Mississippi State snapped their two-game losing streak and was led by a pair of veterans. Jerkaila Jordan, with a gutsy performance on a bad ankle, the veteran still put up 17 points. 

Jessika Carter finished with 22 points and 19 rebounds and had the game-winning block on the last possession for Arkansas. This is a much-needed win for the Bulldogs, who now have their first conference win.
