State earned their first SEC win of the season behind the strong performances of Newman and Weatherspoon.
The Bulldogs exercised some demons against Ole Miss as well, beating them for the first time in a big three sport since April of 2014. In basketball, this was the second time this week MSU beat the Rebels as the Lady Bulldogs defeated their rival on Monday night.
It was a very exciting game with dozens of ties and lead-changes. It was back-and-forth the entire way until the end when MSU took a double-digit lead. In the end, they won 83-77.
