00:00Mississippi State ranked 21st in the country after a huge road rivalry win

00:05over the weekend at Ole Miss. Hosting a very hot Texas A&M team ranked seventh

00:11in the country. The sixth overall seed according to that early bracket preview

00:15on Saturday afternoon and winners of five in a row. Well that win streak for

00:20Buzz Williams and his Aggies coming to an end last night in Stark Vegas.

00:25Mississippi State with a great defensive second half and a 25 point

00:30performance from Donnie's guy Josh Hubbard picks up a huge home win. The

00:35Bulldogs cover as a two and a half point home favorite. Total of 144 and a hook on

00:40the rise throughout Tuesday afternoon. Never even gets close as Mississippi

00:45State gets a huge conference victory at home. Yeah 36% from three-point range

00:50here with volume for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Actually thought they

00:52would shoot maybe a little bit better even more three-point shots because

00:55Texas A&M will allow that but the game was won here in the turnover battle. 19

00:59turnovers on the road for Texas A&M. That's always gonna spell doom

01:03specifically when the other team only turns it over 11 times. It's effectively

01:06eight more shots that you're going to be able to get up at that point but also

01:09understand this it was the defense for Mississippi State that held true. Only

01:1336% as a team for Texas A&M in that game which included 34% from the

01:18three-point line and more importantly only 61% converted from the free-throw

01:22line and they only got 13 total attempts. So for Mississippi State to

01:25win a game at home by 16 points and shoot 43% as a team that's a really good

01:31look because the calling card for Mississippi State isn't shooting a lot

01:34of three-point shots with volume and making a ton of those. It's really playing

01:37good defense and that's what they did last night. They played really good

01:40defense and they won.
