STARKVILLE, Miss. — The Mississippi State women’s basketball team put an end to its three-game losing streak by soundly beating the Missouri Tigers 77-62 on Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum.
In then annual “Think Pink Game,” the Bulldogs got red hot from behind the 3-point line. MSU showed tremendous focus during this game considering the recent departure of leading scorer Rickea Jackson from the team. The Bulldogs are now 12-7 (3-4 SEC), while the Tigers (16-6) evened their SEC record at 4-4.
MSU got out of the gates early, shooting over 64% from the field in the first quarter and edging out to a 10-point lead with two minutes left in the quarter.
