Troy-Mississippi St. Preview

Mississippi State is on a mission -- the Final Four. And the fact is, the Bulldogs have a golden opportunity this year to make it to Dallas.

The second-seeded Bulldogs will take their first step on their home floor Friday when they host 15th-seeded Troy.

The seventh-ranked Bulldogs earned the right to stay in Starkville for the first two rounds thanks to a 29-4 season and second-place finish behind South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference. The home court should be a definite advantage against first-round opponent Troy -- MSU only has lost once in 11 games inside Humphrey Coliseum.
