Their encounter with Murray State's Racers was a high-scoring affair ending in an 85-81 win for the Bulldogs. A standout statistic from this game was their two-point shooting percentage at an exceptional 77 percent. This level of accuracy inside could be crucial for overcoming Alabama's defense.


The upcoming game is set for February 4th at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, AL – a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could pose challenges for visiting teams. However, Mississippi State has been showing resilience and adaptability throughout these past games which might help them counteract any home-court advantage held by the Crimson Tide.
