Funny how the offense finally broke out of it a little at the 11th hour after Jr comes off the floor.

If we keep winning like this, we aren’t going to learn a lesson. It’s awesome to win and pull it out but it’s happening too much

Ugly to blow the huge lead, but they stepped up at the end.

I see our FT shooting is still shite.

I can make 3 out of 4 free throws consistently and I'm an average height, late 30s white dude.

I don’t know basketball like some of y’all, but is it really possible to sugar coat us blowing that kind of lead haha

Dazon looked like he had the flu for large portions of the second half. Although it’s a bit harsh to single out anyone in that second half.

That was miserable, but now that it’s over a win is a win and that’s four in a row.

Amazing thing is we came into tonight shooting 78 percent in sec games. Didn't see the game but followed it on phone. ...Crazy that we had 17 assists to only 11 turnovers , so guess the ft shooting kept msu in it. But it looks like these guys are finding a way to make the crucial plays and that's important for a teams growth.

This is just me, but I kinda expected it. We don't always get huge leads like that and we have a tendency to go cold, real cold, on offense in almost every single game.

Not really. Kind of pissed, but momentum is so huge basketball, and State capitalized. Still no excuse to blow an 18-point lead, but it's a top 100 RPI win, so I guess we shouldn't complain. :/

Teams go on runs. It’s pretty tough to maintain a fifteen plus point lead against decent teams. It was really just a regression from playing so well in the first half to our normal way of playing in the second half coupled with state getting hot and making shots.

We missed a ton of shots right around the basket. Even in the first half.

We were a mess in the halfcourt offense in the second half, but they have some talented guards who made some tough shots.

It’s a solid RPI win. No one will really give a shite about how it happened after tonight.

Yeah at work so had to track on phone. Seems like they were sharing the ball the first half, must've gotten stagnant on offense in 2nd half. Important that we didn't crack late though...Looks like they stepped up in crunch time. Look around the league and you'll notice alot of 1 and 2 possession games, encouraging that we re learning how to win close ones
