Nope. She’s good to go. She stayed in the game.Feel good winning an SEC game by double digits shooting 22% from 3. That might be our lowest 3 percentage of the year.
Jordy has just really become a complete player. RJ seems to be making big strides in bringing rebounding/assists with her scoring.
I only saw stats. Did I read correctly, did RJ get a tech? If so will she have to sit out a half next game?

I disagree. Going toe to toe against Kellie isn't exactly a high benchmark for coaching excellence. As flawed as Hayes is, she is still a tremendous basketball talent and it's clear Purcell has no idea how to use her...
i to see tess get to the free more .I refuse to lose sleep over that one. She may never miss another!
Those REFS. I get they wanted to keep the game under control but they were going to the monitor to review stuff that would never be noticed in the men's game. Jordan shrugging off Hayes on the in bound play, never should have taken a 5 minute review.
Going back a bit, I am also salty that the refs called Jordan for "a maybe you can see it in superslow motion" carry against VT (which cost the game) and tonight they let Hayes palm the ball with impunity. She should have 5 or more carry calls. I know a different ref team but seriously have some consistency.
Won it with rebounding as thanks to 76 shot attempts to their 62 we were able to pull off the win. 80 points on 76 shot attempts 1.05 per attempt. 69 points on 62 attempts for them for a 1.11. A game we absolutely had to get those second chance points and we did it.Feel better about this win than the one against Bama. The LVs took control on a night when they were not shooting that well as a team. 22% from the 3 is probably below what they will hit in most games and MSU was unusually hot but the LVs dominated the glass, limited TOs and for the most, played tough defense.
And this was actually an off night for Rickea, She went a bit cold down the stretch but made good plays in other ways.
So, nice to see the LVs have a "release the Horston!" moment. She went CP3 down the stretch.
Also, really good see extended minutes with Horston and Jackson on the floor together.
I do believe MSU will be receiving a bye at conference tournament. They are a top-4 SEC type team imo.
We shall see...
Totally disagree. This was the most under control usage of Wild Annie I've seen in the 42 years she's been playing. For those unfamiliar, if you get frustrated with our undersized guards doing headlong drives and throwing up prayers, you ain't seen nothin unless you saw Hayes in her "prime". I thought MS was well coached in general, but this guy deserves an award for talking Hayes, and her parents, into more of a distributor role. Announcers said it was his pitch to her for coming back and amazingly, it worked. Score less, pass more. She had 11 assists! I admit I probably have an irrational dislike for the whole Hayes operation, but I was SO glad to see her walk off our floor for the very last time. And oh yeah, she does palm the ball constantly, always has.As flawed as Hayes is, she is still a tremendous basketball talent and it's clear Purcell has no idea how to use her...
Carter is just good. Period. Rowe looked spectacular, in that mysterious way we are able to make 3 pt superstars out of career 25% shooters. Many of her 3s had hands in face. I'm not sure why that happens to us so much, but we need to figure it out!Really impressed with Rowe and Carter. Maybe Rowe was just very lucky with her 3 point shooting last night. I respected them for the way they withstood the 1st quarter and fought back.
It was odd; they almost appeared to be conceding rebounds, which we were happy to gobble up. I get its harder to rebound out of a zone, but many times they gave no effort, just retreated downcourt.One thing MSU has to sort out to be elite is their rebounding. Someone outside of Carter needs to put a body on someone. They need a couple players to step up and start hitting the boards.
We slaughtered them on the offensive boards.
.Awesome duo performance from Jackson and Horston! Walker finally got a 3! And what about Tess Darby these last few games?! She’s needed for her outside shooting! Hopefully Puckett can blatant clicking again, she’s been off the last few games.
