I think for LSU to win this it’s going to be because our post players take over. That’s the advantage LSU has right now. Not convinced we have enough fire power to win this one on the road unless our guards make outside shots.

LSU also has to take care of the ball. We get a little careless at times with it. State will definitely make us pay if we do

Feeling good about this game but I felt the same about W Virginia. Guess we need to be ready but I predict double digit win.

It's winnable but will take a 40 minute effort. We have more talent, can we play like it an entire game? Right now this team does okay at times but falls into lulls they can't afford to do against more talented teams. I also hope they aren't looking ahead to SC.

Relax, as stated in numerous posts, the team still won by 10, they are still on break without a scheduled routine of classes and other friends to think about instead of solely basketball and coaches. They will do fine...oh wait, you're not talking about UConn but MSU? Sorry about that, but, hey yeah, the same analysis applies...:rolleyes:

LOL. Well MSU isn't in the class with UConn yet safe to say the expectations of our fans have grown quickly, myself included. I know we are very young and not a top 10 team but I am hoping for a top 3 SEC finish and possibly host the first two rounds of the tournament due to our overall record and achievement. That means beating the teams we should and that includes LSU, but we don't have the same margin for error as years past.

I'm worried about our rebounding against LSU. How is LSU's rebounding?

Depends on which LSU team shows up. They can be really good or lazy at times. Mitchell is as good a rebounder as there is out there, well given her size. Aifuwa is 6-5 but she can disappear at times. We usually rely on second chance opportunities and creating turnovers for our scoring.

You are a Top 10 team.

It's possible LSU could make this a fight if UGA could, but I would guess Miss State will win comfortably enough at home.

I love Mitchell but she has to be the worst free throw shooter in women college basketball I have ever seen


Best I have seen AEH all year so far

Those were two awful FTs from Mitchell. Didn’t even give them a chance to go in. I really like Tiara Young. I think she’s going to be really good.

Both teams playing well so far. I think depth of MSU will end up proving to be the difference once again,.

Both teams don't believe in taking care of the ball so far

Does LSU even practice free throws? my god

This could get ugly

Matharu is killing us

Mitchell carrying us, except at the free throw line :D

Will WNBA teams draft Mitchell if she can't make free throws?

I wouldn't. Mitchell is a great college player. Superb rebounding but she lacks a lot of things needed to compete in the WNBA

Miss st up 34-22 at half time

R. Jackson struggled a bit but Matharu has been money off the bench. We can't stop turning the ball over.

This is what LSU is prone to at times. Going cold for a long stretch of time.

It's easy to see why we're leading by double digits. We have 8 or 9 players all contributing something. LSU has 2 or 3.

Depth wins games, but not quite enough to win a championship.
