Just saw it on SECN+
They've moved the benches to the near side at the Hump. Why? Anything to do with Covid?
Or maybe they moved the cameras to the other side.
25-9 first quarter.
This team has the talent to be Final 4. They just need to get their chemistry down. Early but I don't see a big dropoff from previous teams with new coaching staff or players.
SEC Coaches pick MSU #5 in SEC preseason? Yet we are #6 in the nation?? MSU envy by the coaches?
29 point lead at the half. Definitely a mismatch.
Halftime
Miss. State 57
New Orleans 28
JaMya Mingo-Young 11
Jessika Carter 11
Rickea Jackson 7
Sidney Cooks 7
UNO might be the shortest team we will play all year but we still have an uber talented team.
Mingo-Young looks to have taken a step forward. Cooks is impressive. I think Hayes is going to be a fan favorite, she looks like she can be a more talented version of what Dom and Blair were for us.
Might be deepest most talented team we have had. Not much dropoff at all all the way down the bench. We are a tough matchup - inside, outside.
We look good, Mingo is getting better, we are deep!! I kno there is a Covid restriction for fans but for the #6 team in the nation I hoped to see a better turnout

Mingo-Young is a baller. Also, she's a very tough (including mentally), physical, strong, athletic player, and appears to have made that big freshman to sophomore jump. Appears a leader as well. Big game by Jessika Carter (including double double). Also, Rickea Jackson doing Rickea Jackson things. Aliyah Matharu..coming along. Other players made good showings as well...team effort, another good win.
Did we ever figure where #11 Xaria Wiggins is? I thought she was destined to be really good too.
We have a very talented team that has a ton of depth. Our first five is very good. And our second five can play with them especially once Wiggins returns. Rickea is a legit 1st team all American.
At this point, I just want to see this team against big time opponents. I want to see how they respond when they face adversity. That's both on the floor and in the coaches seat. That said, the potential is through the roof. And I really like listening to NMP talk basketball. I am excited about it.
The game Saturday at South Florida should be a good challenge. South Florida has a competitive team and challenged Baylor away from home eventually only losing by 5.
I'm curious if we pick up some non conference games along the way. We've already lost two games and it appears the southern miss game is cancelled too. It would be good to pick up a few more opponents just to get out on the court. NMP said in her postgame it's been rare to have 10 available to even scrimmage. Any game we can play will be a benefit. It sucks crowds will be limited because this team is going to be fun.
