Here’s everything you need to keep up with the Mississippi State basketball game as the No. 7 Bulldogs host the No. 15 South Carolina Gamecocks.

Arguably the biggest game in the SEC’s slate of women’s basketball games is happening tonight in Starkville, Mississippi. The Mississippi State basketball team is hosting the South Carolina Gamecocks and these two teams are both looking to get a leg up on the race to win the conference this season.

The Bulldogs and the Gamecocks are both aiming to claim the Southeastern Conference this year and these two teams have been the best in the SEC over the past few seasons. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see either of these teams come out on top.

Mississippi State claimed the regular season title a season ago and South Carolina edged MSU out for the SEC Tournament title last season. So, either the Gamecocks or the Bulldogs could go the distance in the SEC this season and nobody would be shocked.

There’s a very real possibility that MSU may have taken a step ahead of the Gamecocks last season. If so, then the Bulldogs should be able to take another jump forward this year as well.
