OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Josh Hubbard made four 3-pointers and finished with 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting to help Mississippi State beat Alabama State 94-56 on Monday night for the Bulldogs’ fourth win in a row.
Freshman King Grace scored a season-high 14 points, Achor Achor had 11 points and eight rebounds, and Ja’Borri McGhee added 10 points for Mississippi State (8-5). Quincy Ballard had a season-high 15 rebounds to go with eight points.
Hubbard hit three 3s in a 65-second span to break a 6-6 tie and give the Bulldogs the lead for good. His fourth and final 3-pointer made it 28-18 with 9:36 left until halftime and Alabama State trailed by double figures the rest of the way.
The Bulldogs shot a season-best 54% (37 of 69) from the field, 10 of 25 from 3-point range, and had a season-high 19 assists. Mississippi State outrebounded the Hornets 49-27 and outscored them 20-6 in second-chance points.
Asjon Anderson led the Hornets with 17 points, Micah Simpson scored 14 and Tyler Byrd 10.
Alabama State (3-10) has lost seven straight and nine of 10.
Hubbard has 1,517 points in 82 career games and moved past Jerry Jenkins (1,503 points from 1972-75) into 12th on the program’s all-time scoring list.
