Mississippi State basketball opens the SEC Tournament as the 10-seed with a first-round matchup against 15-seed LSU on Wednesday in Nashville.
The Bulldogs (20-11, 8-10) slipped outside the top half of the SEC regular season standings with close losses last week to Texas and Arkansas.
LSU (14-17, 3-15) is on a five-game losing streak and has won just three games away from home this season.
Wednesday’s winner faces 7-seed Missouri on Thursday in the second round.

Clarion Ledger reporter Sam Sklar’s prediction: Mississippi State 78, LSU 71
Neither team is playing well entering the postseason, including the Bulldogs, who lost four of their past five games. They still should win as long as the defense holds up and they get some secondary scoring.
