You might be feeling a little down in the dumps after Mississippi State was handled easily by the Alabama Crimson Tide this past weekend. And if that is the case, the pick me up you need is found in the work Ben Howland is doing to turn Mississippi State basketball around.
It was lost a little bit in the shuffle, but the Bulldogs got off to a nice start this past Friday night with a resounding 106-88 win over Eastern Washington. Just in case you were wondering, Eastern Washington is a good team. They were a 13 seed in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and are expected to make a repeat appearance this season.
