Mississippi State or St. Louis, and why?

[Gallipoli]

This will be a rock fight. Mississippi State has a very large front court. St. Louis plays in your face defense and a tough physical brand of basketball. Mississippi State pulls this one out. Although, St. Louis is a better match-up for the Spiders.

 

[SpiderGuy]

St L with Hasahn French & the rest of all their physicality is a better match-up for us?????? They live in the paint & on the boards against us. They dominated against us in the paint.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

Give me coach Napoleon and the Slu crew. We already are undefeated in the SEC.

 

[Gallipoli]

Let me rephrase that. I think our Spiders want another shot at St. Louis. They know St. Louis. I think they believe they can beat St. Louis on a neutral court. But I still think MSU beats St, Louis.

 

[SFspidur]

I don't know who will win that matchup, but I'd rather the Spiders face Mississippi State. I never have a good feeling about SLU and I don't want to go through that again.

We are a terrible match-up against SLU. We want Mississippi State.

 

[CH_Spider]

The A-10 fan in me wants to play SLU. We stand no chance against the Billikens. Give me the Bulldogs!

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I thought we would be helped by the fact that there are only 3 P6 teams in the entire NIT field, but yeah in this case bring on the SEC team.

We are a terrible match-up against SLU. We want Mississippi State.

I can't decide. Miss St has 5 players 6'9" or taller and 245 lbs or heavier that play double digit minutes and are better as a team at getting offensive rebounds than SLU. That seems like a bad matchup.

On the other hand, as a team they seem worse than this year's Kentucky...

 

[Gallipoli]

This will be a slug fest. The advantage is that our Spiders will have more rest than either of them, but my preference is definitely Mississippi State.

 

[SpiderK]

We play the St Louis enough. Mississippi State would be something different.

Here's one for GKilller...somebody needs to tell our sports information folks how to fill out a bracket.

Maybe SLU and Miss State called Hardt and said they don't want to play because of our covid protocols?

Lol. & they used that stupid blocky font.

But think it means we are so out of practice filling out a bracket. Nobody fills out the NIT. I get depressed getting invites to bracket pools. Another f'ing year to fill these out without the Spiders on it.

 

[SpiderRick]

I'd rather we play a team that hasn't played against Mooney more than once. It only takes one time to know exactly what Mooney will (or won't) do.

Just noticed Miss St lost to Vandy...by 20...at home...
I think I have my answer.

 

[SpiderK]

Davidson got crushed.

 

[spider23]

Watching NCAAS, makes me realize how bad Mooney is not to be able to make the tournament. Wow moon, u suck worse than I thought before.

 

[Gallipoli]

How is SLU this sloppy? State is up by 8.

SLU is scared to play us...they know they stand no chance against Mooney

They are throwing the game. I like it.

 

[Gallipoli]

Now if only UVA gets cancelled.

 

[plydogg]

Well, it ended up being Mississippi State...although I can't get excited for this game until I get all of my excitement out on VCU forfeiting.

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

Really wanted to play StL. Still think Mooney should go but after seeing the way the players performed against Toledo, like to see if they could pay back StL after the last game.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

We got revenge on Toledo for that tangerine bowl loss. Time to avenge those two losses to Mississippi St during the 2001 campaign to go 3-0 in the SEC this year.

 

[Gallipoli]

St. Louis ultimately could not adjust to a team that out-toughed them. St. Louis had no way to respond.

I don’t think getting into a rock fight with a team that out toughed SLU bodes well for us.

We are more of a pillow fight team.
