STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Ketara Chapel and Teaira McCowan each scored 14 points and No. 3 Mississippi State rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Georgia 58-49 on Thursday night.
Mississippi State (26-1, 12-1 Southeastern Conference) struggled on offense and trailed for nearly the entire game. But Chapel converted a 3-point play -- making a layup while being fouled -- to give the Bulldogs a 48-46 lead with less than three minutes left that they wouldn't surrender.
Chapel's 14 points were a season high. The bench scored 34 of Mississippi State's 58 points.
Caliya Robinson led Georgia (13-13, 5-8) with 13 points.
