My 💔 hurts for this team. Putting in work since June for the opportunity to get this far. I am so very proud of our effort and heart, I wouldn’t want to go to war with anybody else

I don’t think people understand how hard this was. Spins right, reaches back to catch the ball, spins back left, finds the rim, finishes while avoiding contact and not falling on her face

Darrione Rogers is our sixth woman of the week.
The senior had a fantastic week, averaging (14.0) points, (5.3) rebounds, and (1.0) assists while shooting 44.4% from three, propelling Mississippi State to a (3-0) week.
Her impact reverberated in every game last week, but it

The real credit goes to the best Athletic Trainer in the country, Taylor Pitts!! Keeping our team available day in and day out, putting in hours of treatment and recovery behind the scenes. The best ability is AVAILABILITY 💯
Erynn Barnum came to Mississippi State as an All-SEC transfer, but her story is about much more than that.
"We lose people in our lives that are your rock. But you know what? The kid's never folded."
Using distraction and sport to pull an athlete out of disfunction. Here we are working on knee extension and normalized walking gait. Still room for improvement but today we got better

Darrione Rogers' passing is so underrated. 7 assists tonight off the bench to go along with 8 points.
State has an incredible 27 assists on 33 made shots.
So proud to say I coach this great group of young women! Not only are they special basketball players, they are even better people! It is possible to win at a high level and impact the lives of these student athletes in a positive way!
ONE of the best post players
ONE of the hardest workers
Her return to the game was forged in fire behind the scenes, in an empty gym and an empty weight room. She has been grinding, day in and day out.
Her success is no accident

In my opinion, the team that presents a major challenge to LSU and South Carolina in the SEC is Mississippi State. They have their top two leading scorers from the previous season, in addition to having the 21st-best recruiting class and three ESPN Top 25 transfers.
Why stop at back-to-back?
Mississippi State is the first team in
@SEC
women's basketball history to have three different players selected for the conference's top weekly award in three consecutive weeks!

No luck about it Coach Purcell, those were decisions made to run the floor! They could have jogged, but that’s not the Cardinal Way!

People ask why I left the NBA. Answer: the opportunity to coach young women, show them how strong they can truly become, and empower them to accomplish everything they’ve set their mind too.

is a special person and a great teammate. She deserves all her flowers 🌹 after that outing. Working all summer, staying locked in, and stepping up huge when her number was called. Can’t wait to see what she does next 📈
Watching WBB, lack of fitness is more obvious this year than ever before. It’s becoming clear who used the pandemic as an EXCUSE and who used it as an OPPORTUNITY
