The regular season undefeated title is the one people will be talking about forever.
We still have a goal to hit.

Jesus some of you people are 17ing stupid.
They just went undefeated in the regular season and lost in the tournament championship game to the team that is the worst matchup problem for them.

If there was one phrase I could banish it would be "we are Mississippi State" or "most Mississippi State thing ever"
I keep hearing over and over that SC is a match up problem for us. Are they the only team we play that’s a matchup problem? We beat them a few weeks back. Evien if they are a matchup problem then that should have been fixed. We better tighten our buckles up if we want to play UConn again.
The matchup problem is their length at all 5 positions. Stifles ball movement and makes it difficult to get open looks with Blair and Mo being on the small side, and McCowan is big but too slow to keep up with A’ja or out maneuver her offensively. Teams with bigger guards and/or smaller and quicker post players can and have given them problems. It just so happens that they are tailor made from a personnel standpoint to beat us consistently. Even in the game earlier this year, they only shot 38% and had a ton of turnovers, and we still only won by 12 (less than half of our average margin on the season) after having to come from behind on a couple of occasions. It was definitely no picnic even in Starkville.

The regular season title and the undefeated record will be the hard one for someone else to do. Tenn was the last almost 20 years ago.
Somebody will win the SEC Tourney next year no matter what.
If THAT is "we are miss state" it is pretty 17ing good.
Disagree that the game means nothing... it was the SEC Championship game..... is it the end of the world .... no..... but is was a big game. Congrats to the team for a great year. Looking forward to watching them the rest of the year.
Now on to the NCAA tournament!

No. It was the SEC tournament championship game. It's ultimately a meaningless tournament, but it would have been nice to keep the undefeated season going. Truth is, we really didn't play well all weekend, we were just so much better than UK and A&M that it didn't matter.
I disagree. WE will be talking about the undefeated regular season and conference title, but others will (and did) mention SC winning 4 straight tournaments. In basketball, tournaments mean a lot. They are your last memories of the teams. Some teams play better in a "one and done" pressure format. I would put South Carolina in that category.
We are "not Marshall"
That phrase was started by Marshall and everyone is copying it. The only one I recognize is Marshall after the death of their players.
