Now that is how you get the 20th win of the season, my friends! To start off, let’s go to the end. Ole Miss just got a nice layup with about 14 seconds to go on the clock. Mississippi State has 3 timeouts, but Vic Schaefer decides not to use one. Breanna Richardson inbounds it to Morgan William. She drives it down the right side of the court and sets up right about the end of the Mississippi State bench. William took a couple of steps up, juked right, stepped up and took the shot. Nothing. But. Net. Three seconds left on the clock, Mississippi State Women’s basketball fans going crazy wherever they are watching. Ole Miss drives it to half court, launches a long one, but it misses. Like I said, exciting.

Mississippi State now rises to 20-2 (5-2 SEC) on the season after tonight’s victory. Four Bulldogs reached double digit points tonight, and all of them were led by Breanna Richardson. Richardson had 16 points and 4 rebounds, she was joined by William (14 points), Martha Alwal (14 points), and Victoria Vivians (10 points). Only three other Bulldogs added points, which is slightly disappointing considering the abilities of this squad. Of course, one of those is Dominique Dillingham that does things which are not seen on the stat sheet. Team-wise, the Bulldogs have plenty of improve on. The Bulldogs doubled their assist total with turnovers, 8 and 16 respectively. The Bulldogs were also out-rebounded during the game, usually a strong-suit for the Bulldogs, by a tally of 31-43. The Bulldogs also struggled from the outside as they only shot 22.2% from three.

The Bulldogs are now the first SEC team, men’s or women’s, to reach 20 wins this season. That’s right, the Lady Bulldogs have more wins than the vaunted Kentucky men’s program. The Bulldogs will travel to Auburn on Sunday to face off against the Lady Tigers. The game will be tipping off at 8:00 PM on SEC Network.

Also, the Ole Miss fans were very classy after a charging foul against the Rebels. They began throwing hot dogs onto the court…yes. Hot dogs.
