No. 6 Mississippi State faced a real test, as Tennessee gave the Bulldogs a run for their money. But then the fourth quarter happened and Mississippi State took advantage. The Bulldogs’ vets stepped up and shined in the spotlight. Now 22 - 1 and still undefeated in conference play at 10-0 a monumental statement was made yesterday.
It was the story of four upperclassman. Anriel Howard, Teaira McCowan, Jordan Danberry, and Jazzmun Holmes left it all on the floor. Having combined for 67 of the Bulldogs’ 91 points, all knew what was on the line.
Howard and McCowan have been a formidable duo all season long, as both posted double doubles.
