Offense key to Mississippi St-DePaul matchup

Both Mississippi State and DePaul found plenty of offense in first-round wins on Friday. The question when the two teams meet in Sunday's second-round matchup will be who can find some more scoring punch.

Tanita Allen came off the bench and scored 25 points as DePaul rolled to an 88-69 victory over Northern Iowa. Mississippi State shook up its starting lineup and got production from many as five players finished in double figures in a 110-69 rout of Troy.

The two teams play on Sunday, and the offense will be the big question. Mississippi State blew open Friday's game with a 29-point second quarter even though coach Vic Schaefer tinkered with his starting lineup a bit.
