MSU looks to bounce back against Texas A&M
Saturday's home game against the Texas A&M Aggies is a big opportunity for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
After coming up short in a 66-64 overtime loss to Missouri on Tuesday, MSU head coach Chris Jans knows his team let one of the building blocks to the postseason standing slip away.
The Bulldogs look to bounce back against the Aggies at Humphrey Coliseum. The 2:30 p.m. tip will be televised by SEC Network.
MSU has records of 18- 10 overall and 6- 9 in the Southeastern Conference with only three more regular season games left and the conference tournament to get in the best position possible for a case to make the NCAA Tournament.
“We're just trying to control what we can control,” Jans said earlier this week. “I know that's a cliche', but I think that's all you can do. What I do like is we are in control of our own situation.”
It won't be easy to pick up a win against Texas A&M, which has shot up the SEC Standings this season with a 13-2 league record. The Aggies are 21-7 overall. “They have all of the glossy numbers,” Jans said. “They are playing awfully well. It will be a big, big opportunity for us.” Texas A&M sports this week's SEC Player of the Week in guard Wade Taylor.

Advocates for low-income women say extending that coverage could reduce maternal mortality.
But Republican lawmakers killed a bill in this year’s legislative session that would have let mothers keep Medicaid coverage for a year after giving birth. Asked whether it could save lives, House Speaker Phillip Gunn said “that has not been a part of the discussions that I’ve heard.”
