Outside of No. 1 South Carolina, Mississippi State women's basketball is the hottest team in the SEC. With Sunday's 74-63 win at Texas A&M, MSU has won four straight, with three of those wins coming away from Humphrey Coliseum.

As has been the case throughout the winning streak, role players were a big reason for the Bulldogs' success against the Aggies (15-6, 3-5 SEC). MSU coach Sam Purcell got contributions from players outside of guard Jerkaila Jordan and center Jessika Carter throughout the afternoon.

Darrione Rogers scored five of her 18 points in the second quarter to help MSU (19-5, 6-3 SEC) build an eight-point lead at halftime. Erynn Barnum, after A&M out-scored Mississippi State by five in the third, scored the first eight points for MSU in the fourth en route to a 22-point outing. Lauren Park-Lane, who attempted just three shots, recorded eight of her 10 points in the final five minutes to close things out.

After losing back-to-back contests against Vanderbilt and South Carolina to open conference play, Mississippi State has won six of seven. The Bulldogs are now tied with LSU and Ole Miss, two teams MSU has beaten, for third in the SEC standings.
