Mississippi's resume shows a blend of solid wins and a few missed opportunities that impact their tournament standing. The victory over BYU stands out as a notable win that boosts their credibility against a more formidable opponent. However, the loss to Purdue in a close game highlights a minor weakness in their ability to secure high-stakes wins. Their overall performance against weaker teams is strong, but the inconsistency in defensive rankings raises concerns about their ability to handle tougher matchups, particularly when facing teams like Auburn and Tennessee. Upcoming games against Georgia and Memphis will be critical as they have the potential to either elevate their resume with wins or expose vulnerabilities that could jeopardize their tournament position.
