Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 4780731, member: 9841"] Mississippi State beat up on Alcorn State as expected and all eleven available players played in the first quarter. First, the renovations to Humphrey Coliseum look great. I like the student area with the DJ. It adds a lot to the atmosphere to have them in that area. The club suite is really nice and it helps with some of the older fans being able to go up to the food area and graze and visit when desired. Most of the fans in their club seats were engaged. Our starting five is exceptional. All are talented, mature and play within themselves. E Barnum looks like a completely different player in this system and alongside true post players. She is such a unique talent and has great size. She moves so well without the ball and is efficient in her scoring. She was fine guarding the four position. I also like her physical post play. We will really need that this season. D Rogers, M Sheppard, and D Brown-Hagger all seemed to be pressing instead of letting the game come to them. I get the nerves but we will need them as the season progresses. Ball handling against a decent press could hurt us bad. Right now we have one exceptional ball handler. A Johnson would have been the perfect addition to this team. I was pleasantly surprised by our three forward subs. Q Montague, N Gony and especially R Parker were all adds in their time played. R Parker is a very versatile player and Q Montague is a large human being that moves much better than I expected. However she looks like she needs a year in the strength and conditioning program. I’m sure the turnovers will lessen as the rotation tightens and there aren’t the mass substitutions. [/QUOTE]
