Clarion Ledger reporter Sam Sklar's prediction: Mississippi State 77, Baylor 73

It should be a fascinating battle between Hubbard and Edgecombe, but the difference here is Baylor's lack of 3-point shooting. The Bulldogs are 2-10 when allowing at least 10 3-pointers; Baylor made 10 3's just three times in conference play.
