Danberry powers 7th-ranked 'Dogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Jordan Danberry decided to transfer to Mississippi State from Arkansas six games into her sophomore season in 2016.

The Conway native scored a career-high 26 points Thursday in her first game back to Walton Arena in the No. 7 Bulldogs' 93-69 victory.

"It was different [being in the visitors] locker room," Danberry said. "I felt like I was comfortable here. I've been wearing this jersey for a long time now, so I'm not really feeling anything different just playing out there."

While the Razorbacks (11-4, 0-1 SEC) were putting most of their first-half defensive effort into fronting Mississippi State center Teaira McCowan, Danberry took advantage, scoring 14 first-quarter points on 7-for-11 shooting.
