Game Preview
On Wednesday evening, Tennessee’s 5th-ranked squad travels to Mississippi State, an SEC rival. On Saturday, the ranked 5th Volunteers (11-3 SU, 1-0 SEC) crushed the 22nd-ranked Ole Miss, winning 90-64 at home. In their conference debut, the Bulldogs (11-3 SU, 0-1 SEC) were defeated 68-62 at home by South Carolina.
In their most recent game, Mississippi State suffered greatly against South Carolina. They were behind two points at the break, and they were unable to draw even in the second half. Although he finished with 13 points, Tolu Smith was the only truly impressive player. During the season, Mississippi State’s offense averages 75.2 points per match, while their defense allows 63.1 points per contest. The defense, which is rated 20th, will need to play very well in this game because the offense has occasionally been unreliable. Josh Hubbard is enjoying a fantastic season, scoring 41.7% from the floor and averaging 14.4 points. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are pulling down 36.6 boards per game while giving up just 27% of shots from beyond the arc. Smith’s return from the Bulldogs is a welcome development.
