Wednesday's Women's Basketball Roundup

Chattanooga 75, King 34

The Chattanooga women's basketball put on a dominant display on Wednesday night in McKenzie Arena, barreling through Division II opponent King University with a 75-34 blowout victory over the Tornado. The Mocs put together a very solid performance on the night, with UTC hanging its hat on a season-low 12 turnovers paired with shooting the ball at a 26-for-51 (51 percent) clip as a team. Chattanooga also shut down the Tornado in the middle 20 minutes of the game, only allowing King to score a combined nine total points across the second and third quarters.

Mississippi State 81, Mercer 44

Undefeated Mississippi State shot nearly 60 percent from the field, including a 10-for-22 clip from downtown, and posted a big disparity in the rebounding column on the way to an 81-44 victory over visiting Mercer on Wednesday evening in Humphrey Coliseum. The Bears (2-3) forced 16 turnovers and were rock solid from the free throw line for the fifth time this season, but shot just 28 percent from the field on the night. The Bulldogs (5-0), who received a handful of votes for consideration in both major national polls this week, finished off a perfect season-opening home stand with the result.
