STARKVILLE, Miss. — The Mississippi State women’s basketball team brought back the Teddy Bear Toss on Wednesday night, an annual Humphrey Coliseum tradition. Fans that brought a stuffed animal to donate received free admission and could toss the donations on the court at halftime. Such a cuddly welcome did not await the visiting McNeese State Cowgirls, as the Bulldogs looked to bear down on another nonconference opponent at home following a tough road loss last weekend at the Daytona Beach Invitational.
MSU scored at will in the first quarter, and the Bulldog defense held the Cowgirls at bay.
