[quote]How can the Mississippi schools be so bad when they are the biggest baseball supporters outside of LSU and Arkansas? Is baseball just weird like that?[/quote]
Both programs have just recruited poorly following their championships. I think Lemonis got complacent after winning the big one an...

Holy cow Ole Miss sucks.
State to me looks like a stereotypical dangerous 2 seed. Stephen and Cjintje are a nice 1-2 punch at the front of the rotation and there are a handful of good lineup pieces. Just need another arm or two and another bat or two to step up for them to take the next step befo...

State going for its eighth series win in a row over Ole Miss. Last time OM won a series against State was 2015.
State needs this one to boost their RPI which is currently kinda mediocre. OM’s season may be over for all intents and proposes if they don’t win two this weekend. ...

Ole Miss is one of the two worst hoops programs in the league along with Vandy. They weren’t good this year but still took a noticeable step forward from where Kermit had them....

State-UF is interesting, both teams shook up their rotation this weekend. State bumped up Stephen from Game 2 to Game 1 after he shut down A&M last week, UF moving Neely from the pen to Friday night starter.
If State wins a game or two this weekend I think they’d need to do it in the first two ga...
re: Who is the worst coach in SEC Basketball History?
Posted by Captain Falcon on 3/27/24 at 5:22 pm
Rick Ray had back to back 0-for-February’s. Did not win a game in the month of February until Year 3. Had two consecutive seasons with losing streaks of 13+. I watched this man lose 72-31 AT HOME to a Vandy team that finished sub .500 overall.
Amazingly he only finished last in the SEC once, whic...

We got Izzo’d. Shoulda seen it coming. This core group of players deserves credit for getting State back in the tourney two years in a row, but their deficiencies on offense capped their ceiling. Good enough to make the tournament, not good enough to win in it.
But a lot of them are gone now. Jan...
re: Mississippi St. Baseball is good (so far)
Posted by Captain Falcon on 3/20/24 at 3:22 pm
I am super skeptical still. They’re better than the last two years but that’s not saying much. The LSU series win came from nowhere, a week ago this team was struggling against a bad nonconference schedule.
If they somehow win a series in College Station or Gainesville I’ll be super impressed and...

re: March Madness Predictions For Each SEC Team
Posted by Captain Falcon on 3/19/24 at 3:45 pm
Don’t have any great logic behind this but if State can beat Sparty I will take their chances against UNC. For some reason I’m far more nervous about playing against a meh Izzo team than I am an actual 1 seed.
I have zero SEC teams in the Final Four but really would love to see the following seco...

[quote]I'm not saying it's a direct result of Bruce, but it certainly seems his arrival and Auburn's rise has accompanied the SEC becoming/returning as much bigger force in CBB. And to the extent we can trace some of that to Pearl, it's not surprising that watching a perennially awful team become p...

I’ve seen multiple media types suggesting State may beat UNC and make a Sweet 16 or Elite 8 run. I’m just worried about getting past Izzo first.
Winning in the tourney is not something State has done well outside o...

[quote]Terrible bracket in that the winner will play the #1 seed right out of the gate. But, one must win them all to score, so get it on.[/quote]
There are worse 1 seeds to be paired with. I kinda figured we might be in an 8/9 game so I was hoping for anyone not named UConn. Houston would've ...
