Mississippi State vs Utah predictions
Mississippi State 74, Utah 60: This is the first true test of the season for both teams that are 3-0. Utah was picked to finish last in the Big 12 preseason poll, but it took a slight step forward in 2023-24 in coach Craig Smith’s second season. Still, the Utes haven’t made the NCAA tournament since 2016. It should be a great scoring battle between Josh Hubbard and Gabe Madsen, who averages 25.3 points per game and is shooting 48.6% from 3, but the Bulldogs will prevail in front of the mostly home crowd.
