Arkansas guard Boogie Fland and Mississippi State guard Kanye Clary are each down for the season, with each having been out for an extended period of time.
Score prediction for Mississippi State basketball vs Arkansas Razorbacks
This one will be a battle. Arkansas plays high-level defense and has gotten more out of their guards recently. But they still aren't a great shooting team and rely on their post play for much of their production. That's a matchup that's been favorable for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have been up-and-down for multiple months now, but they've managed to respond to losses decently well. They'll respond in Fayetteville.
Mississippi State wins 70-67
