In a lopsided victory, Mississippi State showed why they are the nation’s most complete team. The Bulldogs dominated on both ends of the floor, having eclipsed the 100 mark and holding Southern to just 46 points. A combination of talent and experience is dangerous and Mississippi State has both and then some.
Teaira McCowan and Anriel Howard led the way, both posting double doubles, McCowan with 22 points and 16 rebounds, Howard with 23 points and 12. Both ruled the paint and were a headache for the Jaguars inside. McCowan and Howard are easily the nation’s best one two punch down low.
