Meanwhile, Miss St on 18-6 run to take 31-26 lead.

If Baylor goes down at some point, I feel pretty good about our chances. None of these teams are consistent or complete.

Well Louisville ain't beating them. Maybe if Miss State turns the game into sludge they'd have a chance.

 

[HoopsFan21]

This is the time of year where you figure out which players are MVPs.

 

[ASweet3781]

Plum being shut down.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Osahor has such a nonchalant 3 point shot.

 

[HoopsFan21]

38-29 Miss St half

 

[Vowelguy]

Good fan support from MSU.

 

[Vowelguy]

I like GG as an analyst.

 

[BigBird]

Washington on fire early from 3. Does Miss State really have enough offense to compete?

It would seem so at the moment.

 

[mntncougar]

Tryingto watch both games. Main thing I've noticed in the MSU Washington game is that Osahor(?) looked completely gassed half way through the 2nd period.

 

[Jimbo]

Gotta give it to Mississippi State. Holding Washington to 9 points in a quarter, and Plum without a shot attempt for a stretch of over 5 minutes, is pretty darn impressive.

Plum being shut down.

That's what happens when you play 5 on 2 but she is also missing a number of relatively easy shots. Looks like the pressure of carrying her team is getting to her.

Washington scored 9 points in 2nd quarter, giving up 25 to Miss St. Washington's cold shooting started towards the end of the 1st quarter and continued into 2nd quarter. Miss St is getting some easy low post baskets as well as hitting their 3 point shots.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Just wish Ohio St would play some good defense with the talented players they have. It looks like ND is going to win this game by 20+ points.

 

[ASweet3781]

Switching over to MSU-Wash permanently. I just can't watch teams that doen't even try on one side of the ball.

 

[SCspur]

Ohio St lack of defensive discipline is completely killing them

 

[HoopsFan21]

Plum with 20 pts now on an off night. Reminds me of Lou's off nights.

 

[ASweet3781]

Bad foul by Plum right before the half.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Been half watching this ND-OSU game..not a lick of defense by either team.

 

[bags27]

Admiring how well ND is playing, given the terrible blow they suffered. They are really gamers....

 

[HuskyFan1125]

The fact that OSU can't take advantage of ND being down a post player just proves to me that the Buckeyes are probably just a sweet sixteen team under McGuff. Absolutely no discipline on defense letting ND have wide open 3's and not taking advantage of their post players. Irish move on and so I'm I. Let's see what Plum is doing!

 

[ASweet3781]

Wow Okafor doesn't even get up the court on that turnover and MSU scores on a put back.

Thinking back to Geno's great players don't get tired comment.

 

[emjay]

I was hoping that OSU would disprove the stereotypes about the B1G teams playing no defense, but sadly - it seems they're playing no defense. Ah, well.

Come on, Washington! It helped when people besides Plum, Osahor and McDonald started scoring...

 

[ASweet3781]

Conditioning a factor in this game, MSU post player destroying Osafor now.

 

[JordyG]

Miss. State/Wash pretty much playing out as I thought and predicted.

 

[Vowelguy]

Admiring how well ND is playing, given the terrible blow they suffered. They are really gamers....

Theyve already played some games wo Turner, and its not like the rrest of the team was chopped liver.

 

[JordyG]

Plum will never, ever quit.

 

[iri10]

The limitations of Washington outside of Plum and Osahor (when she isn't gassed) are pretty apparent in this game. The talent level drops off rather quickly for them.

 

[eebmg]

If Vivians and McGowan play like this, they will be a hard out. Impressed with MSU.
