The SEC's Worst Losses: Mississippi State

Vanderbilt's tour through the basement of SEC basketball ends on Tuesday when it plays 10-14 Mississippi State.

Vanderbilt improved its NCAA Tournament resume - and gained some breathing room in the SEC standings - by routing Missouri and Auburn last week. Can the Commodores keep their momentum moving when they travel to Starkville on Tuesday?

Vandy will face a 10-14 Mississippi State team currently in the fourth year of an arduous rebuilding process. The Bulldogs have struggled through 2015-16 despite the occasionally brilliant play of Gavin Ware. The senior forward is one of the nation's most efficient scorers and has made nearly 63 percent of his shots this season.
