The Bulldogs are part of the Oklahoma City Region and will host DePaul, Northern Iowa, and Troy. The games will start this Friday, with Mississippi State facing off with Troy first.

Baylor is the number 1 seed in the Oklahoma City Region and they’ll obviously be the toughest matchup for the Bulldogs. However, should State get past them, there’s no doubt that Mississippi State could make it to the Final Four where they’d meet up with UConn (because nobody is beating UConn before then) in Dallas.
