We’re starting SEC play off with a decent challenge. Mississippi State (11-2) isn’t the strongest team we’ll face the rest of the year, but aside from NC State (and supposedly Columbia) they will be the strongest team we have faced thus far. While not impossible we pull it out, especially coming off a great game and a week of rest, it will be an uphill battle the entire way.
The first thing that pops out to me, and I expect this to be a common trend going forward, is the depth Mississippi State has. The minutes are distributed much more evenly between Mississippi State’s 13 players than between our 9 players.
