00:00 The Bulldogs have finally picked up their first road victory and have won back to back
00:04 games, one against being Mizzou on the road and against Georgia at home.
00:09 These aren't quad one victories like most would hope for, but wins are wins, especially
00:13 after the debacle against #15 Alabama just a couple weeks ago.
00:17 In that loss, the offense just wasn't able to compete with Alabama's offense and also
00:23 one of their key and best on ball defenders, DJ Jeffries.
00:28 Despite his absence, Cameron Matthews has stepped up and has played fantastic basketball.
00:39 Think of Ben Wallace or Draymond Green when you think of him, just a nice defensive anchor
00:44 for you, rattling off rebounds, getting blocks and getting steals, and in the Mizzou win,
00:48 he got his career best in 7 steals.
00:51 Tolu Smith and Josh Hubbard have also been very efficient, and Hubbard's been nourishing
00:55 an ankle injury ever since that Alabama loss, and with this week off before the next opponents,
00:59 the Arkansas Razorbacks, it's good for him to get rest because he's fairly from behind
01:03 the arc.
01:04 Smith is finally coming into form as well, he's been flying around the court like never
01:07 before, so optimism is high for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, who have a chance to really
01:13 put up impressive numbers with the remaining of their schedule.
