It will be the second meeting between the two teams this month, with the Vols picking up a 90-80 win against the Bulldogs in Starkville three weeks ago. “That’s why I’m trying to give the perspective of what’s up,” MSU head coach Sam Purcell said. “We’re possibly playing two Final Four teams, probably two Elite Eight, four Sweet Sixteens… it’s crazy, right? We’ve just got to learn from an inexperienced group what it takes to win these Top-25 games night in and night out. “That’s what I’m most proud about with those two, they are bought-in night in and night out,” Purcell continued.
