LOSERS
Mississippi State
Mississippi State has become the latest team to go from comfortably in to on the bubble.

Two weeks ago, the Bulldogs won their fifth consecutive game and were on their way to getting at least a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. But since then, Mississippi State has lost four in a row, capped off by an overtime loss to South Carolina on Saturday.

Josh Hubbard did his usual business for the Bulldogs with 28 points, and he even got help with three other players scoring in double figures. But the Bulldogs missed all three of their 3-point attempts (two from Hubbard) in overtime in the four-point loss

Finishing the regular season with an 8-10 conference record shows what a big disappointment the Bulldogs have been in recent weeks; They end the regular season with a 7-11 record against Quad 1 and 2 opponents. Mississippi State should remain in the projected tournament field, but it can?t afford a one-and-done experience in the SEC tournament now.
