# What Mississippi Valley State coach said after 82-point loss at South Carolina

Mississippi Valley State lost to women’s college basketball power South Carolina 101-19 on Friday in what was a historic margin on the wrong side of the ledger. Despite the lopsided score that will surely be a point of discussion, Delta Devils head coach Kimberly Anderson decided to take a positive spin on the outcome and experience. Here is what she said about what matchup meant for the group and the program:

> “I like high-quality players, and y’all showed us tonight that y’all are high quality.” Hartsville, SC native [@MvsuWBB](https://twitter.com/MvsuWBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) HC Kimberly Anderson explaining the importance of an [@HBCUSports](https://twitter.com/HBCUSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) program playing on this stage:[@wachfox](https://twitter.com/wachfox?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@GamecockWBB](https://twitter.com/GamecockWBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/e1DDEuZENm](https://t.co/e1DDEuZENm)

At 1-5, Mississippi Valley State has taken it on the chin in non-conference play so far. There was a 104-45 loss at Utah on Nov. 6, followed by a 109-47 loss to defending champion LSU on Nov. 12. While it could be argued that Mississippi Valley State — a program that has not won more than four total games in a full season since the 2018-19 campaign shouldn’t schedule Final Four teams — it is the hand the program dealt itself. It is a challenge Anderson — realistically or not — hopes will eventually strengthen a program that needs support in every aspect of its operation.
