Mississippi State moves up in latest national basketball rankings
Following Mississippi State’s 1-1 week on the basketball hardwood, the Bulldogs had some movement in the latest national basketball rankings. After being ranked No. 22 last week in the Associated Press Top 25, the Bulldogs moved up to No. 21 on Monday.
Also on Monday, Mississippi State made a return to the Top 25 in the USA Today Coaches poll. The Bulldogs were barely outside the Top 25 the previous two weeks in the USA Today Coaches poll but returned at No. 23 in Monday’s updated rankings.
Last week Mississippi State dropped an 81-68 decision to No. 2 Florida on Tuesday at Humphrey Coliseum before bouncing back to capture an 81-71 victory at No. 24 Ole Miss this past Saturday.
