Bulldog fans had high hopes for Mississippi State basketball entering this season, but reality has quickly set in that those hopes look likely to be crushed. The Bulldogs dropped to 2-2 after a blowout, 98-77 loss to Kansas State in the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City Thursday night. They'll face New Mexico in the Classic's third-place game Friday evening.
The Mississippi State defense is full-on bad
The offseason goal for State was to get back to playing the brand of defense expected from a Chris Jans team. After four games, that venture has failed miserably.
