No. 6 Mississippi St rallies to beat No. 18 Marquette 87-82

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Marquette coach Carolyn Kieger thought she had a good scouting report on Mississippi State's Anriel Howard.

It said the 5-foot-11 forward wasn't great at making 3-pointers. She made the two she shot.

It said she usually drove to her right. She went left with ease.

When it was over, Howard had finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds and was the driving force behind No. 6 Mississippi State's 87-82 win over No. 18 Marquette on Thursday night.

Kieger was on the losing end of the barrage, but even she was impressed.

"Everything we were saying, she was countering," Kieger said.
