Mississippi State (21-8, 9-7) lost its first game in nearly a month after winning five in a row. The Bulldogs were 4-6 in the Southeastern Conference, but made a run to get well above .500 and in place to grab the No. 4 seed in the SEC Tournament. With that fourth place spot, the Bulldogs will get a two-round-bye and won't play in the Tournament until Friday. In that position, the Bulldogs will only have to win three games in the Tournament to take home the trophy. That’s easier said than done, but this team has the talent to do just that.
