A pair of SEC rivals take the floor in the Magnolia State looking to put a game in the win column as they collide here. The #8 Auburn Tigers are on the road as they make the trip west to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs Saturday afternoon. Auburn was in action on the road as they faced Alabama in a battle of schools from the Yellowhammer State Wednesday night, falling 79-75, though they pushed the line as a four-point underdog. Mississippi State was on the road in the swamp as they battled Florida Wednesday night in their previous contest, falling 79-70 and failing to cover the line as a 3.5-point underdog.
