Score prediction for Mississippi State basketball vs the Texas Longhorns
Texas is the type of team Mississippi State can match up well against. Outside of star freshman Tre Johnson, the Longhorns have not been a good shooting team in SEC play. Their defense is lacking, they struggle to rebound, and they commit lots of fouls. That all plays well into Mississippi State's hands. The Bulldogs get a win on senior night.
