What to Know

The Mississippi State Bulldogs and the #25 Texas A&M Aggies are even-steven against one another since January of 2016 (5-5), but not for long. MSU and the Aggies will face off in an SEC battle at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Humphrey Coliseum. A&M will be strutting in after a win while MSU will be stumbling in from a defeat.

MSU lost 66-64 to the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday on a last-minute half-court bomb from Mizzou's guard Nick Honor with 0:04 left to play. Guard Dashawn Davis wasn't much of a difference maker for the Bulldogs; Davis finished with only seven points on 2-for-11 shooting in his 36 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, A&M didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday, but they still walked away with a 68-63 victory. It was another big night for the Aggies' guard Wade Taylor IV, who had 25 points.

Barring any buzzer beaters, MSU is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

MSU is now 18-10 while A&M sits at 20-7. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: MSU have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.80%, which places them fifth in college basketball. The Aggies are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 40.30%, which places them 21st in college basketball.
