The Mississippi State Bulldogs received votes in the AP Preseason Top 25 that was released on Monday.
Kentucky is the only SEC Team Ranked being #2 in the Country. Florida receives 18 votes, Mississippi State and Texas A&M both receive 14 votes and Vanderbilt rounds out the poll receiving one vote.
So the AP Top 25 expects the SEC Basketball Standings to be something like this:
- Kentucky
- Florida
- Texas A&M
If Mississippi State does indeed finish in the top 5 of the SEC, It would be a huge step for Second Year Head Coach Ben Howland as the majority of his team this year is freshmen.
