Tonight’s Mississippi State basketball game isn’t necessarily a battle for the SEC, but it might as well be. The two teams squaring off in Humphrey Coliseum this evening, Mississippi State and South Carolina, are the two best teams in the SEC and have been over the past few seasons.
This has become a rivalry that has decided the Southeastern Conference in recent years and likely will again this season.
This particular game isn’t the end-all-be-all for the Bulldogs, but it is pretty important. If the Mississippi State basketball team doesn’t win tonight, the Bulldogs could very well have a difficult time overtaking the South Carolina Gamecocks down the stretch of the season.
