Randy’s Free Pick
Neither team has been good in conference play, and I’m not excited to back either team here. However, Mississippi State is at home, where it wins by an average of 12 points and allows 38.8 percent shooting. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are also probably the more talented team from top to bottom. The line is reasonable. Give me Miss State.
