Mississippi State vs. Texas basketball: How to Watch and Listen, Betting Odds, Injury Report and Predictions
Last Saturday was a return to the win column for Mississippi State after the Bulldogs had dropped back-to-back in SEC play.
State used a big second half to come from behind and take down LSU 81-69. The victory avoided any chance at the team’s first Quad III loss of the season and got the Bulldogs their 20th win of the year. It also continued State’s push towards a solid seed in the NCAA Tournament in a couple of weeks.
With two games remaining, the Bulldogs are going to have a Quad II game on Tuesday night against Texas and a Quad I on the road against Arkansas. Neither will severely damage the Bulldogs’ NCAA chances, but State can continue to build a strong resume with wins and grab good position in the SEC Tournament next week as well.
Who: Texas (16-13, 5-11 SEC) vs. No. 25 Mississippi State (20-9, 8-8 SEC)
When: Tuesday, March 4, 7:00 p.m. CT
Where: Humphrey Coliseum, Starkville, Miss.
How to Watch and Listen:
TV: Tuesday’s game is on SEC Network with Roy Philpott (Play-by-Play) and Mark Wise (Color) on the call.

Injury Report:
State has a clean bill of health outside of Kanye Clary’s season-ending injury. Texas will be without junior guard Chendall Weaver and starter Tramon Mark is listed as questionable.
Weaver has been out for the majority of SEC play and hasn’t played since the Auburn game on January 7. Mark is questionable for the game with a back issue but hasn’t missed any action lately and there’s no indication to this point that he will miss Tuesday, either.
