This game is an awesome story IMO. South Carolina beat us during regular season and snatched away the conference title we had been eyeballing. We've been playing hot during postseason and did the unthinkable and put an end to UConn's reign of terror. MSU will be seeking revenge but may also be hotheaded and arrogant due to recent success. South Carolina also has a lot to prove due to getting their asses handed to them on a national stage by Gonzaga in the men's tournament. They're going to feel a need to make up for that.
Should be a great game, but I stand by my bracket.
100 - 2 Dawgs win.

I wouldn't mind either team winning but MSU winning would be a great story after they ended that 111 game winning streak.

I'm just happy that we don't have to hear that espn love fest with Uconn

Is ESPN doing this game? They should be banned from doing WBB games from now on. The game last night was worse than Gary and Vern doing a Bama game.

I normally wouldn't care at all, but I'm pulling for State after last night. They showed a lot of guts, especially the point guard.

Here's a great article on the State pg Morgan William

The ESPN and Ref bias towards UConn probably made every member of the REC green with envy. It's beyond ridiculous and was way too obvious. I'm glad we can have a Natty game without this bullshite.

I'm going to lay this out for the discussion.
Vic Schafer has never beaten South Carolina. 0-10. South Carolina has beaten MSU 10 straight. The last two years, the games have been close and exciting, but MSU just hasn't been able to beat them.
Both games this year were in the state of South Carolina. Both games MSU controlled until the 4th quarter and A'ja took over. This is going to be another tough one for State - they do not match up well with SC.
SC's guards are just as quick as ours and A'ja is the best player in the nation inside. State's chance is going to rely on someone just having the game of their lives.

South Carolina really has been much better than expected and in someways more explosive without Coates. I expect a good game though, would be an awesome story seeing MSU win the title but it really could go either way.
Still in shock over last night, I expected a tight game somewhat due to MSU and their defense but MSU just continued to just cause havoc. UCONN wasn't making shots they should and they couldn't get into any kind of rhythm. I do love watching MSU play defense, they are fun to watch.
Pretty awesome seeing two SEC teams in the title game.

IMO, this game will be harder for MSU than the UConn game was. We had no expectations or pressure to win against UConn. The pressure is on now. That being said, after seeing our ladies do what most of the country thought was impossible, I think mental fortitude will come in handy this game. I can at least have confidence that they won't be rattled due to the significance of competing for a national championship.

Their strengths are the same as ours except theirs are better.

Same could be said about UConn. I really do think we have a special team this year and am not ready to give up hope yet.

I wouldn't say Gonzaga handed the Gamecocks their arse because it was a close game
Posted on 4/1/17 at 11:27 pm to kbrake37
It was a close game, which I think was impressive because Gonzaga seemed pretty dominant throughout. Y'all fought like hell until the bitter end. Ultimately some questionable coaching calls lost you the game, but that's life. You can claim the "Best B-Ball team in the 2017 SEC" because you clearly are.

ou mean how pro-UConn the announcers were?
Kara Lawson is awesome. She posted video of the announcing crew during the buzzer beater. Doris Burke looks like someone killed her puppy.

I love how she nudged Doris with her elbow after State pulled the upset. That's the kinda thing you do to a friend when their team loses but Doris will keep pretending to be unbiased.

She didn't even mention the game on her twitter. She is a yankee and just hates the south. It would not matter what from the south had beaten Uconn, she would have been just as upset.

I think her UConn love goes beyond that. She'd have been a sourpuss had anyone beaten them. She spent the entire game kissing their asses.

Too much momentum on state side right now.. there's no way they let this one get away from them. SC may be a better team but State is wanting it more at the moment.
