LSU at Mississippi State

Mississippi State is 21-10 as coach Ben Howland has turned around a struggling program and the Bulldogs are holding opponents to 42.0 percent shooting, which is Howland's trademark as he's known as a defensive coach. This is quick revenge for MSU, which lost to LSU on Saturday after the Tigers had lost their two previous games to South Carolina and Georgia. LSU has been inconsistent in coach Will Wade's first year as he faced a rebuilding project of his own. Mississippi State has some fire power with Quinndary Weatherspoon leading the way with 14.7 points per game and Nick Weatherspoon adding 11.1 points. This matchup is rated nearly even by the oddsmakers, so play Mississippi State on the moneyline.
