Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 4799310, member: 9841"] Mississippi State beat Clemson 81-78 in the opening game of the Van Chancellor Classic. MSU moves to 6-0 with a couple of close wins at Belmont and this one. We still have a long way to go but I like how we lock down at the end of the close ones. In my opinion having the transfers find their respective roles is an ongoing process. We don’t look comfortable right now. Right now our best five on the court is J Carter, D Powe, D Rogers, J Jordan and L Park-Lane. E Barnum isn’t looking as comfortable guarding the quicker fours. D Rogers helps spread the floor and can score from all three levels. She is a long defender and had 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 0 turnovers tonight. Regardless Barnum will figure it out. She is way too talented and determined. This team will look a lot different as the season progresses. Few other observations from tonight. We had five in double figures scoring: Jordan 24, Carter 12, Park-Lane 11, Powe 11 and Rogers 10. Park-Lane had a double double with 11 points and 10 assists (2 turnovers and 1 steal). We outscored them 19-5 off turnovers and 10-4 with second chance points with a 13-5 offensive rebounding edge. In contrast we were only 15-26 on layups to their 14-19. They also shot 56% overall and 46% from the perimeter. Both stats are terrible and have to get better. [/QUOTE]
