ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Miss. State, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Haslametrics has them ranked 92nd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 16-16. Of the 14 schools in the SEC (average ranking 63.3), they're currently ranked as our #12 team in the conference.

Miss. State has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #78 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Miss. State does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 28th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.10. Miss. State is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 45th in the NCAA).

Miss. State plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 124th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 104 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Miss. State allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.78, which ranks #6 in the country. Miss. State also has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 27th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 66.6% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Miss. State has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 328th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
