Vic Schaefer’s squad snagged another win as they went down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi this weekend. Mississippi State (9-0) took down Southern Miss (7-2) in commanding fashion with a 72-50 win.
Mississippi State jumped out to an early lead on the road, scoring 21 points in the first quarter while holding Southern Miss to 6. USM would try to make a comeback by cutting the lead to 33-22 at the half.
However, much like the first quarter, the Bulldogs would not be outscored the rest of the way. Between 18 points in the third quarter and 21 in the fourth, Southern Miss simply had no answer for MSU’s offense.
