Have you seen the Geno quote, “..just because you getting the players back doesn’t mean you have the same team?” McCowan’s breakout year was this past year; she didn’t do much her sophomore year. Holmes, Shaeffer, and Johnson only started one year after barely playing the year before. He took all those players and made them a Nat’l runner up two years in a row. The first time they went they also had Dominque Dillingham and Breanna Richardson. Each year they’ve had completely different identities. With Vic being a defensive guy, his teams do a helluva job on offense. Dawn needs to take a page out of his book if you ask me. Yes, she’s beaten him a lot but all of those matchups were won because Miss St seem intimidated by them from my point of view.
I had every expectation that Miss State would be good last year based on who they returned and that turned out to be the case.
I was mildly surprised that they made it back to the title game and nearly won it, but no shock at all they were contenders in the SEC and for the Final Four.
