COSTAMASNAGA, Italy – Young, yet resilient. Young, yet tough. Young, yet confident.
Oh, and talented, too.
Once again the Mississippi State freshmen put on a show, this time against the Kosovo National Team Friday afternoon as the Bulldogs concluded their four-game Italian tour with an impressive 91-87 win in overtime.
They’ll return home on Sunday 4-0, but more importantly they will return home with experience and far more chemistry. And for a freshman-laden team, that is key.
Both those factors proved pivotal against Kosovo as the freshmen accounted for 74 points and countless big plays at critical junctures of the game.
