Coming off of back-to-back wins over previously top 20 teams, No. 24 Mississippi State took a step back over the weekend.

The Bulldogs went to Oklahoma to take on a Sooners team that was just 3-10 in the SEC and they gave the home team life. 59 points in the second half led to a disappointing 93-87 loss for State.

It was a frustrating revert back to where State was prior to the Ole Miss game and now sends the Bulldogs into a lion’s den on Tuesday night.

Injury Report:

State has a clean bill of health outside of Kanye Clary’s season-ending injury. The Crimson Tide will be without Derrion Reid. The freshman has averaged 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this year but didn’t play in the two games last week dealing with a leg injury.

Bama has been playing without Latrell Wrightsell Jr. and Houston Mallette most of the season and starting post player Grant Nelson entered the injury report on Monday but is listed as probable. Nelson is expect to play barring a surprise.
