We had success in Mississippi last year against the Rebels. Does lightning strike twice? I actually think this team is improved over the team that won in MS last year.

Yes, I think this is our best team in a long time... we look bigger, stronger and faster than we ever have.
Seems like we can shoot better to.
I just worry about defense and rebounding.

As UT Martin found out….the Bulldogs will let a lot of 3 pointers fly. Also registered 9 blocks in that game. We need to take the open shot when it presents itself.

Didn't have a chance to watch any of our first couple of games (men or women), but I checked the recaps and box scores. From what I can tell, I like the first six or seven guys. As y'all have said, we're still lacking when it comes to big guys, but I think that's just something mid-majors will have to deal with going forward. Any dude that can really play the 4 or 5 will probably portal to a bigger school if he's somehow missed by them out of high school. Of course, the college game is already so guard-heavy that it might not matter. The key is to find guards or wings with decent height that are also willing to fight for rebounds. Anything you get out of the inside game just seems to be gravy these days.
I'm rambling, but yeah. Should be interesting to see how we stack up against an SEC team. I would rather be playing them in December like we did with Ole Miss last year, but it is what it is.

We are decent sized this year. 6’9” pretty big and also 6’7” to help on weak side. Backup is 6’11” and then another 6’7” can come in to play too. Guards are taller at 6’3 and 6’4 with exception of Lane who is just faster than everyone else on the court. We need to hit some shots and rebound tonight and we have a chance.

Need to settle down. This is a rough way to open the game.

Their big guy is manhandling the Lions on each end of the floor.

Turnovers get you beat. Cut it to 5 them team completely imploded with 4 straight turnovers. Hate we are playing scared. Be aggressive.

Hopefully they play better than the men. Whew we are so sloppy? Hard to watch right now without any offense. Hope we improve a lot by Saturday. Ugly basketball for us. We made it too easy for the Bulldogs. They make a layup and we foul them and they make their free throws…we got to start practicing those.
