CBB | Miss. St. 49 @ Alabama 72 | 03/10 | 6:00 PM UTC
Alabama -7 -110
WIN
ANALYSIS: Mississippi State has been doing a great job of grinding out wins with its aggressive defense and top-end offensive rebounding, going 8-3 since Jan. 28 with quality wins over Arkansas, TCU and Texas A&M. But at some point you have to make shots when you play a team like Alabama, and shot-making is not the strength of this Mississippi State team. While the Bulldogs might start hot with some confidence coming off the OT win on Thursday, the top seeds are the top seeds for a reason and I'll take the Tide over 40 minutes to cover the spread.
