McCowan, Howard lead No. 7 Mississippi State in 80-49 Ole Miss rout

The Hump was electric in a blackout and Mississippi State took advantage. The Bulldogs blazed past the Rebels after a slow start in the first. That said, Mississippi State knew when to turn it on after Jordan Danberry found Teaira McCowan for the go-ahead jumper with 5:58 left in the first. While the Bulldogs have gotten off to slow starts this season, they know their identity and capability going forward.

McCowan and Anriel Howard, both who posted double doubles and combined for 49 points and 24 rebounds, led the way Mississippi State and carried them throughout.
