Ben Howland had a chance to pick up his first win in the Southeastern Conference at home on Wednesday but fell one point shy against No. 21 Texas A&M.
Howland’s next opportunity comes today as Mississippi State travels to Arkansas for a 2:30 p.m. tip on the SEC Network.
However, earning a win at Bud Walton Arena has been easier said than done for the Bulldogs. MSU is just 5-20 all-time in the venue with its last win coming in 2011.
Howland is familiar with Bud Walton Arena, having coached there once before during the 1997 National Invitation Tournament while at Northern Arizona.
