Ironically, that was Mike White's offensive speciality.Good lord
Could someone draw up a couple in bound plays , on a napkin or something.
Worst team I’ve ever seen trying to inbound the damn ball.
Wait until you see the close of the second halfTerrible close to the half so far
I can’t agree he is making the most of what he has. We have significantly more talent than the team we were playing tonight and really lucked into the win. We were blowing all our closing possessions, not blocking out or rebounding and hoping Miss St would miss their last 4 shots from a few feet from the rim. Castle particularly played poorly in the closing minutes.This was an ugly win to watch--but an impressive road win for the team, which has really turned things around from earlier this season.
Golden is making the most of what he has and the players are starting to buy-in, even if execution is lacking in a lot of areas.

This was anything but an impressive win. But any conference road win is a good win. Need to play a lot better if we want to make the tournament because this was probably the easiest game on our remaining schedule.
Since the NFL game was out of hand I watched the 2nd half. Congrats on the win, but the half court offense is an embarrassment. They look like Mike's squads with the players without the ball having their shoes buried in concrete.Good lord

Yeah, same here.Since the NFL game was out of hand I watched the 2nd half. Congrats on the win, but the half court offense is an embarrassment. They look like Mike's squads with the players without the ball having their shoes buried in concrete.
Regarding the out of bounds plays, that is 100% correct. Whether underneath our own basket or in the backcourt absolutely atrocious. Throw to the corner and get trapped immediately. As mentioned, Mike was good at inbounds plays in the front court, but he too was horrendous at inbounding against the press in the backcourt.
Lastly, how can Joe Kleine, the color ANALyst, who played college and NBA ball not know the RULES? Yes you have 10 seconds to advance the ball past half court, but if you take a timeout, that gets reset. Here is the thesis Joe. You TRADE a TO for the right to get that 10 seconds back!

No doubt, getting this quad one win was crucial if we are to make a run at getting in the dance. But the way we tried to give it away after we built the lead back up was disappointing. It was absolutely just luck that kept it from going to overtime. I think there is plenty of talent on this roster to compete with a strong SEC but they are still finding themselves. ThereIt's a Quadrant 1 win on the road and more "winnable" than some of the other, tougher ones on the schedule, so the fact we went there and still grinded out a win is impressive, even if it was sloppy and frequently difficult to watch. Especially given that Miss State is a senior-ladden team and we are most certainly not.
I also don't think we're a very talented team TBH and perhaps that's something you disagree with--but winning 4 of our last 5 after the start we had to the year shows me he's doing something different and I'll give Golden credit for that, though to be clear, I wasn't a fan of the hire.
