V ole miss

[flippinhogmana]

Ole miss looks better than us just comparing rosters.  They have more height, but they dont use it much.  They have a 6-3 girl and a 6-5 girl that they use very little so far.

But two factors play in our favor.  One, Ole Miss has had a comparatively weaker schedule.  Two, we are playing at home.  They just had two tough losses to recover from that exposed their weaknesses, and they also had a recovery game to reestablish themselves.  It will be a cat fight I am sure, probably not decided until late.

I hope we dont get off to a slow start.

[flippinhogmana]

game time is 2:00 pm Sunday, and it will be at the Bud, will also be televised on Espn/Sec Tv for those of you who have that link.

Their bigs are big bodies but slow.  Williams and Thomas need to beat them up the floor.  I think we can run them out of the gym.

I hope you are right LBBF.  I know that is how MN has prepped them.  I hope they dont come out with jitters.  We will see in about thirty minutes.

[flippinhogmana]

I dont know yet (until tipoff) whether this is their actual starting lineup or not, but right now it shows that the Ole Miss starting lineup is actually smaller than ours, their tallest player being 5-10 forward Glover.
