Given it was a home loss, this one stung that much more for Mississippi State. Now with two losses on their resume, the Bulldogs were exposed. Though Anriel Howard and Teaira McCowan filled the stat line, it was simply not enough.
The duo combined for a total of 33 points and 19 rebounds. That said, Mizzou star guard Sophie Cunningham could not be stopped. She was a headache all game long and had her way on both ends of the floor. Cunningham posted 24 points, six rebounds, three assists, and four steals.
However, Mississippi State did have only one more turnover than Mizzou, 18-17.
