Texas A&M-Corpus Christi faces Southeast Missouri State, and Mississippi State squares off with Pittsburgh in Tuesday’s First Four games.
Expect more of a rock fight in Tuesday’s second game, particularly when the Bulldogs have the ball. Mississippi State operates at a snail’s pace and was the worst three-point shooting team in the nation during the regular season . It would rather get the ball inside to 6-11 big man Tolu Smith . Mississippi State also is poor from the foul line, making only 64.7 percent of its attempts .
The Panthers went from nearly winning the ACC regular season title to almost missing the NCAA tournament, which might be more an indictment of the conference than anything else. They last were seen getting clobbered by Duke in the ACC tournament and have lost three of four. Pittsburgh has given up at least 1.13 points per possession in each of its past six games, so Mississippi State may be able to score despite its shooting deficiencies.
