Shaeffer says Miss State Will be Great

[RockyMTblue2]

Can Mississippi State's women's basketball team do it again?

“We have to understand that we need to rebuild every year,” Blair Schaefer said. “We are still rebuilding right now and we are going to be a great team, but we have to find that chemistry again.”

Team and potential line ups discussed.

If coach Shaefer wants his players to learn chemistry then he should have them,along with all the other athletes in the less-e-c go to class once in a while.

Miss St won't surprise UConn next year if they meet in the tournament. What really helped Miss St last year they had more depth. They played 10 players vs UConn's 7.

A huge difference this year is Azura' Stevens replaces Natalie Butler in the UConn lineup. I doubt Azura' only plays 6 minutes and score 0 points. They also won't hold Napheesa to 11 points like last year.

I'm sure the players would say Bring On Miss St.

I'm sure most of us would say bring 'em on, too. Personally I dream of a rematch! It would not end well for Mississippi State. Don't get me wrong, I think they'll be better than they were last year. That will still leave them somewhere short of being "great" though.

I still think their real goal for this year should be to finally start beating South Carolina and win the SEC championship. This is looking like a good year for that, and that's the yardstick I'll measure them by.

And Morgan William will return to earth

Schaefer's just a cheerleader w/out pom-poms. He spent more time on the court in the upset of UConn than many of his players. The guy looked borderline nuts--reminded me of the rip-off-the-jacket looney from TX. A coach should encourage his players w/in reason; Vic's delusional. The game was a fluke, fella, get over it.

You’re being generous when you indicate UConn played 7 players. Danger was on the court for 17 minutes. Her stat line: 1pt, 2rbs, 1a, 2 to’s. Nat played 6 minutes and was only credited with a foul & 2 to’s.

This year, I’m perfectly happy with a 7 player rotation for the Huskies made up of last season’s 4 returning starters, a vastly improved Danger, Z and super freshman MW.

Yup. But Vic's a good guy.

He thinks his team will be great. Good for him, and I hope they are. He seems like a cool cat. I wouldn't mind a rematch, but how could his team "surprise" UCONN when that same team beat Baylor a week before and Geno had a week to prepare?

 

[huskeynut]

I like Vic. Its okay to promote your team after the year they had. A rematch with us would have to occur in the tournament. I don't think Vic really wants that game.

 

[eebmg]

He is a very good tactical and emotional coach who has built a strong program from a floundering one. I see his program being in the top 10 at least and fighting for first place in the SEC with SC for the foreseeable future .

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think Vic was on the court a lot because he saw that they had a chance if they stuck to the game plan very closely. I just saw it as him managing the game very tightly.

Geno was not surprised. Geno did not have a week to prepare. Other than that great insight as always.

In his interview he hedged his bet by saying---we graduated 4 seniors.

Miss. State deserves the attention they received from last years win! They played their A game and Uconn played their D game! If they play this year it wont be close. A 2 pt. loss in OT to the Huskies is equivelent to a 60 pt. loss to the Bulldogs!

Vic is just talking up his team. He should be thanking the ground that Morgan William walks on. Her entire team went cold. Yet she put the team on her back and scored 41 against Baylor. Her shot against Uconn is iconic but her performance against Baylor was the truly legendary feat.

Miss. St. should not want to see any parts of this year's team. Gabby will shut Morgan down.
