Any news, predictions, or thoughts on our first conference road game coming up this monday.

Here's the only MS State message board I could locate, looks to be filled with just football discussion. mb24.scout.com/bmississippistate

I can't find MSU v LMU game on FSN prime, is this only televised for FSN south?

I don't know about FSN? I tried going through timewarner guide and couldn't find anything. I'll try to call the AD tomorrow if no one has any idea.

Collegehoopsnet ranks MSU #101 and LMU #126

USF is ranked #104 and ORU #125 to put things in better perspective. If the lions can bring in a win on hostile territory this will turn some heads.

I am pretty sure it is only televised on FSN-Southern. That is what it says on the LMU athletics site and that is what I have been hearing.

Tomorrow night's game is on Fox Sports South at 5 PM I believe. If you get the Fox sports channels from around the country, you should be able to see it. This will be a tough game to win, MSU is pretty talented and every SEC venue has a distinct home court advantage. But these aren't your typical Lions - so let them hear the ROAR in Mississippi.

Thanks for clearing that up Moose. I wonder if Fireside will have the game going, I don't get FSN South. Go Lions!

FanBlade - Try Tower (understand that there will be many students there), the Stick or Tony P's. Most sports bars carry the Fox sports channels and should be able to get it. This Moose is going to be ROAR'in tonight.

I'll be able to watch the game out here in Louisville.

Go Lions!!!

Thanks again for the info Moose.

Here is a blurb from LMU Athletics official MSU game preview.

UP NEXT
The Lions head to Mississippi State for the first meeting against the Bulldogs. It is just the fourth team from the SEC the Lions will face in program history and just the seventh game overall. The Lions are 1-5 against the SEC, earning a 62-60 win over Alabama in the 1990 Sweet 16. The Bulldogs finished the 2005-06 season at 15-15 overall and 5-11 in the SEC. They have picked by the media to finish fourth in the SEC West Division. Jamont Gordon, who averaged 13.8 points and 6.8 rebounds a year ago, is a second-team preseason All-SEC selection. In addition to Gordon, Charles Rhodes is a second-team preseason All-SEC selection by the coaches in the cocnference. The Bulldogs began the season with a 90-55 win over Nicolls.

Playing a SEC team on their home court is no easy task for any team. However, if there is a year the Lions could pull out a victory it’s this one. The Bulldogs are a young team, but talented team. These are my keys to winning to night: 1. Cut down on turnovers!
2. We need someone to step up and improve their outside shooting. 3. Grubb needs to stay out of foul trouble 4. Worthy and Knight can’t carry the team every night, we need someone to step up as a third scorer

Lastly, I like Corey as back up point guard, he looks cool and confident when he gets minutes. I’m always a little nervous when J. Monty is out there.

Go Lions !

Can some one tell me why Chris Kanne is in the game?

[golions]

Good 5-0 run to cut it to 7.

Go Lions!
