Plenty of pundits are preposterously picking Liberty over Mississippi State.

I don't know much about the Flames. How do they match up with State? I checked their schedule and they lost to both Vanderbilt and Alabama by 9...

They are a slow-it down team, which I think is a good matchup for us.

Honestly, I didn't think they were very impressive. We played pretty bad that night and the game never really felt in doubt. But, I felt the same about Murray (outside of Morant). Morant is absolutely unreal, but the rest of that team was pretty meh.

The caveat of course being we played both those teams in the first half of the season which was a long time ago.

They could get hot and beat MSU, sure.

But the pundits are picking them because at least one 12 always beats a 5. Every year. So they're making an educated gamble, imho

They weren't impressive early in the year but they are much, much more talented than everybody in their league except Lipscomb. Hard to judge them over the last few months to know how much they've improved. Winning at Lipscomb with a bid on the line is pretty tough for anybody to do.

I don't think they're great but if you get bad Lamar Peters I bet it will be a one or two possession game late.

Yeah I said last night the bracket sets up imo the best case scenario for MSU to reach the Sweet Sixteen.

So many people wigging out over these non-chalk "picks". The sportswriters/announcers have three days to talk about the tourney before it starts and they will all be looking for potential upsets they will explore it for everyone. Just like with brackets, everyone hates listening to pure chalk.

Liberty won't be able to dictate the pace and they surely won't be able to bang with State on the glass.

Nice alliteration too, OP.

It did not go unnoticed

Bulldogs will destroy Liberty.

You are much better and the game will be at least 15 points at the half.

State is a really good team. I was happy to have to play y'all once.

State proved to the country during OOC play that they can play with anybody.
