With the wins over Ole Miss and Arkansas last week, Alabama basketball is back to .500 in SEC play and will be looking to keep the momentum going on Wednesday night against Mississippi State.

The Crimson Tide and Bulldogs have already played once this season when the two teams met in Starkville on Jan. 15. Alabama held a four-point lead at halftime. It was a back-and-forth second half until Mississippi State ultimately became too much of a problem on the boards for the Crimson Tide and won 78-76.

Alabama hopes to avenge that loss when the Bulldogs make the return trip to Tuscaloosa this week.

Here's everything you need to know for when Alabama basketball hosts Mississippi State on Wednesday:
