Mississippi State pulled off the unthinkable and the unimaginable Friday night when they knocked off the greatest dynasty in major American sports - the UConn Huskies.
Coming into the game with the world doubting them, Vic Schaefer put together a brilliant game plan and installed confidence into his squad that was put to display right from the opening tip. The team never looked scared, never looked overwhelmed, and answered every moment of adversity throughout the 45 minutes of action in front of a huge crowd in the American Airlines Center.
In my UConn preview, I wrote that State needed a legendary performance and lots of help from everyone on the court:
In order for State to pull off the victory, I believe the Bulldogs will need a huge performance from Teaira McCowan, another impressive showing by Morgan William, and a scoring outburst from Victoria Vivians.
