State looks to extend its record to 20-5 today and finish out a 3 game homestand 3-0. A win today would be huge, especially if State can get two on the road next week and go into the Kentucky game at 22-5. One game at a time though, and that starts today. If you can't make it to today's game (like us), come here and talk about the game (with us).

A few notes on today's game:
- The expected lineup, as it has been, is Renardo Sidney, Dee Bost, Brian Bryant, Arnett Moultrie, and Rodney Hood.
- This is the last game in a 3-game homestand for State. The dawgs will resume road play Tuesday as they travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU. Tip is set for 8 pm Central and the game will be televised on ESPNU.
- From the official game notes... A win Saturday would give MSU its 17th 20-plus win season in school history. Of the 16, eight have come on Rick Stansbury's watch. Even I have to say that's impressive.
- The last time Georgia came to the Hump? State came from 11 down with under 6 minutes to play to defeat the red and black dawgs 72-69. Here's the video from that matchup (warning: excessive Jarvis Varnado defensive in this footage)
