After being given the shaft by the NCAA selection committed, Mississippi State landed a #1 seed in the NIT. The Bulldogs will kick-off the opening round with a home game matchup against Jackson State (#8). That game will be played at The Hump on Tuesday, March 16 at 9pm and will be televised by ESPNU.
Other teams in the same bracket as Mississippi State include UAB (2), South Florida (3), North Carolina (4), William & Mary (5), NC State (6), and Coastal Carolina (7).
Ole Miss was the only other SEC school in the NIT and the only other SEC West school to make it to post-season play of any kind.

State Defeats Vandy, Will Defend Title Against Wildcats

The Bulldogs played a tough game in the semi-final round of the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament in Nashville today. They came away with the win and will face Kentucky in Sunday's SEC Championship Game to defend the title from last year.
This win was crucial for Mississippi State to make it over the bubble and secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. A win tomorrow would definitely punch their ticket, but already the bracketologists are showing the Bulldogs as the last team in. But lets leave the bracket talk out of this for now and just take a look at some highlights from today's win.

Sporting News Defensive Player of the Year: Jarvis Varnado
Mississippi State also brags on the fact Jarvis is the first Division I player to record 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 blocks in a career—although that would seem to go without saying since only one other player (Louisiana-Monroe's Wojciech Myrda) reached the 500-block mark.

Know this about Varnado: He has a knack for blocking shots that you can't teach. He understands how to play the angles, keep shots in play and ensure he plays the team game defensively. His nickname, "Swat," is perfect.
