For the second consecutive year, the Mississippi State Women's basketball team will be a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, edging out teams like Oregon, Louisville, and Iowa. After a dominating SEC Tournament, the Dawgs are one of the hottest teams in the country heading into the tournament and have one of the most complete offensive and defensive teams in the country.
With Vic Schaefer fresh off his Coach of the Year honor and Teaira McCowan in her double-double form, it looks to be a promising sign after back-to-back runner up finishes. With the addition of Anriel Howard to the team this year, plus both Holmes and Danberry playing well, it makes this team possibly more dynamic than previous teams.
