Mississippi State basketball is back in Starkville for a huge Tuesday night matchup. The #21 Bulldogs (18-7, 6-6) play host to the #7 Texas A&M Aggies (20-5, 9-3). State has some momentum coming off their big win in Oxford, and they're eager to finally take down one of the SEC's top teams. The Aggies come in having won 5-straight and are one of the nation's best. Can MSU get the signature win?

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Texas A&M Aggies injury report
The injury report is essentially clean for both squads ahead of the matchup. Texas A&M has no players listed, and for Mississippi State, just guard Kanye Clary, who's out for the season and has been for weeks, appears on the report. This might as well be a game played at full-strength for both sides.
Mississippi State basketball vs Texas A&M score prediction
There's a chance for this one to be a rock fight. Texas A&M plays elite defense but isn't a great shooting team. They thrive off of offensive rebounds for second chance points and free throws while suffocating their opponents, but they have at times been susceptible to allowing the 3-ball. I think this could be a solid matchup for State. I believe they can challenge A&M's physicality, and I like State's shooters to have a good night on the perimeter. The Bulldogs get that signature win and lock up a tournament berth.
