Well, Vanderbilt basketball is off to an 0-2 start in SEC play, but has another shot at ending the losing today. The Mississippi State Bulldogs come to town for a noon CT tip on the SEC Network. Vanderbilt is coming off a near-miss at Kentucky on Tuesday night, while Mississippi State drilled Missouri at home — so, this probably won’t be easy, but then I had Mississippi State picked to finish last in the conference in the preseason.
On Friday, Jerry Stackhouse had some injury updates: Clevon Brown is close to returning, while Issac McBride, it seems, is going to be out for a while.
