STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi was fighting with its all its might during the third quarter on Monday night, sprinting around the court and diving for loose balls, all in an effort to pull within striking distance of No. 4 Mississippi State.
That's about the time Mississippi State's Victoria Vivians caught a pass, squared up from 22 feet and let a 3-pointer fly. Swish. Fifteen seconds later after a scrum for a rebound, she emerged and sprinted down the court for an easy layup.
Just like that, Mississippi State was well on its way to a 73-62 win over rival Ole Miss at Humphrey Coliseum.
