Not at this point; if I had to guess, it will be just short of a sellout. If the rain stops there might be good walkup sales.

Like many WBB arenas, they usually only sell-out when the circus is in town. ;)

Toss-up. It is in Columbia, but from what I see Wilson is still nursing that ankle. It could be either team, depending on how far Wilson can go on that ankle. If she is only 70%, MissSt by 5; if she is 80-90%, USC by 5.

I'll say... SC takes down Miss St. by single digits, but I think SC will lead the entire game. This game will be telling for MS - a lot of us think they've been, as another poster put it, "doing it with mirrors" this season and tomorrow night will tell whether or not they're able to really compete with the Top 10. What's Miss State's best win this season anyway?

Mississippi St has only played 1 ranked team, #8 (at the time) Texas. They won 79-68.
 
Although they are ranked ahead of SC, MS ST is probably the underdog in most everyone's mind. I am pulling for the Bulldogs for two reasons: because I like upsets (except when UConn is involved) and because a MS ST win will provide further testimony to the incredible motivation that Vic Schaefer and his team have drawn from the 60 pt demolition at the hands of the Huskies last year.

We were all impressed with Schaefer's comments after the Sweet 16 game in Bridgeport. While he indicated that his team was disappointed he was also absolutely convinced that his team would respond in a positive fashion, and have they ever responded by reeling off 18 straight wins to start the season.
 
I expect SC to win but would not mind if Mississippi St. surprised me. No wonder every one out side of UConn wants us to lose, we do the same thing to all the other top teams. Fans are like that I guess.

Masssey has SC by 8, so I'll go with SC, although Massey doesn't factor in the possibility that Wilson may not be 100%.
 
I will root for the Bulldogs but figure SC will win. Home court advantage and I do think their roster is more talented but I am hopeful for a good showing by MSU.
 
South Carolina. If it was a home game for Mississippi State, I might be convinced to pick them. But they're not.

You don't say, lol....

The irony here is that Mississippi State is the undefeated and higher ranked team.
 
I'd be surprised if Miss State can keep the loss to under 10 points. Having said that..

Miss State is the only top team (I believe) who brings back all 5 starters from last year. Most other top teams lost some good/great talent to graduation. Having said that, SC needs to play a cohesive game - not have Davis shoot them out of the win. If Davis can control herself and take good shots, and Cuevas can play under control, it should be SC by about 12-15.

Then again, MSU hangs their hat on defense and has 5 starters who are exceptionally cohesive. I think their offense sputters more often than it should for a top team, but if their defense can frustrate SC offensively, it could be interesting.

I call it a dead heat also. Home court advantage is cancelled out if Wilson is not 100%, Coates neutralized by MSS bigs, and K. Davis continues her slump. MSS William is a sneaky PG who can drop 20 on you, even at 5'3"
.
 
I'm going to go against the grain (and conventional wisdom) on this one. Carnac sez...........Mississippi State by 8. :cool:
 
I think State wins if the SC guards struggle.
 
SC should win with their size inside, but has been said, their guards need to play well. If MS can pressure the SC guards and force turnovers while scoring efficiently themselves, it could be a long night for the Gamecocks. It will be a fun game to watch.

At 3:30 p.m. the line is South Carolina by 6½. However, remember Notre Dame and Tennessee last week? :eek:

It makes sense to hope for a Top 3 team to come to CT. So SC I will root for. Probably watch some of it in between Duke & NC State. Try and give the women's program more of my attention for the first time in my life. :)
 
Well with 30 minutes till game time the line has moved to SC by 7½.

The crowd and the money are on the gamecocks.

Enjoy.

Thanks; it is a good crowd, but a little short of a sellout.
