The current gap between MSU and Ole Miss WBB

[MSUDC11]

The biggest gap between the two schools in any sport ever?

I realize WBB has become a way bigger deal here than it is in Oxford, but it’s just unreal to watch the two programs. I don’t know if they would win 5 games in the Sun Belt this year.

It used to be a bigger deal in Oxford than it is now (Van Chancellor years), but WBB overall was not as big of a sports product as it is now.

Unpossible.

Do not say anything to them about this. They are the flagship and excel at everything, especially when compared to MSU.

The gap seems bigger than the gap between the LSU/Alabama tier and Vanderbilt/Arkansas in football

This new Ole Miss coach has come in and recruited very well. They somehow just pulled in 2 5 stars I believe.

Good for them. They’re still not beating us anytime soon.

I wasn’t inferring that whatsoever. Just stated the facts.

The Grove must not be as beautiful for women’s basketball players as it is for Football players.

I think their coach is likable and generally considered a good recruiter. But their roster a mess right now. I guess that’s one advantageous recruiting pitch: “come here and you will start as a true freshman”

No doubt. What is exciting is Vic is stockpiling high end talent now. He will win a Natty here. It’s just a matter of time.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

But imagine how good they’d be if they cheated at WBB...

Oh, wait...

It's hard to imagine any gap between the two being any bigger. They'll probably go 0-16 in the SEC this year. Even back in the day, they weren't quite as good as we are now, but close. 4 Elite 8s and 3 Sweet 16s in 8 years was still strong though.

I mean I won't disagree that things change after a year. But you're comparing a Sweet Sixteen to a Final Four the next.

Which means at the very worst MSU went from the 16th best team to the 2nd.

We're talking about Ole Miss regular season games from which they can't even get to .500

Right. And also important to note that the team that beat UConn returned almost 100% in tact from the previous year while UConn had to replace several stars from what was probably the best team in women’s college basketball history. We got better but UConn also got worse.

Ole Miss will get better than this but we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Not for as long as this freshman and sophomore class are still around at the very least.

Ole Miss had one of their best players tear her ACL before the season and another got kicked off the team in January. Their talent level is low low low right now. Their coach apparently has a good recruiting class coming in next year so that will help.
