That was a great game and I'm happy to see Miss State advance. They have some great players & a great coach. Still, my god, what terrible placement by the committee to put 4-seed Michigan State in the Bulldogs' gym.

Go SEC - survive & advance!

That was a great game. Victoria Vivians was clutch again. Michigan State went to a Box and 1 and for Richardson to hit that elbow 3 was huge. Michigan State was suppose to host, but an event in East Lansing prevented them from doing so. That has to suck. These young ladies worked hard all year long and couldn't even host. Anyways, Go SEC!

I thought it was a very good game, also. Michigan State was supposed to host but could not due to a prior event in their venue. Talk about bad for them!

The reason the game was played at Miss St was because Mich St had a prior commitment in their arena and were unable to host, otherwise the game would have been in Michigan.

Seems they should have found another venue in the Lansing area.

Exactly - anyplace but the lower-seeded opponent's home court, if fairness is the goal.

But I'm happy MSU advanced. Not happy they're going straight to Con.

SV, I watched the softball game, too. Gators are tough. When do we get a pitcher like that again?

Bad move by MSU to give up hosting. The home crowd advantage definitely helped Miss St... and that uncalled foul at the end was a bonus.

I liked the MSU win but I liked even better DePaul beating Louisville on Louisville's home court. That, too, was a great game.

Watching Baylor and Auburn. SMH. There is no way we could play with Baylor. The passes, the rebounding, the quickness, the sheer effort/aggression they play with. I know they have talent but....!! What is wrong with us? It can't all be Holly. I know we have NO offensive game (think we can put that on Holly), and the girls seem like a good group. Why can we not play basketball? If I could answer that question, I'd be a Division I coach I guess. I am just soooooo frustrated and depressed right now:cray:.

You are what you do. The team plays the way they practice.

You did not make me feel better:disappointed:. Right now I need empathy and sympathy, not realism. I read cannon's post and have been in a funk ever since.

Edit: whew! Now I feel better.

It sometimes happens that a higher seeded team cannot host due to a conflict. It happened to Miss State during the 2000 tournament. The Bulldogs were a 3 seed and had a terrific year but had to go to Oregon, the 6 seed, to play because there was a major event on campus and there were no hotel rooms. Starkville is a tiny place and had few lodging options that were all full. That 2000 team lost in the 2nd round to UAB, who beat Oregon in the opening round, so it was a slightly different set up than yesterday.

I am proud of the Lady Bulldogs. They are well coached and Vivians is a legit talent. When the Lady Vols lost to them during the year and in the SEC tournament, this board was pretty upset but while they don't have great history, Mississippi State has a good team this season. They will not come within 25 of UConn, but still a great accomplishment to make it this far.

It was said on ESPN that Michigan State didn't have a choice as their venue was already pre-booked to host high school championships.

You have every reason to be proud. The best thing your AD ever did was hire Vic Schaefer. He is legit. Praise the Lord and Go Dawgs!

I know... but it's hard to believe Mich St couldn't petition for another local-- or a neutral-- venue. It's such a huge advantage to give a lower seed home floor.

So true. I find it odd as well that they couldn't find another site.
