STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The numbers in the postgame box score show that top-seeded Mississippi State was dominant in just about every facet during its 95-50 victory over Nicholls in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night.
Bulldogs coach Vic Schaefer isn't buying it. He knows tougher games are coming quickly.
"We're not very sharp," Schaefer said. "We've got basically 48 hours to figure it out."
Mississippi State didn't need to be perfect on Saturday because of its massive size and talent advantage. Victoria Vivians scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds while Teaira McCowan scored 18 and had 13 rebounds.
