When the 2018-19 Mississippi State basketball season began, things looked pretty good early on for the Men’s team. The Bulldogs finished the nonconference portion of their schedule with a 12-1 record, and they were in a good position to put themselves in line for a solid seed in the NCAA Tournament.
But then the Mississippi State basketball team lost their first two SEC games to South Carolina on the road and Ole Miss at home. Most people thought those were going to be games the Bulldogs should win. And when they lost them, it put the team behind the eight ball ever since.
