Mississippi State basketball has righted the ship, having won consecutive games against ranked opponents. The #21 Bulldogs (19-7, 7-6) look to turn two-straight wins into three on Saturday on the road against the Oklahoma Sooners (16-10, 3-10).
Oklahoma got off to a 13-0 start to the season with some fantastic wins, but they've had a rough go of it in SEC play. They've lost five-straight and now find themselves fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives.
State is trying to stay hot, and Oklahoma is hoping to save their season. Here's how to watch...

Mississippi State basketball vs Oklahoma Sooners score prediction
You could label this as a trap game for Mississippi State, going on the road against a desperate team after consecutive big wins. And despite OU's struggles, one of things they can do well is shoot the three-ball, which has been an issue for the MSU defense. That said, the Bulldogs have been great on the road this season, and they seem to be peaking at the right time while the Sooners look on the verge of quitting. I'll trust State to keep things rolling.
