Miss State vs. Kentucky

[MU B2002]

They just came down and fired away.

and fired away from DEEEP.  I am no expert but I am guessing a shot from 5-7 feet behind the arc will be there later in the shot clock, no reason to chuck it up there at :31.  This game really was over when Varnado fouled out.  MSU had no one who could get a rebound against Cousins, Patterson, or Orton.

UK is a horrible FT shooting team and that could be their down fall come march.  Also, Wall can't shoot from the outside!

I don't know what they were yesterday, but Miss St is a few places behind MU in RPI this morning.  MSU is one of the bubble teams I was a bit worried about in a "committee side-by-side" scenario with MU.  5-5 against top 100 (vs. MU's 4-6), decent SOS number, worst loss is Rider (first game of the season), but no real signature wins.  Last night was the sig-win they needed to trump MU's resume, but now with only Tennessee as the only ranked team remaining on their schedule, I think MU has the inside track against MSU.

Of course, hopefully none of this will matter.  MU should be a lock after a W tomorrow night.
