Whoever is doing PA tonight is doing a really good job. Not bland and boring like we’ve had for the last decade (no disrespect to Jonathan Holmes or Anthony Craven who are both super nice human beings.)

And still with only 1 3 pointer. Wow!!!!

I'm glad we are stomping them. But geez this schedule we should. Comp is beyond brutal. And yes I know Vic did it on purpose. But he went overkill, sec time is going to get here and we will not have played 2 decent teams. Too easy.

We will probably get Stanford the weekend of Thanksgiving. Also can’t help that we scheduled a home and home with Marquette and they aren’t nearly as good this year as they were last year. I will agree that I might have preferred a little bit more challenging schedule, but it’s not that different from most of our schedules under Vic and things have always worked out just fine.

West Virginia and South Florida are both ranked teams. The ladies need to be challenged. Our defense tonight was atrocious.

[tcdog70]

We could manage only 122 tonight.

Miss. State 122
Troy. 82

Well you have to give Troy credit...they didn't ever quit, they are a senior laden team and several of them were here in the 17 tournament....

Girls win big and Vic ain't happy. He is pissed about the transition defense. And not everyone was at the shoot-around, and he's pissed about that. Vic is having to teach some of the newbies about expectations and what it takes to win at this level. Vic won't accept mediocrity. If you want to be average, this ain't the program for you. Girls who hang in with him will learn about effort, toughness, and hard work. They will learn about responsibility. They will learn valuable life lessons. And they will win a crap-load of games in the process.

Transition defense may be an issue with Bibby still dealing with the knee. I want her to take her time and get comfortable with playing live competition with the brace holding her back.

Myah Taylor- stepping up as a team leader...on and off the court. The freshmen, other teammates can learn a lot
from her.

Also, she had 20 points, 7 assists, 5 steals, 3 rebounds, 1 turnover, 25.57 minutes

[NCMSTFAN]

I agree, Myah is stepping up to be what we hoped she could be. She is finishing in the lane, hitting shots and getting her team involved, I hope she continues.
