Isn’t all of that great? It’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on what’s going on in the world of Mississippi State basketball while you try not to focus on all of the tasks and responsibilities that you need to take care of!

So, don’t think about what you’ve got to do for the rest of the afternoon (or evening) and take a nice relaxing break goinv through some Mississippi State basketball stuff.

Oh, but the Mississippi State basketball team lost last night. And then Nick Weatherspoon got hurt during the game. So, uh, maybe this won’t be so enjoyable.

But hey. try and enjoy your break anyways! And if you’re not on a break right now, don’t let your boss see you neglecting your work! Unless you’re your own boss. Then it doesn’t really matter so much.

Welp, the Bulldogs lost another SEC road game that was very winnable:

• Mississippi State basketball: Bulldogs falter against Alabama– Last night’s game against the Alabama Crimson Tide should have been a very winnable game for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Instead, MSU fell short and lost another SEC contest that it should have come out on top of.
• Mississippi State basketball: Nick Weatherspoon to have MRI on left knee– The worst part of last night’s game is that Nick Weatherspoon got injured. Yes, it sucks that the Bulldogs lost a game that they should have won, but losing Weatherspoon is: 1. potentially more harmful to the outcome of this season and 2. frustrating because Nick has been hurt a few different times before. You hate to see such a young player deal with injuries like he has.
• Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland on loss to Alabama– The Clarion Ledger’s Tyler Horka got some video of last night’s press conference following the loss to Alabama. It’s worth a view and you can check it out right up there.

In case you missed it from Maroon and White Nation:

• Mississippi State basketball: Bulldogs beat Ole Miss for 10th-straight time– Over on the Mississippi State women’s basketball side of things, the Bulldogs keep cruising and keep crushing! That’s good! MSU will play LSU tomorrow evening as the Bulldogs look to remain undefeated in SEC play.
• Brian Baker leaves Mississippi State football days after contract extension– In case you somehow missed this bombshell news, Brian Baker is ditching the Bulldogs for the Alabama Crimson Tide. This somehow makes last night’s loss to Alabama even worse, but also the Bulldogs just lost one of their better recruiters and a great defensive line coach. Oh, and all of this comes just after he signed a contract extension.
• Will Brian Baker’s decision impact Mississippi State football recruiting Nathan Pickering?– The short answer: no. At least that’s what Nathan Pickering himself said on Twitter.

Here, enjoy a song:

Last night’s game wasn’t great. Loving Mississippi State basketball (or just Mississippi State sports in general) can be a huge emotional burden. So, you know, this song choice kinda makes sense. I’ve probably included it before, but I’m going to include it again because last night’s loss was awful.
