NDSU and LA Tech are both going to be really, really tough.

At some point you have to give the other team credit, Mississippi State came out ready to win in the second. They also hit some shots they won't hit again, they aren't a great shooting team. But they had the size and their guard play was fantastic the 2nd half. Keller and the staff deserve a lot of credit IMO tonight.
That's a game that hurts because we know we could have (maybe should have) won. But very encouraging at the minimum. Down 16 and fought back with plenty of chances to take them out. Shannon rushed that 3, I think he'd do that over if he could. But man he's legit. He can play in any league. He's gonna be a huge problem for this league.
Props to Canete as well. Him fouling out was a big time loss. I didn't have much of a problem with our fouls tonight. Although some of the calls were just wrong, not just missed.
Not worried about Kevon, this was arguably the biggest game that he's played in (meaningful minutes). And his early foul trouble took him out of it quick.
Moving on! Going to be a fun year. We all need to do our part to help promote/advertise to get more butts in seats when the holidays are over.
LSU is a much more talented team than Miss St. I watched them get their butts handed to them by an excellent Notre Dame team that hit every ridiculous three they attempted. However, they have speed and size. They have a 6' 4" pg that drives the lane much better than any player we saw last night. They will be our toughest game, and I see that as a loss now, but we won't play scared.SFA_03 said:
They will be, but I still think this was our toughest game. I think we lose to one of our next 2 SEC goes, and maybe LA tech, but I don't see us losing to NDSU(what is this, football?) and I don't see us losing in conference unless it's just a head scratcher.
"That's an NCAA Tournament team, in my opinion, for sure." High praise from a guy who has the experience and ability to recognize such...INiedrauer said:
Really good stuff from their press conference. Ben Howland is a pretty big fan of (beating) SFA:

Mizz and LSU will be hard to win on the road. Louisiana tech on the road will be tough but winnable. Odds are we won't waltz through the Southland without a loss or two on the road. Three regular season loses would be great but I'm thinking five is more like it. Not being negative just cautious. I'll take it if we run the table. Lol. Also if that MSU was at Nac we get the W. Right?
They got more home cooking yesterday than most people will have on their table today.tangerito said:
