STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s basketball saw its five-game winning streak come to an end last week, and it has turned into a two-game skid.
However, despite losses at home against Florida and at Ole Miss, the Bulldogs (20-7, 7-5 SEC) haven’t taken a hit in the NCAA Tournament projections.
MSU returns home Thursday for a contest against Kentucky before entering a two-game road stretch with matchups against Alabama and Auburn. Mississippi State closes its regular season slate on March 3 with a home contest against Missouri.
Here’s a look at Mississippi State’s résumé and where the Bulldogs sit in the latest projection as March Madness approaches.
