Arkansas @ Mississippi St (10) - 2/27/20

[SECbbfan24]

Don't invite any other team to the SEC tourney apart from South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Arkansas. Those are the 3 who things exciting. The others play are often too ugly to watch.

Alabama says hello, they hot right now. Arkansas isn't all that pretty either, they recently lost to Florida. They can go hot or cold depending on the day. They shot well for the most part tonight but still was trailing 10+ for really the whole game. My issue with Arkansas is their system of street ball jacking up 3's isn't consistent formula in the Long run


MSU and SC are the two best teams in the SEC though.

Ah..... right. Just have those 4 in a semifinal face off and that's all.

Wow. Something that you and I *almost* agree on

But I do have a spot in my heart for LSU this season.

How are you going to have a tourney w/ 3 teams? Round robin? Just hope they don't all go 1-1.

I feel bad for Chelsea Dungee. She worked so hard during her redshirt season to get her weight down, but she is clearly a different person this year. Really tough to watch.

We slugged it out against the power house Vandy squad at home, that had us on the ropes before we came back in the 4th. Vandy I feel is so close but just cannot get over that hump. So many close games this year that have completely fallen apart for them in the 4th quarter.

We are doing the best we can do but we clearly aren close to the same caliber team without Mitchell. We have too many holes that can't be replaced with her absence.

Vic did me proud in this game. I figured he could expose the dirty secret of Arkansas, namely that their defense is horrible.

Good game for MSU. This may be just what they needed to end their recent funk.

It was a good overall game for A Espinoza-Hunter and A Matharu. I wouldn’t have expected those two to play such a big role tonight. I would have thought A Espinoza-Hunter would have been too slow to play defense. However her length and size really impacted Arkansas. She also did a good job on the midrange jumpers and running the offense. She didn’t get tempted at the end to take the shot on the fast break but pulled it out to run the clock. I would have thought A Matharu would get too sped up and caught up in Arkansas’s style. Congratulations to both.

I liked LSU a lot until they lost Mitchell. Not their fault their best player went down, but fact is they dropped 2 games they should've won because of that.

Yeah.... all those missed shots created so many rebounds (38 of them) for MSU. They could've done better if they could rebound those but when they can't, not even 11 threes can save them.

What you think you've noticed and what is reality are two separate things. Be glad you're allowed to talk about the Bulldogs on a UConn board.

Are you kidding with this comment? If not, guess where you can go with it?

Did AEH steal your lollipop?

 

[triaddukefan]

I will say this about the Miss State Coach... he seems to be the most friendly of the coaches in the post game handshake line. Most of them go through the line like they have diarrhea and need to head to the bathroom asap.

did she gain girth this season?

 

[IWearShoes]

Was Mingo-Young's absence discussed here or on the telecast?

ETA or Xaria Wiggins?

 

[DaBball]

did she gain girth this season?

IMO, she was noticeably slower and "girthier". I recall her blowing by players left and right last year, and she couldn't even get past Chloe Bibby tonight.

 

[GoDawgs4]

Not sure about MY as to why she did not play tonight.

I was amused at those announcers trying to play up the SECT. It will be a snooze fest until Saturday.
Alabama is playing very well and could certainly do some damage. However winning 4 games in 4 days is very difficult.

Don’t feed the troll.

Carter was quite serviceable as Teaira lite vs Arky with 21 & 11. Teaira had 24 &14 in the SECT Championship Game last year.

State shot 57% from the field and 68% from 2 pt range.

Dungee with 4 points on 1-13 shooting. A better performance for her and the result may have been different.

J Carter needs a low post with some size. Pending a grad transfer it appears it will be her and S Cooks starting next season. I’m curious as to which Coach Schaefer will play primarily in the post.

LSU has played exactly zero games that could be deemed works of art. Just their free throw shooting alone deserves some kind of Bronx cheer award. But they've shown heart, both before and after Mitchell went down. They're just outmanned by too many teams now. Mitchell left such a void.

You do realize there is a UConn connection and people might want to follow what she does, especially after she was heralded as a big loss.

Where I can go with it? You started with the childish crap.

And don't be ridiculous. E-H has 24 steals in two years. I think any lollipop is safe.

 

[militarydog]

Overall it was one of the better games in a while for MSU. However there are still several areas of concern. Coach Schaefer is still having to shuffle the lineup too much this late in the season as he can’t get a consistent group to rise above the rest. There is no true low post presence. J Carter is playing out of position and doesn’t play well through contact.

Bibby's role next season should be interesting. Experienced senior leadership will be needed, but minutes may be scarce with Carter, Cooks & Rickea available.

Childish is making snide comments about any bad performance she has as you have a tendency to do. I just pointed it out.

MSU has players transfer for more playing time frequently. We don't obsess over them after they leave and certainly don't hope they fail. I root for them to do well.

We lost a key contributor this fall in Bre'amber Scott, who could have helped us this year. I haven't seen a negative thing written about her transfer anywhere, and she played key minutes last season. Steadied the team after Bibby went down vs South Carolina.

I honestly don't get it. AEH is clearly a good teammate who is well liked. Why not root for her?

Yup, seems like the last time he was struggling with lineups late in the season was 2017...

No, you made a false accusation as you just did again, then asked if "it" was personal.

I have not rooted for her to fail. I have pointed out that she's A) not played much and B) struggled when she has over the last three months.
