I think 41 points, 7 assists and zero turnovers in an elete 8 is the best ever by a bulldog.

It has to be, including the stakes at hand.
That stat line against freaking Jackson State in November would be one of the all time individual performances at MSU, I would think. And she just did it against a 1-seed in the NCAA tournament. I don't think there is any question that it's the greatest of all time. Greatest in my lifetime, that is for sure.
Given the stage...........it's hard to think of one that would be better. That's an insane stat line if you were playing Grambling at home (yes, that was on purpose). For it to be against a #1 seed in a regional final is just unreal, twilight zone stuff.
She's a Bulldog legend now! She was absolutely clutch! So much fun watching a player step up in the biggest games!
It has to be. Nothing comes close except for Dontae Jones, and he didn't play at the level she did today. We haven't had anyone in football play at that level in a HUGE game either.
One to remember and be heralded for sure. When Richardson and Vivians started driving to the basket, Baylor D cheated and left Mo open, once Mo got on fire, everything she shot fell even if guarded. Good work. Good moves. Created her own space at the end. Carried the team.
She also had a block!
Wasn't Mo a Bammer????

And she has a chance to improve on it... Seasons not over and is just a Jr
This game will go down as one of my cherished memories that I will keep forever.
I wasn't just "one of the greatest in MSU history". It was "the" greatest in NCAA tournament history.

It's the best clutch performance I've seen in my lifetime.
Only game I can even think of is Dontae Jones vs UK in the SEC Championship game. She was unbelieveable.
Given the stakes, only Burke Masters' 6 for 6 performance comes to mind as comparable.
Like the Masters GS call, we will still be watching and talking about her performance 30 years from now.
What makes this team so special is it just isn't any one player that carries the team. Just look at the leading scorer over the last 5 games.
