On their home floor, the Mississippi State Bulldogs jumped out to a 24-8 lead and held off the Green Bay Phoenix 77-68 in a non-conference game in Starkville Monday night.
The Phoenix (1-2) battled back with a 10-0 run in the second half and closed the gap to four points but that’s as close as they would come.
Khalil Small and T.J. Parham led Green Bay with 15 points each. The Phoenix return home to face Florida A&M at the Resch Center Friday night with a 6:00 PM tip.
