Clash at Humphrey Coliseum: Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs vs Texas A&M-Commerce Lions
As the Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs prepare to host the Texas A&M-Commerce Lions at Humphrey Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. The Lady Bulldogs have been on a tear recently, and their performance in past games suggests that they will continue this trend.
Looking back at the game on December 4th against Grambling State Tigers, the Lady Bulldogs dominated with a commanding 73-47 victory. Their scoring was consistent across all quarters, never dipping below 14 points in any period. This level of consistency is what fans have come to expect from the team and it's likely to be a key factor in their upcoming game.
The offensive prowess of MSST was even more evident during their November 29th clash with Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks where they racked up an impressive 94 points. Scoring over 20 points in each quarter, including a staggering 33 in the third alone, showcased their ability to maintain intensity throughout the game.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for MSST as evidenced by their encounter with Nebraska Cornhuskers on November 26th. Despite putting up a valiant effort that led them into overtime, they ultimately fell short with a score of 65-73. One area of concern from that game was three-point shooting where they only made three out of thirteen attempts—a mere 23 percent success rate which could prove costly if not addressed.
The defense has also been formidable; stealing possession from opponents has become second nature for MSST as seen when they managed an impressive total of fourteen steals against Nebraska Cornhuskers. This defensive tenacity will need to be at its peak when facing TAMC who are known for their resilience and fighting spirit.
TAMC should not be underestimated despite being visitors; every opponent deserves respect and preparation. However, given recent performances and statistics from both teams' previous games, it’s reasonable to predict that MSST holds an advantage going into this contest.
Fans eager to support MSST can mark their calendars for December 11th when these two teams face off at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville at 5:00 PM local time (CT). While there's no broadcast network listed for this event yet, supporters should keep an eye out for updates as game day approaches so they don’t miss any action from what promises to be another showcase of women’s college basketball talent.
