AUSTIN, Texas -- Mississippi State's toughest test of the early season had a familiar result: another rout.
Jazzmun Holmes scored 17 points, Chloe Bibby had 14 and Teaira McCowan rebounded her way to a school record, helping the No. 6 Bulldogs roll over No. 10 Texas 67-49 on Sunday in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
The Bulldogs entered the marquee matchup of powerhouse programs braced for a slugfest after a series of early season blowouts. Mississippi State has made it to the NCAA Tournament final the last two seasons and Texas has advanced to the Sweet 16 or further each of the last four years.
