Mississippi State will look to pull off the upset against top-seeded USC on Monday in the NCAA Women’s College Basketball Tournament.
The NCAA Women’s College Tournament continues on Monday afternoon as the ninth-seeded Mississippi State Bulldogs take on the top-seeded USC Trojans at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.

Madina Okot and Eniya Russell led the Bulldogs offense with 14 points each, while Jerkaila Jordan added 10 points to the scoreboard.
