Been waiting for this game since last February

 

[Plebe]

Colonial Life Arena is gonna be en fuego for this one. Major grudge match. The UFC should be co-branding this one.

[DefenseBB]

Robin wants her team to be the toughest, hardest team to play, unfortunately that verges on dirty. There is ZERO chance something doesn’t happen during this game in SC. Her team can’t help itself, it was it is.

 

[Plebe]

Is Sophie Cunningham a dirty player? It’s not just South Carolina asking anymore

 

[Shades]

I’d say the opinions of the analysts are much more unbiased than the South Carolina players or alum.

A’ja Wilson even threw some shade at McCowan after her monster block of a Cooper drive that ended in a very slight stare down that Cooper didn’t even notice, saying she’s never needed to do that. Somehow I doubt Wilson has always been a total angel.

Cunningham has defended herself as a “blue-collar” and “gritty” player, claiming she doesn’t care whether people think she’s dirty or not.

That's what dirty players say

There was talk of teams possibly meeting beforehand to get to know each other a bit, ease tension.

Right. "So Sophie, so you're actually not gonna kick us or hit us or scratch us?"

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

I'm ready!

 

[Bigboote]

I can’t believe this wasn’t in the list of the 15 best remaining games that was posted a few days ago. In entertainment value, it’s gotta be #1.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Big game in the SEC.

Winner has the inside track at #2 seed and stays in the race for the title as each has one more date with Miss State.

but doesn't look like Miss State is likely to be pushed too much. So both teams pretty much have to run the table to stay in it.

We’ll have to see how MSST does without Bibby. That loss could make the SEC competitive at the top.

I probably should think of that as more of a blow than I do.

Teams that can play TM a little bit more straight up or who do a better job collapsing the defense around her than South Carolina did probably do have a better shot now.

I think that the role player will ultimately be what fails Miss State in the tournament, but I suppose it does look like a wide open year.

I'm just not sure anyone in the SEC really has the juice to do it.

Carolina has a month or so to figure out how not to give up a 25 and 25 at home, but I think it's Miss State's league this year.

 

[DefenseBB]

I have to say, SC has impressed me with their last two games. Tonight at home is good for them and will tell us how well their new cohesion has taken. Will Sophie shine or wilt? One thing for sure, she will have 3, 4 or 5 fouls but will they help or hurt Mizzou...I can't wait despite the fact I have to travel during the game. I may have to pull over to check in!

Going to be doing some channel surfing with the TN /AK game on SEC channel. I expect a separate thread to open up for that game.

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm really anticipating the South Carolina game. Gotta check in on the Vols though, if nothing more than curiosity to see if they can win a game. I think South Carolina wins tonight. They're at home, and they are playing well.

I'm sure Sophie will have a good game, but they will need more than just her.

 

[Shades]

Defensive battle so far. 9-3 SC with 5:35 left in first.

 

[DeeHusky]

SC has definitely improved

 

[MSUFan2003]

Mizzou looking rough.

 

[Plebe]

South Carolina is turning Mizzou over and converting into points. Cuevas-Moore already has three 3's and two steals.

 

[DallasBUFan]

I mean SC looks better and better. Dawn doing a great job on turning this team around.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Arkansas currently leads Tennessee 20-15

Could they make it 5 losses in a row for the vols?


Dawn has done a great job getting these girls turned around, I'm impressed

 

[triaddukefan]

The Chickens might be a dangerous squad in March
