Vic Schaefer has his 7th ranked Mississippi State basketball team up in Fayetteville, Arkansas for the first game of the year. It’s not the first game of MSU’s season, obviously, but the Bulldogs are getting 2019, and their SEC schedule, started by taking on the Arkansas Razorbacks.
As the Mississippi State basketball team wrapped up its non-conference schedule, the Bulldogs ended 2018 with a decent amount of momentum. Vic Schaefer and MSU were handed their first loss of the season when they went on up to Eugene, Oregon for a game against the Oregon Ducks, but MSU responded well.
