STARKVILLE, MS - Bearcats and Bulldogs shared the same floor in the land they call "Stark Vegas." What they didn't share was the same shooting touch. The Bulldogs not only outshot UC 46 to 37 percent from the field, they absolutely blistered the nets from the arc at 52 percent (12-for-23) to UC's 21 percent (3-for-14) as Mississippi State prevailed 70-59.
Quindarry Weatherspoon hit for 14 points as did Lamar Peters. Both had a trio of threes. Teammates Reggie Perry and Tyson Carter had 12 points each.
Jarron Cumberland had 21 in the defeat for UC and Keith Williams had 15.
