MBB Postgame: (Mississippi State) Lamont Paris News Conference 01/04/25

Sorry about the loss. You know the thing l liked most about watching last year's team was it's leadership. It's leadership never backed down from a fight. They responded with overwhelming defense. if the other team tried to punch them in mouth they responded with overwhelming defensive. They made sure no one out worked them out rebounded them out Hustled them for each lose ball. We now in SEC play and no one remembers about last year and what you did You going have earn respect all over and find your own way of winning this year. The new leaders are going have set the tone if you expect to win in this league. So Let that be a tone that we will fight to win no matter how tough it gets no one will out work us or out rebound us or out defend us. Good thing it just 1 game we have a lot more to play our style of basketball scrappy aggressive overwhelming defensive basketball where they hate to see you coming to play against them. Anyway go gamecocks looking forward to the next game and hoping to see you get a win.

Coach keep up the good work I believe in you and your staff.

[@bornwinna7645]

It was a small lead so I went to the grocery store and when I got back it was 73-48!! No excuses, they have to turn the corner with the caliber of players we have. We have to compete to get to the next level.

[@alacritical7873]

I do think this is going to be an incredibly difficult year for us in our prospects of making the NCAA tournament are quite grim, but we can’t let this one game define how the rest of conference play will unfold for us. we are more talented than this. we *should* be more disciplined and competitive than this. I know that we can perform so much better than we did this afternoon

[@PSi-p9i]

Just one of those days

[@saltydog4759]

one of those days when your team just plain quit.

[@BobbyWalker-jz7ur]

Coach we need some New York guards.

[@neilgggg1]

just one of those games where we got off on the wrong foot.. Figuring and hoping we'll fare much better in upcoming games.

[@jimmyf9766]

We looked like a high school team playing a college team!!!

[@andrewmoffitt4215]

Stute has to be present! CMB needs help. He will be smothered until we show shooting consistency. The next two teams we never beat so got work cut out (but it’s doable). 2-19 is atrocious and will not win games. Love coach Paris but he certainly misses Meechie, Ta’Lon and BJ! But if Stute can give us a huge lift if he wakes up. One thing for sure, over the last three years, when we lose we lose BIG. Let’s go team and play like we know you can and show people we are not pushovers

[@michaelburton4025]

You can't say it any better CMB needs help it's just not there or is it to me every game is a track meet the games they won in some cases was a all out struggle why can't the mens basketball get a consistent ncaa tournament coach go cocks

[@ALONZORICHARDSON-y1f]

They are short on talent and its not looking like they got any coming in iam not really sold on his coaching ability but I let the season play out ....this team not built for SEC its going to be a long season

[@EXOmakemeHorololo]

That's not true. We got talent but the guys are not playing up to their potential nor coaches standard

[@michaelburton4025]

I tell you what if they don't step up there gonna get beat badly cause every team in this league has gotten better. Go cocks

[@Chicken-Emperor]

Short in guard talent specifically. I think CMB and Pringle are good down low, but we have no threat to score from the guard position. Not consistently at least.

[@michaelburton4025]

Your exactly correct our guard play is not up to par and has wayyyyy to many turnovers also I mean I just see a long season they could win a few games but not many the streak will continue still want have back to back ncaa tournament means appearances since the late 90s with foegler its sad go cocks

[@dalereeves971]

They never got off the bus. I don't watch quitters

[@qunicy9498]

Where is Conyers on a miserable looking team? Cmon coach? If you don't straighten this out , we will be seller dwellers.

[@Martin-f5z]

I agree give Conyers a chance
