Mississippi St. vs Alabama (Game Thread)

[TIDE-HSV]

As many fouls as we've drawn , we may get to lose this one from the FT line .

Unless we can keep them in foul trouble. That'll start to tell, if we can just hold together long enough...

At least MS has some potential foul trouble. Gordon has three. If they pick up a couple of quick fouls after halftime, we might see MS go to zone. If so, we have to hit some long ones.

Bama needs this one in the worse way. But, considering our play in the last two games, I'm not getting excited yet. This one is winnable.

Ruby Tuesday's POTW just happens to be UT. What a wonder?

We've got to hit some threes and get Hendrix some more easy shots. We lived off of FT's down the stretch of the 1st half. Otherwise, we are going to get blown out ala Auburn last year. They are scoring farely easy when they don't turn the ball over.

I've heard Bayou mention this before...

Some good news: We are in it despite shooting 39% from the field, 14% from behind the arc, and 53% from the line. That, and we arent in foul trouble.

Jemison called for the foul.

At halftime...

MSU is 7-14 (50%) from three point range.

Alabama is 9-17 (52%) from the free throw line.

How absurd is it that MSU is shooting threes at effectively the same percentage that are shooting free throws?

With good perimeter defense and good free throw shooting, we are probably winning this game, instead of trailing by five.

Decided not to guard that three, I guess...

Lucky so far. Stats will have to improve this half if we expect to win.
We need to put a man on Gordon.

Riley called for his 3rd foul of the game.

Nobody moved at all to help RH. One of the basics...

 

[BigAL413]

If Pickett can develop an oustide shot he will be a great one..right now he is no threat to pull up from behind the arc, and as such teams can sag off of him..


Too much standing when Hendrix gets doubled

[TIDE-HSV]

Well, here we go. They're ignoring him and he's hitting from 8' behind the arc...
