Arizona State vs. Mississippi State

Both of these teams have opened an uncontested 3-0 on the season, so this will be the first test for each squad. Mississippi State felt slighted last season as they were a 25-game winner but were left out of the NCAA Tournament. They vowed as a team that won't be the case this season. They bring back four starters and most of the pieces from that 25 win team and could go deep into the tournament this season. Bobby Hurley's Arizona State team won 20 games last year, but has lost three starters and it will have to rely on some quality, but youthful players. They may ultimately be better later in the season, but for now Mississippi State has the edge. Play Mississippi State on the moneyline.
