Common opp, West Va, lost to Baylor in OT on a neutral court; State blew them out by 13 in the Hump.
+ To date, State has played much better competition
+ I like the way Moultrie has been playing offense and agressive defense>
+ Depth seems to be there with Lewis, Bryant, Steele, Sidney & Smith>
+ Getting fouled a lot; not fouling a lot>
- Playing on a neutral court but in Baylor neighborhood
- Baylor is talented; they are #6 'cause they have not lost yet, not because they have beaten anybody

What’s at stake for the Bulldogs: Mississippi State can take a major step forward in becoming a legitimate contender in the SEC with a neutral-court win over Baylor. In terms of overall talent, the Bears will be the closest match to Kentucky the Bulldogs will face over the next two months. Mississippi State can match Baylor at each position, even off the bench. A win would put the Bulldogs into top-10 range heading into the new year.
What’s at stake for the Bears: Baylor has dismissed each challenger it has faced so far this season, winning on the road at Northwestern and BYU and beating Saint Mary’s and West Virginia in Las Vegas and San Diego State at home. Mississippi State poses the final test for the Bears before Big 12 play begins, and it will be the toughest they have faced yet.
