In Reply to: perspective - we were a 7.5 point favorite per ESPN posted by barrya on March 28, 2025 at 20:51:45
they fight; they have multiple players who score; they rebound like a school of piranhas. Not an easy game at all - and didn't figure to be.
You have to look at our lineup and have questions about how we match up with UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame and SC with Watkins,
They can't equal Betts, (Happily) and Rice is very solid. The others have strengths but if you match us up otherwise you have to have questions. TV just noted we are +20 with Betts on the court and -6 when she sits. lafong wrote early the difference is Betts and that's absolutely right on but otherwise I can understand why we are not the betting odds favorite to win the NC. Hope we figure it out
it is frustrating that Mississippi throws the same press at us play after play to contest the inbounds pass and we struggle with it every time - in game adjustments are NOT our forte
