Big women's game tonight with South Carolina

[RocketDawg]

They're not as strong as recent years, but it'll still be nice to beat Dawn Staley. I hope there's not a Super Bowl going on while she's in town ....

[Leeshouldveflanked]

She’s an Eagles fan.... so she’s out of it.

[ScoobaDawg]

Destroy them. win by 20+

[LC Dawg]

She’s an Eagles fan.... so she’s out of it.

Someone needs to walk behind the SC bench and do a Who Dat cheer.

[Dawg2003]

They are not a team to take lightly. I'm interested to see how this turns out. We could be vulnerable to their transition game if they get that rolling. We definitely need to win this if we want to win the SEC because we have to play them again.

[Dawgology]

Sweep the leg

[starkvegasdawg]

Sweep the leg

You should have clarified not Bibby.

[LC Dawg]

Losing Bibby is a huge blow. Looks bad.

[RocketDawg]

Losing Bibby is a huge blow. Looks bad.

Yes, didn't look good, but I'll bet she's back in before long.

[JoseBrown]

Yes, didn't look good, but I'll bet she's back in before long.

Man, I hope you're right. But my prognosis from a long way away isn't as good.

[RocketDawg]

This upcoming Technical ... I didn't see anything wrong by either player.

[starkvegasdawg]

Yes, didn't look good, but I'll bet she's back in before long.

Not returning tonight.

[Dawg2003]

Worried that might be an ACL with Bibby. Looked bad.

[RocketDawg]

Not returning tonight.

Remember when Nick Weatherspoon went down last year? He looked just as bad and came back in. We can hope.

[RocketDawg]

Teira is 6-7, 285? I don't think I've ever heard them mention a woman athlete's weight before.

[BeardoMSU]

Teira is 6-7, 285? I don't think I've ever heard them mention a woman athlete's weight before.

I thought that was interesting too.

Btw, Jarvis was 6'8 or 9" and only 240ish as a senior.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Teira is 6-7, 285? I don't think I've ever heard them mention a woman athlete's weight before.

Not a chance in the world she's 285. Holman is 4 inches taller and 225lbs.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

We look good on offense, largely thanks to T and Howard crushing the glass. But we aren't doing good on D. We've let them get several easy baskets and generally don't get ready quick enough. I like our press though

[RocketDawg]

Not a chance in the world she's 285. Holman is 4 inches taller and 225lbs.

He's pretty skinny though. Tiera's upper leg is as big as my waist. But I agree ... I don't think she's that heavy.

[RocketDawg]

And now Howard is out for a while. 3 big fouls, and the last two not really necessary.

[LC Dawg]

The last foul for Howard was bullshit.

[Dawg2003]

Well this has gone from bad to worse.

[Cooterpoot]

Refs are dominating tonight

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

He's pretty skinny though. Tiera's upper leg is as big as my waist. But I agree ... I don't think she's that heavy.

On our mens roster the heaviest player is Tshiumpa at 260. Perry is 245 and he's 3 inches taller than T and war more ripped. Woodard his T's height and he's 230 with a lot more definition and a broader frame than T

[RocketDawg]

Man, I hope you're right. But my prognosis from a long way away isn't as good.


Losing Bibby is a huge blow. Looks bad.


Not returning tonight.

Yeah, you guys were right. And that's a big blow with Howard having 3 fouls. We've come back from 6 down ... or had, now it's 5 again ... but not having Howard is huge.

[Dawg2003]

The young uns are stepping up so far.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

The last foul on Howard was BS. The replay showed 0 force was applied at all, Howard had her arms out to feel if her man made a break, not to hold her up. Ref was staring her down the entire time expecting a foul, and so that's what she saw.

Other than that, SC can't miss any shot and we're helping them. We can't keep up with their speed, either driving the basket or ball movement we looked panicked and they get wide open looks.

I expect Vic to make defensive adjustments at the half, but SC can't adjust to T or Howard. I think we pull out a double digit lead going into the 4th and hover there till the end

[Bdawg]

I see Vic went to a zone to change some things and it's halted the 3 ball

[Cooterpoot]

Taylor gave us a boost. Looks like Bibby is done for season.

[RocketDawg]

5 point lead at the half. Not bad at all.

[Bdawg]

I believe that's a 14-4 run since going zone. Nice adjustments coach.
Also seeing Vic at halftime just shows how much that guy really cares and how proud it makes me to have him representing our university!!

[RocketDawg]

Taylor gave us a boost. Looks like Bibby is done for season.

Did they say what Bibby's diagnosis is? Vic must've heard that it's bad.

[Bdawg]

I missed it. Was it that obvious for the season? What exactly happened?

[DawgRockur]

What did Vic say at halftime about Bibby?

[Cooterpoot]

Being told likely torn up the knee and done. Obviously she’ll have it checked out but they’re saying it’s not good.

[Dawg2003]

Did they say what Bibby's diagnosis is? Vic must've heard that it's bad.

I'm thinking an ACL because she twisted her knee going down. It's bad enough that she didn't come to sit on the bench for the rest of the game.

[maroonmania]

Being told likely torn up the knee and done. Obviously she’ll have it checked out but they’re saying it’s not good.

Boy, that significantly lowers expectations for what this team can do this year. Pretty big dropoff on this team after the starting 5.

[LC Dawg]

Vic obviously thinks Bibby is out for the year. I hate it for her.

[shoeless joe]

Does cooper have a 5 o'clock shadow?

[BuckyIsAB****]

We are athletic and tough (at times) but with no 3 pt shooting puts a ceiling on this group

[RocketDawg]

Does cooper have a 5 o'clock shadow?

Needs one of those magic laser things that's on the infomercials.

[Dawgology]

You should have clarified not Bibby.

Yeah just getting in from work. Kinda feel like that one is on me. My bad...

[Cooterpoot]

Holmes is slow defending

[maroonmania]

We are athletic and tough (at times) but with no 3 pt shooting puts a ceiling on this group

Yep, just no way to replace Bibby's 3 point shooting.

[Cooterpoot]

Refs still dominating this game.

[Bdawg]

We are athletic and tough (at times) but with no 3 pt shooting puts a ceiling on this group

Yeah, Bibby seemed to be our only threat at 3. That's really hurts unless somebody steps I don't know about because I haven't seen another threat from 3 this year.

[RocketDawg]

Let's just hope Anriel Howard doesn't foul out.

[Bdawg]

What did Vic say at halftime about Bibby?


Coach was really choked up about losing Bibby. So it seems it may be a while. He said it's going to be a distraction because we are only human and he feels so bad for her because of how hard she worked.

[Saltydog]

was suspect anyway and now with Bibby gone, this team will is in trouble.

[shoeless joe]

How long has Nancy pelosi been an ass. coach for the cocks?

[Cooterpoot]

Worst 3 pt shooting team in SEC can’t miss tonight.

[RocketDawg]

Worst 3 pt shooting team in SEC can’t miss tonight.

And we haven't been able to make anything in the last few minutes.

[RocketDawg]

Is it a full house tonight, or just look like it on television? They never show the upper level.

[Scared_Hitless]

Danberry is becoming very consistent from mid range.

[Cooterpoot]

Lotta bad juju tonight

[Scared_Hitless]

Good lord the are hitting everything

[RocketDawg]

Danberry is becoming very consistent from mid range.

Yeah, she's played well lately. I think she made our first 6 points tonight.

[Irondawg]

This looks a lot like the men’s OM game last week. We are not playing good transition D and then SC is shooting very well from 3 and getting a few lucky shots

[RocketDawg]

Never heard of them changing who the foul was on several minutes after it happened.

[PendingTransaction]

Scott will have to grow up fast. And Espinoza-Hunter will have to step up her game.

[Irondawg]

Wow didn’t realize SC was 10-15 from 3. Surprised we are actually leading.

[Irondawg]

Howard is a beast tonight and Hunter with a big 3

[Dawg2003]

These kids are stepping up big time.

[Scared_Hitless]

This years team is gritty as hell no quit.

[maroonmania]

AEH with a big 3. Maybe she can come on and help replace some of Bibby's 3 point shooting.

[Dawgology]

They leave it all on the court win or lose.

[CadaverDawg]

Score? Time?

[Scared_Hitless]

78-70 us 4:23 left

[Lord McBuckethead]

Then Vic changed the entire game by stopping the pointless nonstop full court press and going zone. That was the correct call against a team shredding you with transition offense.

[Irondawg]

Yep they were scorching us when we were pressing

[RocketDawg]

Very impressive win.

[Scared_Hitless]

We are very good they cant play any better and are going to lose handily

[BrunswickDawg]

Nothing much better than kicking USC and Staley's ass!

[LC Dawg]

Awesome win by our women. Lots of heart and determination.

[Dawg2003]

Pretty damn impressive. Thought we were done when Howard got her 3rd foul before halftime. The bench stepped up, and Vic made the necessary adjustments.

[mparkerfd20]

Color me shocked Vic went zone. It worked too like many of us on here said it would.

[LC Dawg]

20 points from the bench. Even bigger was that the younger players didn't make a lot of mistakes.

[Pit Bull]

Wow didn’t realize SC was 10-15 from 3. Surprised we are actually leading.

I almost cant remembering them missing in the first half.....EVERYTHING was going in. Yes, surprised we weren't down by double digits.

[Pit Bull]

Color me shocked Vic went zone. It worked too like many of us on here said it would.

He pretty much had to with Bibby gone. And then Howard got into foul trouble. Had to protect her.

[notsofarawaydawg]

Wish all you sonz of a bidches who constantly criticize and doubt our coach and players would show up here after a win and congratulate the team. I guess you don't want to eat that crow. **** YOU !!
