I'm surprised Mississippi State made it so far.

MSU a surprise ?.... I don’t think so. They’re a top 10 college program. I’d be surprised if they WEREN’T in final...

They lost 4/5 of their starting lineup from last season, and are depending on a player who has never played at the college level, plus they are 2-3 years younger on average than every other team. |

I believe the via the rules, they we're allowed to use one of their graduating SR's and they also picked up one player from the University of Maryland.

Mississippi State's whole roster goes/went to Mississippi State. Six of their players have never played there (two transfers and four freshmen), one was a senior last year, and five played last year and will return this year. I know when Maryland went (the summer after Slocum transferred here), they added a player from Michigan State. |

I watched almost the entire game Jazz barely played until the end, but Australia’s roster is much older as a whole. Jazz is young for her team, so they went with the more experienced players.
Mississippi State was eh. Their bigs weren’t as good as Australia’s, and they were way younger and inexperienced, and led by two freshmen.

Australia had her play the least of anyone on their team. Disappointing. |

Players will go through a game or games when they just are off. Players are not machines so they can have off games. This is why it is never a good idea to base an evaluation on their performance in one or even a few games. |

All of the starters on the team play in the Australian Pro's. Would have been odd if Simmons got a lot of playing time.

Even Magbegor didn't get much playing time in the final. Or at least the parts I watched. There was a period in the beginning of the fourth Q where the stream just quit for a while. Expecting Simmons to play a lot and make a major contribution was just unrealistic.
