BILOXI, Miss. -- Mississippi State earned its third win of the season, even if this one wont be remembered for its beauty.Victoria Vivians scored 17 points, Breanna Richardson added 11 and the 10th-ranked Bulldogs beat Tulane 66-49 on Wednesday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.Both teams struggled to score points early, but when the Bulldogs (3-0) began to find their shot in the second quarter, Tulane (1-1) stayed cold.The Green Wave went scoreless in the final 4:36 of the second quarter, which helped Mississippi State take a 36-16 advantage into halftime.Tulanes best chance at mounting an upset bridged the third and fourth quarters thanks to a 10-0 run. The rally was aided by consecutive 3-pointers from Leslie Vorpahl, bringing the Green Wave within 47-35. Mississippi State responded with its own small run, however, to squash the comeback attempt.Tulanes late run -- coupled with the Bulldogs shooting just 36.1 percent from the field -- frustrated MSU coach Vic Schaefer.I didnt think we had some kids who came out in the second half and were ready to play. I think if youre going to be who everybody says we are, if were going to be a top 10 team, then you come out and win (the second half) by 20 again, Schaefer said. You dont come out and stink it up and play dead even with them in the second half.Vorpahl carried the Green Wave. The senior guard scored 20 points on 9 of 11 shooting from the floor.She came in and really competed and did a good job of running the team and also looking for her shot, Tulane coach Lisa Stockton said.Harlyn Wyatt added 10 points for Tulane.Mississippi State has won four straight over the Green Wave.HOME SWEET HOMEMississippi State freshman Ameshya Williams and sophomore Jazzmun Holmes played in front of their hometown fans for the first time as college athletes. Both graduated from nearby high schools and saw time off the bench. Williams scored four points with three rebounds in the final five minutes of the game. Holmes finished with two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes.STAT OF THE NIGHTMississippi State grabbed 24 offensive rebounds and finished with 26 second-chance points, dwarfing Tulanes seven second-chance points.Our defense, even in the first half, I dont think was bad, Stockton said. They were shooting 30-something percent, but it was the offensive rebounds that were keeping them in it.COOLING OFFMississippi State entered Wednesday nights game shooting 57.7 percent from 3-point range. The Wave held the Bulldogs to just 23.5 percent on 4 of 17 shooting.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: Fresh off of dominant wins against Villanova and Maine in their first two games of the season, the Bulldogs continued to show why theyre a top 10 team.Tulane: After a convincing showing in a 79-56 season-opening win against Grambling on Nov. 12, the Green Wave suffered their first setback of the season.UP NEXTMississippi State: The Bulldogs have a big test awaiting them at 5 p.m. Sunday when they host No. 8 Texas (1-1) in Starkville.Tulane: The Green Wave travel to face Southern Miss on Sunday.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Deshaun Watson knows No. 5 Clemson wont lose its championship mindset, even after its first regular-season loss in two years.He also doesnt believe the Tigers have lost their chances at a national title.Watson said the Tigers (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) are focused on Wake Forest and the chance to clinch the ACC Atlantic Division to advance to the league title game following a stunning, 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh this past Saturday.Watson passed for an ACC record 580 yards, but also threw three critical interceptions -- two at the goal line -- as the Tigers run at a second straight perfect regular season came to a surprising end. Still, Watson said the teams title goals remain alive, particularly after No. 4 Michigan and No. 7 Washington also lost Saturday shortly a after Clemson was upset.Were still going to have the same mindset, go out there execute, dominate and try and be the best we can be, Watson said Monday. Thats not going to change.Neither has Clemsons path back to the College Football Playoff. Beat Wake Forest (6-4, 3-3), then rival South Carolina in the regular-season finale and the ACC Coastal champ (Virginia Tech and North Carolina at tied atop the division) in the conference title game, and the Tigers likely will be in the four-team playoff.Last year, Alabama won at 14-1 so theres no reason why we cant, tight end Jordan Leggett said.Wake Forest is also coming off a disappointing defeat, 44-12 at No. 3 Louisville after entering fourth quarter ahead 12-10. Demon Deacons safety Jessie Bates III said the team, like the Tigers, will return to work, watch lots of film and see what we can do against Clemson.Watson sounded at times like Clemsons first home loss since 2013 hadnt fully sunk in.We havent had too many losses, especially in college. Its new around here, he said. But you live and you learn. Yooure going to take losses.ddddddddddddWatson, a junior leaving for the NFL after this season, is 27-3 as Clemsons starter. He acknowledged his mistakes are up -- 13 interceptions this season after 15 total his first two years -- and thats cost Clemson at times.Watson is ready to bounce back at Wake Forest and try for Clemsons 10th consecutive road win, extending the school mark set three weeks ago in a 37-34 victory at Florida State. The Tigers have also won seven straight against the Demon Deacons.Weve just got to understand that weve got to go out there and earn it, he said. Were not entitled into each game knowing that were going to win it. Weve got to play four quarters and go get it.Clemson, despite its mistakes, looked ready to put Pitt away a couple of times in the final quarter. Watsons last interception came on second-and-goal at the Panthers 3. On the Tigers next drive, they failed to gain a yard on third and fourth down -tailback Wayne Gallman was stopped twice by Pitt, which allowed 630 yards overall.The Panthers cashed in on Clemsons miscues, Chris Blewitt hitting a 48-yard field goal with six seconds to go for the victory.Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said there is no good time to lose.But if you do, you learn from it and keep moving forward, he said. Its all about whats in front of us. Thats just the mentality weve had around here for a long time. One bad day is not going to change that.Watson, his right shoulder sore from a school-record 70 passes Saturday, is eager to get back to work on the Tigers championship goals.As a team, we understand what we can fix, he said. When you do all the little things, the big things take care of themselves.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
