Utah, Mississippi State Have Common Goal: Back-to-Back Wins

Utah holds a 7-3 record and leads in shooting efficiency while Mississippi State ranks ninth in SEC offensive rebounds, setting up a key test before conference games.

  • On Saturday, Mississippi State Bulldogs will face Utah Utes at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, 10 p.m. EST.
  • Statistically, Utah Utes' offense stands out with 46.3% shooting this season while Mississippi State Bulldogs rank ninth in the SEC with 10.3 offensive rebounds per game, led by Shawn Jones Jr. averaging 2.3.
  • Top scorers to watch include Utah's Terrence Brown, who averages 21.6 points per game, while Mississippi State's Josh Hubbard's status is unclear despite a 21.2 ppg average and 59 consecutive starts.
  • Momentum is on the line as Utah Utes seek a win streak for the first time since a 5-0 start, while Mississippi State Bulldogs have not won consecutive games and Don McHenry, Utah, averages 2.1 made 3-pointers.
  • Historically, the matchup is notable because Alex Jensen, head coach of Utah, and Scott Padgett, Bulldogs assistant coach, played against each other in the 1998 NCAA title game; the preview was produced by Associated Press using Data Skrive and Sportradar.
