STARKVILLE, Miss. — Shay Holle scored all of her season-high 16 points in the second half, and No. 1 Texas edged Mississippi State 68-64 on Thursday night in coach Vic Schaefer's return to Starkville. Schaefer's team won its 12th straight game, this one against the team he coached from 2012-20 — but the Bulldogs didn't make it easy. Holle matched her career high of four 3-pointers as Texas pulled in front by 10 points in the fourth quarter after trailing by one at halftime. Jerkaila Jordan had 14 points to lead Mississippi State.
