Miss. State plays at home vs. Oregon this week. They have a strong 6'4 post that is avg. 16 pts a game and 8.8 rebounds a game. It will be interesting to see how they play. It should be a good game.
I personally don't think Miss. State has enough man power to slow our starting 5. I keep going back to the Davis / Caron-Goudreau (6'4) match up with Texas. Davis wasn't on her A game but still was able to drive past CG at will when she had an open lane and score a couple times. If Davis, Nared, Russell, and at least one guard are clicking on all cylinders when we play Miss. State, we win this game. Heck, we pose a nightmare to any team as long as we have 4 offensive weapons on the court at one time.
Can someone break down Ms St? What makes them an elite team? I have not seen them play this year.
Not really sure Ms St is elite, their schedule is not the toughest. Obviously an elite pointguard in William and an elite scoring in Vivians who I think is actually playing out of position due to no depth at the 4, 67 post player but after that not much.
No rankings don't, but we just beat the number 2 team, we are undefeated, ranked 7th and it is an absolute we will only get better as season goes along! Every win makes it that much harder for our future opponents. A team that believes in its leaders who know what it takes in the SEC and freshman who don't know they should be watching and learning as freshman are learning and growing on the court! Be afraid, be very afraid this team could be legends!I agree on #1 and #2. It's pretty clouded after that for me. What I've seen so far is a lot of work needs to be done by a lot of the next teams. Who excels at the work will move up although I'm not sure #1 and # 2 will get displaced this season. But, Rankings don't decide who cuts down the nets at the NC game a fact Vic Shaeffer reminded us of last season
I believe that without a doubt our starting five is better than MSUs starting five. McCowan will have a difficult time dealing with Russells post moves. She appears to be stronger than Russell but Russells athleticism should make the difference.
