Did not realize they hired him. That’s a dang good hire. Their offense is impressive in the early going. They are also triple teaming McCowan so we are going to have to make some outside shots.

22-20 MSU after 1Q, Arky much better than under Dykes. Doubt they can maintain that kind of O against us, we shall see.

Arkansas can’t miss. We will probably pull away in the second half, but they are giving us all we can handle right now.

We need her tonight so Morgan's got 12. Can't ever remember a player who can turn it on and off as needed like her. She is a great great PG.

The Girls Bouncy-ball game seems a lot better than Mens' Basketball

The refs let them play. Also, the girls know how to make a free throw- I think that's because the girls aren't infected with the AAU-itis, which emphasizes highlight plays and not team play, defense, diving for balls, or standing there after running gassers and shooting 100 free throws.

I may be way off base, but I think one reason they make free throws better is that they're shorter and have to put an arc on the ball. The men are so tall with huge wing spans that most of them are releasing the ball at about hoop height so the shot goes in flat. Plus, the men don't really seem to care about making them.

49-39 at Half. Morgan with 18 on 8-11 shooting. Blair 11 and VV 10.

Big T with only 4. That will change in 2nd Half.

13 Assists and 1 TO for State. That is UConn level good. Arky played as good as they can and we are still up 10.

Somebody needs to put it in their fat heads that the only two people in basketball history who could get away with being ****** free throwers were Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O'Neal, and that's because they were 7'2" monsters who could move.

One would think that basketball players might want an edge in becoming a pro basketball player- and having a 90% FT might be the difference between bagging groceries at Kroger, and putting your wife on the Charter jet and your girlfriend(s) on Commercial traveling as an NBA player.

Yeah, but they're girls and their hands are smaller. ;) I'm actually surprised the goal's not a bit lower ... or the men's higher.

Sure, but a smaller ball has an easier time going through a hoop than a bigger one through the same hoop.

62-49 with 5 to go in 3Q. We can't put it away, both teams playing at a high level offensively. Vic ain't happy with the D.

We are an unbelievably good offensive basketball team. So many weapons. Vivians has really elevated her game.

If you look at men’s and women’s basketball overall, free throw shooting statistics are similar. MSU women happen to be a good free throw shooting team while the men happen to be mediocre.

Danberry is going to be a big part of our team next year after we graduate 4 starters from this team.

I know we lose a lot from a team that should contend for NC this year, but Vic has built a program. Fully expect us to be a Top 20 type team for years to come.

Nick, is that you? Seriously, I think we have been fooled. Apparently, Saban just got bored of coaching only football and took up women's basketball.
