KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Victoria Vivians keeps her crown in her room, sitting on the dresser where she can see it.
"It means a lot, because I'd never done anything like that," Vivians said, smiling, in regard to having been Mississippi State's homecoming queen in October. "The team supported me; everybody on campus supported me. It was a special moment."
Yet Vivians, a senior guard for the Bulldogs, may end up with even more special bling by the end of this season. Mississippi State was 34-5 and national runner-up last year, but might these Bulldogs be even better?
