Mississippi State at Auburn

Mississippi State logged its first SEC win of the season against Vanderbilt Saturday 57-54. That's the only way they can compete, slowing the pace down, as it ended a three-game skid. Even in the win the team shot 38% from the field and was 3-of-12 from long range (25%). It ended a 16-game SEC drought. Mississippi State is #323 in the nation in scoring and are 5-1 UNDER the total after a victory. Auburn can play defense too. As a team, Auburn is #40 nationally in steals per game (8.0) and #55 in total steals (136). The offense, though, is erratic, shooting .365% the last game - a home win over South Carolina. Look for the offensively-challenged visitors to slow the game to a crawl in a low-scoring first half. Play the first half UNDER.
