HTC, DOGS! HT: KSR.
Geez that was a squeaker. The Cats pulled out a really tough overtime win in Starkville last night, as if you didn't already know. State played really, really hard. The Cats had a tough time getting the ball in the post in the second half, and they were pretty damn cold from outside. Typically, that's a recipe for disaster (see: South Carolina) but the Cats overcame all that and put the game away. I thought once Jarvis Varnado fouled out, it was game over, but Dee Bost and the forgotten Kodi Augustus respectfully disagreed. They were making ridiculous stuff over some pretty good defense. After the loss, the always klassie State fans threw water bottles on the court, presumably because DeMarcus, Patrick, and J. Wall were all very thirsty from putting up double doubles. This was Patrick's best game in SEC play so far, in my opinion, and I'm glad he got after it as well as he did.
Not pretty, but that wasn't expected against a strong Bulldog team. Take the road W and move on, Cats. Next up: INTERNAL CONFLICT AT VANDERBILT! Maybe.
