How To Watch: Mississippi State vs. No. 17 South Carolina

It is the final game of the season for the Bulldogs, and it is a must-win.

STARKVILLE, Miss - The Mississippi State Bulldogs have been on the road for their past two games and will finish the season at home against No. 17 South Carolina. 

This is a must-win for the Bulldogs as they have hopes to dance in the NCAA tournament, but they have dropped their past three games. Each loss has hurt their chances of improving seeding for the tournament but a win against the Gamecocks can boost their resume. Victories against Tennessee, Auburn, and Washington State are good wins but some of the losses have been bad. 

MSU has not been the best on the road, but they play their best basketball at home with a 6-2 record in SEC play. They will look to end the regular season on a high note with another ranked win.
