Mississippi State is looking for its second straight win as struggling Prairie View A&M heads to Starkville, Miss., for a Sunday afternoon showdown. The Bulldogs (7-1) fell out of the AP Top 25 poll this week after an 87-77 setback to Butler last Friday at the Arizona Classic. Mississippi State rebounded with a decisive 90-57 home win over No. 18 Pittsburgh on Wednesday, led by reserve KeShawn Murphy's 20 points and Michael Nwoko's double-double (18 points, 11 rebounds). If the Bulldogs take care of business on Sunday, the presumption is they will rejoin next week's poll. "I didn't know (what the response would be)," Mississippi State coach Chris Jans said.
