The Mississippi State Bulldogs are the better team and have the horses to blow the doors off here, but South Dakota isn’t terrible and has a couple of players who can take over offensively. Also, this is a possible look ahead spot for Mississippi State with Marquette on deck. Lot of points when you consider South Dakota will be the more motivated side. Give me the points.
