo chamber of reality.

Do you honestly believe that State and Newman have looked good and that UK didn't end up with the better deal getting Murray instead? Because that's the discussion going on here, and if that is your take then please, tell us more.

For the record, offering an alternative opinion that is unfounded in reality and goes against the consensus (or "echo chamber" as you put it) doesn't make you a trailblazing independent thinker lending a unique outsider perspective to our biased hivemind like you're trying to present it as, it just makes you pompous and ignorant.

Choosing to not judge a talented freshmen after only two games is unfounded in reality? Those steep expectations is what has left UK fans so heartbroken the past two seasons.
