The Mississippi State basketball team will travel to The Pavilion in Oxford, MS on Saturday to take on the OIe Miss Rebels. The game will tip off at 2:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.
When the game tips, the Mississippi State team will be playing with a Nike basketball. Why is this noteworthy?
Some time after the Kentucky game and before the game against Alabama, guard Nick Weatherspoon was asked about how the Mississippi State basketball team will have games where they don’t shoot the ball well at all. Surprisingly, Nick Weatherspoon mentioned there have been times when the Bulldogs played with the Nike basketball and it was really slick.
