Hubbard, Harris lead Mississippi State past West Georgia in opener

STARKVILLE — Having one volume scorer in the backcourt is nice, but Mississippi State’s offense could be that much more complete with two.

Josh Hubbard opened his sophomore season Monday night by knocking down six of his seven 3-point attempts, and unlike so much of last year, he had help. Boston College transfer Claudell Harris Jr. was 6-for-10 from deep as the Bulldogs pulled away in the second half to defeat West Georgia, 95-60.
