I’m not sure that’s a good move. They have a double digit lead.

I wasn't too sure either. They tried to get that third on her. Active game. Both teams playing tough, but pretty sloppy. State's outside shooting has been bad.
 
As bad as we played, surprised how we lost the 2nd quarter only 16-15. Bibby's been missing her 3s, and McCowan looks like she's got some ants in her shorts lately.

Still... Kentucky took a lot of risks trying to force turnovers on us in the 2nd half. Don't know if they'll be able to keep that type of game up. That type of game only really lasts one quarter as effectively.

I think they were trying to get traction with T out. Really a missed opportunity not to get it into single digits.

Dogs killing them on the boards 27-12 even with T sitting 9 minutes.

McCowan out with 4 at 3Q media. She probably sits for 10 minutes. Should be interesting. 55-42.
 
I can’t believe Vic Schaefer tried to compare Jessica Carter to thee A’JA WILSON!!! That’s one of the longest REACHES I’ve ever seen lol.
 
Since nobody else can make a 3 Anriel just does that too.

64-49 going to the 4th. I think State could beat UK without T. That makes me happy.

She apparently heard you. Thx for that.
 
73-56 with 7 left. T back in. Stretched lead 5 while she sat.

UK with serious foul trouble.

AEH doesn't see the floor against any kind of decent competition. Which is odd because media scolds told us how free she was at her new school and away from mean ole Geno.

You could've had a chance against Baylor with AEH. Especially since Walker was off. AEH could've dropped some key buckets in and swinged the score a little bit.

I was just commenting that she scored a quick 4 after your post.

Of course I don't think she's A'ja level, but I have little doubt she's going to be a very good player for us.

I really don't get the animosity many on this board have towards Andi. It's borderline obsessive and meanspirited.

She'll play and get better and seems to be a nice young lady.

It’s not animosity. That’s how some here talk about UConn players, too

Yeah, I'm not feeling this statement at all. We were bad from 3 today and she didn't hit the floor tonight. She going to be fine, but not ready for top level games.

AEH shot 36.4% from the three and 38.5% overall in the 7 games she played at UConn. She would not have been a key player here

I just meant you had Camara and Coombs in because there weren't a lot of bench choices to go to. If AEH came in, and gave them just a little bit of spark by hitting a few shots, it could've went down the stretch a little closer, but instead Baylor made you play from behind most of the game.

Not saying AEH is gonna be a huge game changer.


And... Samuelson, Walker, and Dangerfield are shooting close to that same 3-point percentage as AEH. Collier is shooting much worse... 22.2%

Wait, wut? Are you seriously comparing the shooting % of a player who plays mostly against cupcakes or at garbage time or not at all with the shooting %s of UConn starters? You can not be serious.

Of course she would not have played. Her shooting %s right now are the same as they were for UConn. The truth is Andi is not a good basketball player. She doesn't handle the ball well, she doesn't help her teammates score, she doesn't rebound and she doesn't defend all that well. She likes to shoot, especially 3-pointers. She has the reputation as a good shooter. I'm not sure where that reputation comes from but it's there. There's a reason she didn't play much at UConn as a freshman and there's a reason she doesn't play much at Miss State. She has work to do.
 
Quick summary...

86-71 Final. Largest lead was 83-62.

UK played agressively and turned MSU over a lot (24), but also turned it over a lot (22) and committed a lot of fouls (25) of aggression. State was 21-25 from the line.

Dogs dominated the boards 48-24. Impressive since Big T sat for 18 minutes with foul trouble.

All starters contributed significantly and Jess Carter and Bre Scott played significant minutes.

Anriel with 21 & 12.

T with 13 & 10.

Danberry continues to impress with 17 pts and 5 assists.

Bibby was off from 3, but battled her way to 18 & 7.

Jazz was looser with the ball than she has been (credit UK), but stuffed the stat sheet with 8P, 6R, 5A, 6S &1B.

For UK, Morris with 20 was strong despite foul trouble and frosh Howard started slow, but is a very impressive freshman who also filled up the sheet with 15P, 5R, 4A, 6S & 2B.

Exciting game and solid win for MSU vs one of the best teams on our schedule.

If you mean my post--I don't know if you do--there is no animosity. Simply pointing out a fact about her playing time and the poor conclusions made by some in the press after her transfer.

Actually, no. The poster replying was comparing her stats LAST YEAR while playing at UConn, so you need to read more carefully. She played on the same team against the same opponents as those girls I named.

Yes, and she played sparingly, when games were out of reach or not at all against good teams. My point stands. It's a ridiculous comparison.

And yet the same UConn players were all playing those same scrubs last year. All I'm saying is that she could've helped vs Baylor. COULD'VE. not would've. I'm not saying those measly stats make her someone Geno should give 20 minutes to. Just that her potential looked promising.

But no.... I'm far from touting her as a MSU stud or anything. Just saying she has promise and could've helped vs Baylor. But no, she's not nearly ready yet for high Division 1 competition. In fact, our 6th man is Bre'Amber Scott. She's more ready than AEH. She got great minutes against Marquette and her shooting percentages are high on all fronts, and her physicality far surpasses AEH's.

No they weren't playing the same scrubs. You actually compared AEH's stats with those of Samuelson, Collier and Dangerfield. She would have been glued to the bench against Baylor just like she's been glued to the bench for Miss State against teams not nearly as good as Baylor. We're done here.

Not sure she'd be glued to the bench against Baylor if Coombs and Camara got minutes. Geno was looking for someone else to turn to other than Williams and Walker and he ended up putting Coombs and Camara in. AEH would've been the #6 or #7 player on the team had she stayed and she surely could've gotten the chance to play some if she weren't that far down the depth chart.

I compared her stats to those girls to suggest that that's not so bad. It's a minor point. We're done with that nitpicking, agreed.
