Mississippi State is playing a better brand of basketball of late having won three of its last five outings.
The Bulldogs have been on the road for the last two games but get a chance to return to Humphrey Coliseum today taking on South Carolina at 1:30 p.m. on SEC Network.
“In my opinion, the toughest and most physical team in our league is South Carolina,” said MSU coach Ben Howland. “If I were an NCAA Tournament team here in a few weeks I would not want to play against the Gamecocks. They are so tough and physical.
