Projected seed: 10

Mississippi State has showcased a competitive season, highlighted by notable victories against teams like Memphis and Texas A&M, demonstrating their capability to contend against strong opponents. However, their inconsistency is a concern, particularly with losses to higher-ranked teams like Kentucky and Alabama, which reveal vulnerabilities, especially in high-pressure situations. The disparity in offensive and defensive rankings suggests an imbalance that can be troubling come tournament time, and their schedule has presented limited opportunities to bolster their resume significantly. Their ability to secure more high-quality wins in the remaining games is essential for improving their seeding and tournament standing.
