Mississippi State isn’t an underdog anymore.
Vic Schaefer wanted to be here, worked hard to get here, but now that he actually is here, he has to figure out what to do here. His first three years as the head coach at MSU were marked by obvious improvement and development. By the end of year three, his Bulldogs were in the NCAA Tournament, the Top 15 and far past the point of being overlooked.
They used to be the dogs at the back of the pack, nipping at the heels of those in front of them as they worked their way forward.
