Jazzmun Holmes will be less offensive than Ty Harris, but is a better decision maker and takes better care of the ball. None of the returning Mississippi State guards have shown they can shoot, which might be their downfall like it was for SC. I think Danbury makes strides next year in a more prominent role. Same with Bibby. At the end of the day though, McCowan is an absolute beast and that's the main reason why Mississippi State will still be in the hunt for a Final Four. She changes things on both ends of the court, and there really aren't any players in the country who can compete with her size, strength, and conditioning. She's going to improve in the off season and be even better next year. Combine her inside presence with the athletic quick guards playing perimeter defense, and you'll have one of the best defensive teams in the country once again. Over the last few years we've seen Vic Schaefer develop talent as well as anyone in the country. I think that trend continues, and we'll see much improved play from players who took on more limited roles this past season. South Carolina has talent on the roster, but I think Vic is much better at developing his players than Dawn, and I think he's better and building a strong team where everyone knows her role and plays within herself. I think Mississippi State is still the team to beat in the SEC next year. [/QUOTE]
