Bulldogs v. Huskies in Opening Round

MSU will travel over 2,400 miles to take on the Washington Huskies in Portland on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs were assigned a #13 seed after winning the SEC tournament, while the Huskies won the Pac 10 regular season, earning them the #4 seed in the West pod.

It has been regarded as a down year for the SEC, but the tournament committee showed the league no love as the SEC was awarded only 3 bids - LSU (#8 seed), Tennessee (#9), and MSU.

Bulldogs defeat Webels in Oxford

Mississippi State defeated Mississippi tonight 82-80, paced by Barry Stewart's 17 points and contributions from freshman PG Dee Bost and PF Kodi Augustus, who netted 13 points each. The Dogs avenged a loss to Mississippi earlier this year in Starkville and defeated the Webels on their Senior Night in front of 9,030 at the Tad Pole.

Bulldogs defeat Florida Gators on Senior Night

The Mississippi State Bulldogs defeated Florida tonight by a score of 80-71 at The Hump in Starkville. The Bulldogs used a balanced attack and were on fire from 3-point land, making 10 of 20 from beyond the arc. For Florida, the loss may have dashed any hope they had for an invitation to the Big Dance, unless they win the SEC tourney in Tampa next week. The Bulldogs probably guaranteed themselves at least an NIT bid with their 9-point victory.
