Mississippi State Bulldogs news: SEC basketball starts tonight, bowl games, and more

The Mississippi State Bulldogs take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in their first SEC basketball matchup of the year.

The Mississippi State basketball team has had one of its best starts in school history, but the Bulldogs are going to have their work cut off for them tonight night vs. one of the best SEC basketball teams in the country, the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Wednesday night’s SEC matchup between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide will be an AP Top 25 matchup. The Bulldogs are now ranked No. 21 in the AP top 25 poll, and the Crimson Tide are No. 8 in the latest rankings.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs have not played the same level of opponents as the Alabama Crimson Tide. With the Crimson Tide only losing 2 of their 12 games, I would say Alabama has a slight advantage. I do think having this game at the Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Mississippi will make a huge difference in the outcome of this basketball game.

College football teams continue to honor Mike Leach.

The Arkansas Razorbacks will take on the Kansas Jayhawks tonight at 4:30 p.m. CT/5:30 p.m. ET in the Autozone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Arkansas football team tweeted yesterday that they would be honoring Coach Mike Leach in the Autozone Liberty Bowl. The Razorbacks will be wearing a sticker with the word “MIKE” on the back of their helmets. The “I” in “MIKE” is in the form of a cowbell with pirate swords in the middle.

More and more teams continue to honor former Mississippi State Bulldogs’ head coach, Mike Leach.
