DOVER, Del. (AP) — Starr Jacobs scored 18 points, Madison Scott added 13 and No. 19 Mississippi beat Delaware State 80-42 on Thursday.
It was a homecoming game — sort of — for Scott, who grew up about 100 miles away from Dover in Indian Head, Maryland.
Freshman Sira Thienou and Kennedy Todd-Williams also scored 13 points for Ole Miss (2-1). Todd-Williams grabbed a team-high nine rebounds to help the Rebels outrebound Delaware State 38-21.
The Rebels were coming off an 85-24 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Sunday, allowing the fewest points in a game in program history. It also tied the third-widest win margin in program history.
Kiarra Mcelrath scored 13 points and Mahogany Cottingham added 10 for Delaware State (1-3). The Hornets turned it over 23 times leading to 30 Mississippi points.
Delaware State’s fellow Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference member, Coppin State, played at No. 1 South Carolina later Thursday.
