In another sellout at the Hump, as No. 2 Mississippi State gave their fans all the reason to smile, taking down the Kentucky Wildcats 74-55. The Bulldogs put on a show at home, led by Victoria Vivians, Teaira McCowan, and Roshunda Johnson. With no signs of letting up, head coach Vic Schaefer made sure the toughness was there throughout.
McCowan returned to form, posting a double-double with 21 points, 16 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Her impact on the game is like no other, as the Wildcats had no answer in the paint. She had been relatively quiet on offense as of late, but made a compelling statement to those in and around the game.
