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.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that he is concerned about wide receiver Nelson Agholor and hinted that he might reduce his role in order to get him in a better state of mind.Sometimes you have to take a step back to take a step forward, Pederson said. That way you can begin to clear your head.In a move that could be related, the Eagles signed receiver Paul Turner off their practice squad and released cornerback Aaron Grymes.Agholor made some revealing comments about his mental state following a pair of costly miscues in Sundays 25-15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.The Eagles appeared to take the lead on a 57-yard catch-and-run by tight end Zach Ertz midway through the second quarter. On the opposite side of the play, however, Agholor was whistled for an illegal formation penalty for lining up off the line of scrimmage, negating the score.On the ensuing series, Agholor dropped a perfect pass from quarterback Carson Wentz deep over the middle, stalling another drive. The Seahawks built their lead to nine over that span and clamped down on a banged-up Eagles offense the rest of the way.Ive got to get out of my own head, said Agholor. Pressing so much and worried about so much. ... Im thinking too much and so worried, and its such a selfish thing that I need to stop. I need to give my energy to my teammates and this organization and not myself, and feeling so pressured to make every single thing. Just have fun.I did it to myself. I started getting in my own head and just trying so hard to think about being perfect, and when miscues were there and they were exposed, I just let it eat at me.Agholor talked about the need to stop the mental battle he is going through.After hearing those comments, Pederson said that he is conncerned about Agholors well-being as a person.dddddddddddd He plans on having a sit-down with the 23-year-old and will not make a decision about whether to pull back on his playing time until they have that conversation.Agholor entered the game ranked 120th in receiving yards (264) and with a drop rate of 6.5 percent, which ranks 125th in the NFL, per ESPN Stats & Information research. He now has four drops on the season.Well, again, its all speculation, obviously, but I think sometimes as athletes, you put so much pressure on yourself to perform, Pederson said. Then when it maybe doesnt quite work out in your favor, [the] outside influences, i.e., the media and fans, put more pressure on you to perform [because] youre a top pick and you need to perform. All that pressure on a player is not good. So in Nelsons case, sometimes like I mentioned, sometimes maybe you have to take a step back and maybe you have to see it differently and view it differently. These are all conversations that he and I will have this week. And again, the wellbeing of the player and the person [is more important] to me than [his performance] as an athlete and receiver.Pederson said its not a matter of effort.Ive seen him trying to just do things a little out of character for him, and thats obviously a sign that maybe things are not going well for him, he said. As athletes, youve got to let the game sort of come to you, and I feel like hes maybe pressing just a little bit and trying to do things -- and hes doing everything right. Listen, hes working hard. Hes getting work after practice and doing everything right. Were just going to continue to work.
