DeVille Smith weaved through some defenders midway through the second half and then looked up toward the basket to survey his options. Sure enough, Arnett Moultrie was cruising toward the hoop. It wasn't surprising. The big man had been around the basket all game. Smith lofted a pass toward the 6-foot-11 Moultrie, who jumped and slammed home the alley-oop with two hands. It was another easy bucket for Moultrie and Mississippi State (No. 17 ESPN/USA Today, No. 18 AP) as the Bulldogs coasted to an 82-67 victory Thursday night at the Mississippi Coliseum.
