Mississippi State’s slide continues. It’s now lost three straight and five of its last six. The overriding theme of the postgame can be summed up with this quote from MSU coach Rick Stansbury: “Auburn was a much better basketball team than us. They played like it meant more to them than it did us.” Indeed, Auburn (19-10, 8-6 SEC) now holds sole possession of second place in the SEC Western Division behind overall SEC champ LSU, while State (17-12, 7-7) drops to third.
Four Tigers scored in double digits, led by Frankie Sullivan’s 14 points. Tay Waller, who had 32 last time these teams met, was held to 7. For State, Jarvis Varnado scored 14, Dee Bost and Phil Turner had 12 each, and Barry Stewart scored 11.
Auburn led by 17 points at halftime and by as many as 20 in the second half. And the stat of the day: Auburn’s bench outscored MSU’s bench 36-0. Some quotes from various coaches and players, starting with Stansbury:
• On Auburn coach Jeff Lebo: “Jeff did a much better job getting his team prepared to play this game than I did getting our team prepared to play this game. They played that way. Auburn played with more passion, more toughness, more togetherness.”
• On bench play: “I have no answer for that. They got 36 from their bench. I’ve just got no answer why. The biggest thing was our passion and our energy, which would lead to more baskets everywhere.”
• On the effort: “We’ve got to find a way to keep playing with some energy and toughness. We’ve got no margin for error. … When you don’t play hard, you’ve got no chance.”
Now, Varnado:
• “We had a good week of practice, I think everybody was pumped and ready to go for this game, but we just started off lackadaisical, and it carried over to the second half.”
• On looking ahead: “I know some of them are probably thinking the season’s over with, but we’ve got two more games left, and then we’ve got the SEC Tournament. And who knows. Look what happened to Georgia last year.”
• “I feel like we gave up toward the end. “
Turner:
• On the shooting woes: “I’m never too much at a loss for words, but I don’t know what to say, what to tell you.”
• On forging ahead: “The people on the inside, the team and the coaches, we’re the only people that believe we can win anyway. Everybody else just hopes we can win.”
Stewart:
• “As a whole, we came out flat. I don’t understand why. I’ve got no answer for that. At this point in the season, you’ve to have some urgency about you.”
From Auburn, Lebo:
• On Brendon Knox (10 points) vs. Varnado: “The one thing with Varnado as a shot-blocker, youve got to go right at him. Brendon’s awkward, when he gets it in there, I think that helped him more than anything. When he got it against Varnado, he didn’t know where it was coming from. And he was aggressive when he went at him.”
• On winning six of its last seven: “You’ve played your way into a situation where now every game’s meaningful.”

I mean, dang!
In Saturday afternoon’s final regular-season S.E.C. meet against Florida, the Gym Dogs began the competition in the vault, where Lauren Sessler got matters underway by carding a 9.85. The Red and Black were just getting started.
There followed a 9.9 from Hilary Mauro, a 9.85 from Kathryn Ding, a 9.85 from Marcia Newby, a 9.9 from Tiffany Tolnay, and a 9.925 from Courtney Kupets for a cumulative 49.425. In the meantime, the Gator gals tallied a 49.275 on the uneven bars.
When Georgia took its turn on the bars, Gina Nuccio, Grace Taylor, and Tolnay all posted 9.9s and Kupets capped off the second rotation with a 9.975 to earn an overall 49.55 mark. Florida answered with a 48.625 in the vault, where the visitors were forced to count a 9.3 because they failed to field a competing sixth vaulter.
Mauro began the Bulldogs’ stay on the balance beam in the third rotation, notching a 9.9 in the process, and an additional 9.9 from Taylor, accompanied by 9.95s from Courtney McCool and Kupets, gave the home team a 49.55 for the event. Florida’s floor exercise earned a 49.45.
In the meet’s final stanza, the Gym Dogs competed in the floor exercise, following up Abby Stack’s opening 9.9 with 9.925s from Newby, Taylor, and Tolnay, topped off by Kupets’s perfect 10. The 49.3 posted by the Gators on the beam could not match Georgia’s 49.675.
Led by Courtney Kupets’s career-high 39.85, the Red and Black administered a 198.2-196.65 spanking to the Gainesville girls. Georgia’s score was the highest posted by the Gym Dogs in a decade, which was adequately impressive to move Suzanne Yoculan to say this afterwards:
That’s what I am talking about when I talk about fight. . . . They found the fight to find the potential, and I am finally happy.
You and me both, Coach Yoculan.
Go ‘Dawgs!
