The Mississippi State Bulldogs are looking to play their way off the NCAA Tournament bubble and a road win against the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday would go a long way in boosting their resume.
Mississippi State Bulldogs (-2, 133) vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
Though Vanderbilt is coming off a road win earlier in the week against Kentucky, it came at a cost with 7-foot-0 central Liam Robbins suffering a season-ending injury in the process.
Robbins leads the team in three statistical categories with 15 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game. His blocks ranked third among qualifying Division I players and were the saving grace of a defense that ranks 254th in the country in points allowed on a per possession basis.
