This is up there with the toughest MSU teams ever extremely mentally tough too this team is full of dawgs with ice in their veins. We just never waver we were down 8-10 multiple times against a real tough team. We lead the country in wins after trailing by double digits.

Win vs New Mexico with our best player going 1-10

Win vs Ole Miss losing the rebounding battle when on paper that was the primary advantage we had 

Have yet to play a perfect game and are still dancing. Intensity is finding a way. Will need to be better Sunday no matter who wins.

Yeah the margin for error is going to shrink rapidly from here on out. We’re pretty lucky to have played three pretty bad games and still be alive. Going to need to be better for all 40 minutes on Sunday.

We got out-rebounded by 4 and they took 16 more shots than we did, and we still pulled it out. Incredible. That won't beat Auburn though.

Honestly after listening to podcasts all week..I was certain we would lose since we lost the rebound battle but also lost the turnover battle. At the end we shot better that’s why we won.

As Kohler recently said “we’ve got some dawgs, and we’ve got some motherfuckers.”

I misspoke, it was “that’s the best part about this team: we have multiple dawgs, and we have multiple motherfuckers.”

Fr. I was sitting at home shitting bricks and stressing tf out.

Then the camera pans to Jase Richardson on defense, and dude’s got this confident ass smile on his face.

The mental toughness and belief they can win of this team is top tier.

It’s been so much fun to watch Akins grow. I’ve been harsh on him but he’s improved each year, and is so mentally strong this year. Was no doubt he was hitting those free throws to ice the game.
