How To Watch: Mississippi State Men's Basketball at Texas A&M
STARKVILLE, Miss - The Mississippi State Bulldogs have lost back-to-back games against ranked opponents No. 11 Auburn and No. 16 Kentucky but their bit into the dance in March seems to be in good spirits.
They will be on the road again for their last away game of the season against Texas A&M. Despite the Aggie's record, a victory for State would mean another quad-one victory to boost their bid for the NCAA Tournament. Some victories against opponents in the SEC tournament will also help with the Bulldogs case.
Mississippi State began to peak around the right time before suffering the two more recent losses, but the Bulldogs are a resilient group and will fight on any given night.
