Basketball is weird sometimes

M Taylor making shots offensively and Hemingway is on the floor during this stretch lol

It’s like you and I were saying, M Taylor is such a threat offensively. You can only hope to contain her. You can’t stop her offensive explosiveness.

I guess Danberry didn’t have it in this game. She lost minutes.
 
Depth, coaching, and the crowd won this game for us.

The crowd was up in arms over every single play - even plays we goofed at they blamed the refs. Texas A&M just got winded by the crowd. MSU fans are up there with South Carolina and Tennessee fans for massively coming out in full colors.

Coaching because Vic made some adjustments. Vic went as deep as Jayla Hemingway and finally managed some success with the dribble drive that they denied Danberry the entire game. Nobody could've expected Taylor to do a Danberry here but that's exactly what she did. And it's over when a player who normally scores 2-4 points scores 16 points and has 3 steals and probably like 6 forced turnovers, and 2 full court runs all the way down the floor for a hoop.

Wiggins was erratic this game but she did make 2 three pointers..... Vic went with her over Bibby and that was probably the right choice because Wiggins at least drawed iron on her shots.

Also A&M's legs eventually wore out. They don't have any bench players and all of their shots were bricked near the end due to exhausted legs. That's probably why they're so up and down this year. They've beaten who? so far. Got swept by LSU and got knocked out by Kentucky and FSU. Just saying... there's a reason they're merely the #20 or 21 team right now.

I actually think A&M could be worse without Carter. More offense but that overall field goal percentage isn't gonna be 47% with her.

?

miss state is a good team and not somebody you'd like to see in your regional.

this was the pattern today. They seem to be flirting with digging too deep a hole.

I take that comment back after we won.
 
Well, Carolina will have to run the SEC table now to win the league outright. Miss state isn't losing.

Myah Taylor 16 points 6 assists 3 steals 0 turnovers.

State only allowed 20 points in the second half.

Danberry & Bibby was a no show.

MSU is still very capable of losing at Kentucky and at Auburn. I’m very happy we have a week off to get this emotional game and three games in six days behind us.
 
Those criticizing Myah Taylor please go to the back of the line.

She is the reason we won this game. What a great second half by that young lady.

A&M has a tremendous team but they got tired late. With Carter back in their line-up they are really good.

But for now great win for our young Dogs!!!!

What an atmosphere today in the Hump!!!!
 
It's funny seeing Mississippi State and their fans act like they just won the SEC when all they did was beat a very mediocre Carter-less A&M team.

Well do you want fans to act like they are at a funeral? Nobody is acting like we just won the conference but it was a tremendous comeback. Granted A&M was without Carter but they are much better than mediocre.

State is far from an elite team this year but this young group is gradually growing up and today was a definite step up.Never panicked and came from 12 down to win going away is a great confidence boost for the team.

I don't think any MSU fan thinks this, at least not the sane or non trolls. MSU played like trash for a good chunk of the game before finishing the game they had no business losing. SC is clearly the best team in the SEC, and MSU is clearly the 2nd best team in the SEC.

This game had no business being close. A&M is very average team without Carter. Miss St tends to play to level of their opponent instead of playing their own game too much. The holes they put themselves in continuously could bite them down the road though.

They barely hung on to beat Georgia at home and they couldn't even beat LSU after Mitchell went out with injury. Mediocre.

MSU should've won this game by at least 20, but they played their worst half of the season in the first half just to create the need for a comeback. But hey, I guess if it feels good...
 
The broken jump shots of Bibby and AEH is hard to explain. Before Bibby got hurt last year she was deadly from behind the arc and AEH knocked down a lot of threes for the dawgs last season. I thought they would form the splash sisters this season but boy was I wrong. Now that Xaria has proven she can knock down some threes there is absolutely no reason why Bibby should be starting ahead of her anymore because she's a much better ball handler and defensive player than Bibby is. Maybe Bibby should have redshirted this season to make sure she was fully healthy....oh well, that ship has sailed.

Texas A&M is not a mediocre team. no one is claiming the SEC, South Carolina has not lost yet and even if they lose a game they will in all likelihood win the SEC. I claim MSST is a top 10 team and they will be a tough out in the SEC and NCA@ tournaments.

They are the definition of mediocre without Carter. Doesn't take away from MSU being a good team but they didn't play well overall today.

State has struggled in several games but we have found a way to win those games.
The team is still a work in progress.

To just arbitrarily say we should have won this game by 20 really demeans A&M who is still a good team without Carter. They just do not have any depth and got tired as the second half wore on.

With State’s youth you see a team that is inconsistent but is improving as the season moves along.

Mediocre means average, I would not consider any team ranked in the top 25 as mediocre, Texas A&M was ranked 16 and I suspect they will still be in the top 25 even after this loss. I still think a Texas A&M team with Carter is capable of besting most division 1 teams and will also be a tough out in both the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

Haha A&M would have never been in the top 25 if not for Chennedy Carter.
They are a decent team with her. Mediocre without her.
 
Im just happy we won this. Its a feeling of a relief rather than OMG we're so awesome. Some people here likes to rain down on everyone's parade.

Let's just say, sometimes you know you're wrong based on the people who agree with you. Case in point.

But hey, using large font with multiple exclamation points is fun!
