How To Watch: Tennessee vs. Mississippi State

Tennessee basketball gears up for a road challenge at Mississippi State, looking for a rebound after their first SEC loss.

Successful March teams pride themselves on coming off tough regular-season losses correctly. Tennessee had a misstep against Kentucky, but that one game doesn't define their season.

Basketball isn't football. Every team will suffer losses and challenging moments over a season, but weathering the lows and responding is critical. The Volunteers get Mississippi State again after blowing them out a few games ago.

The Bulldogs (12-5) are a solid defensive team currently in a tough stretch of their own. They have dropped three of the past four, with losses against Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia, and Auburn.

It won't be easy getting into the win column against Tennessee. They had one of their worst offensive outputs against Kentucky and still managed to make things interesting in the final two minutes.

Head coach Rick Barnes underscored that Saturday's game doesn't define them. The group recognizes it as an opportunity to gather together and move forward even stronger than before.
