Last season, the Mississippi State women's basketball team shocked the world by upsetting Connecticut in the Final Four, 64-62, in an overtime thriller.
Back in the Final Four one year later, the Bulldogs are tasked with taking down another beast, the Atlantic Coast Conference champion Louisville Cardinals, on Friday night at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Only this time, the world can see Mississippi State coming from a mile away. The Bulldogs are 36-1 and earned a No. 1 seed.
"I believed this could happen. I believed that we had the blueprint," Bulldogs head coach Vic Schaefer said.
