Typically with these GameDay posts I’ve taken some time to revisit the series history between the two teams. When it comes to Mississippi, a place forlorn mostly of misery, it’s never pretty. Mizzou has beaten Mississippi State just five times in the series history which dates back to 1974. But after winning four of the first five, Mizzou has won just once in the last 12 tries, including losses in the last seven games. The last win was an overtime win in 2018 (you may remember a clutch 3-pointer from Kevin Puryear in Overtime, or the nearly epic 12 point lead that collapsed down the stretch of regulation).
