Mississippi State vs. South Carolina: Gameday Open Thread

by Gamecock Man on Mar 13, 2009 12:00 PM EDT

See my preview here, and check out Gate 21 for a great breakdown of all the teams and their chances in the tourney. The key to beating State is managing to get around Varnado while you have the ball and defending the three well while State has the ball. We should be able to do those things, but we lost against them in Starkville, so this will undoubtedly be a tough one. At any rate, we almost certainly need this game to make the NCAAs, so the pressure is on. Let's get some revenge against these Bulldogs!

If you're serious, send it along :-)...

I’m a big fan of pasting massive logos on my columns.

And MSU hits another 3 with under 6 min. to go...

The Cocks could heat up any time now…

Inexcusable.

Ugh. Punch in the gut.

What a shitty way to start St. Patrick’s day weekend.

ugh

This was only the second game I’ve seen this season (other being the domination of UK). Well, can’t do much when MSU is shooting about 95% on their 3pts. Hopefully we can still get into the NCAA T.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of the team can answer this: Was it just me or did USC just abandon the inside game in the second half?

Gamecocks perimeter D

has been a huge no show the last few games….they have given up open shots left and right

oh and

yes the inside game has been weak….play of Holmes/Muldrow/ Archie (archie did play good this game) has been weak….just not getting good position or boxing out

Sure.

How how many foul shots did we give MSU?

I don't see how we make the Tournament now.

And frankly, I don’t want to watch another game like this again. I think the team has played up to it’s potential. Everything on the line and we still can’t beat MSU in a revenge game on a nuetral court. In all seriousness, NIT is where we belong.
