#7 Lady Dawgs vs #24 Mizzou Game Thread

[TheRef]

Here we go, Ladies and Gentlemen. Your #7 Mississippi State Bulldogs currently stand at 16-1 with a 3-0 SEC record. Who else is excited to watch this game?

[klong-dog]

Watch online, right? Hopefully Mizzou is not on with the 3 ball. They like to jack em up.

Mizzou is a tough team. I know that Vic will have them coached up. Let's just hope they aren't looking towards the weekend too soon.

I forgot her name, but any news on the girl that hit her head last week? Was it Richardson or something like that?

Breanna Richardson is her name. She's not in the starting lineup, but I haven't heard anything past that.

[chainedup_Dawg]

Man, this is a rough start

[TheRef]

Very rough start...we've gotta wake up out there.

[klong-dog]

Other than the opening shot, Vivians is bricking them up. Even ft's.

first game I've watched all year. How do we only have one L? We don't look very good

Don't base your opinion of the team off of this game. This is very similar to last year's Vanderbilt game when we just couldn't hit a shot to save our lives. Mizzou is playing with nothing to lose right now. We haven't lost against Mizzou (granted it's only our 5th meeting all time). The pressure of being undefeated in the conference does become quite heavy.

[TheRef]

13 point lead for the Tigers with 7:32 left in the first half. Defense is starting to clamp down, but Mizzou is throwing up treys like they're nothing.

[TheRef]

20 point lead for Mizzou now...we just can't get anything to hit. It's not our night.

Haha I think you answered your own question.

It ain't happening tonight, never seen us this cold

We clawed our way back to make it halfway decent at halftime. Team starting to find its stroke now.

[Hattdawg]

We are clawing back in it. I think their bogs are getting tired against our bigs.

TMac does that to you. Did you see some of her blocks? BRUTAL

[Hattdawg]

She's massive. We got to control the back door better. They killing us there and out hustling us.

[EdDawg]

I never thought I would become a fan of women's basketball, but this team is exciting to watch.

[TheRef]

Agreed. I think Vic will stress that at halftime. You saw him getting livid out there.

[Hattdawg]

Chapel couldn't throw a rock in the ocean right now. Has been a liability in the offense.

Before tonight, she was a reliable shot. Some nights you have it...some nights you don't.

Also, remember that all it takes is one shot for Victoria Vivians to get going.

[Hattdawg]

Dom needs to get going too. She is usually one of the more consistent players. We are all off Defense and Offense.

At the beginning of the coverage, Mizzou apparently has been putting an emphasis on shutting down Dom and Vivians according to their pre-game speech.

[Hattdawg]

I've watched nearly every game of these girls and this is by far the worst I've seen them play. Hopefully we an buckle down and shoot better in the 2nd half.

Agreed. Easily one of the worst games we've played this season.

[klong-dog]

VV wasn't even close in the first half with most of her shots. Let's hope she gets dialed in this half.

Not much better this half with her shooting. He'll none of them are.

[smootness]

Vivians is our best player, but she can shoot us right out of games, too.

[smootness]

Not a good way to finish that quarter. Need somebody to get really hot, or need about 5 stops in a row, to get back in this.

[Hattdawg]

Lazy lazy effort tonight. Maybe a loss before the tough stretch will wake these girls up.

[trob115]

We look awful. Nobody can hit the broadside of a barn right now for us.

[klong-dog]

Yeah that was painful to watch. Even down low, throwing up some horrendous shots.

[RougeDawg]

Shooting 28% to you opponent's 50% rarely results in a W.

[Offshore Dawg]

Who is the idiot announcer that said the dawgs are wearing burgendy

[smootness]

Watching basketball is so frustrating at times. Why the tallest player on the court ever tries to dribble a loose ball instead of just grabbing it, I'll never understand.

[smootness]

This is some seriously atrocious point-blank shooting.

[Big4Dawg]

Lazy lazy effort tonight. Maybe a loss before the tough stretch will wake these girls up.

I agree - we just look lazy and just throwing up shots

[Hattdawg]

These girls would be running suicide drills as soon as the final horn blows before they loaded the bus.

[Bothrops]

We're never as good as we think, in anything. But this team will win a bunch more games.
