I don’t know whether to call it old school because of the style or new school because of the way he used the roster, but this much I am confident saying: that was a classic Vic Schaefer win. Low scoring (for the most part), physical, and back-and-forth. Heated, emotional and in question until the final minutes. It was a team win, a true full-team effort by a group who has faced the best the country has to offer every week from November to now.
The matchup was billed as superstars versus super team, and in this instance, Mississippi State’s depth and determination proved to be the more dominant force as MSU took down Washington and their stars 75-64.
