The Bears grabbed a brief 11-9 lead when Nathan Scheer hit a shot with 13:45 remaining, but a three pointer by Marcellous Bell put the Dolphins back on top 14-11 with 11:18 to play. They never trailed again in the opening half, going up by as many as seven.
Senior Anthony Downing has eight points to lead MSU, while McDougald has seven to pace Jacksonville.
