Message: [QUOTE="blacklisted, post: 2588078, member: 8651"] In 2016, Miss State was something like 7 for 41 through the first 3 quarters, including numerous missed layups. That was a bad combination of UConn being much better AND Miss State playing far worse than we have ever played. While UConn can take credit for causing a lot of missed shots, it can't reasonably be argued that 7-for-41 happens if Miss State doesn't also play poorly beyond what UConn caused. Don't think anyone should use 2016 as a barometer of what to expect from Miss State. Games like that happen sometimes...maybe not to UConn, but it has happened to some of the best teams in multiple sports over the years. 2016 was UConn being the best team in the country by far, and Miss State being not as good, but also playing as bad as we could possibly play.
