What to Know

The Mississippi State Bulldogs will take on the Detroit Titans at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Humphrey Coliseum. The Bulldogs will be strutting in after a win while Detroit will be stumbling in from a defeat.

MSU simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday, as they easily beat the Montana Grizzlies at home 86-49. MSU got double-digit scores from four players: guard Iverson Molinar (16), forward D.J. Jeffries (15), guard Shakeel Moore (15), and guard Cameron Matthews (11).

Meanwhile, Detroit came up short against the Toledo Rockets on Saturday, falling 81-73.

MSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 16.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Bulldogs are now a perfect 2-0 while the Titans sit at a mirror-image 0-2. A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: MSU have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 30.20%, which places them second in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, Detroit has allowed their opponents to shoot 51.60% from the floor on average, which is the 349th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against Detroit.
