Texas A&M opens conference play on the road against Mississippi State at 7PM on Thursday.
This begins Texas A&M's 8th season in the SEC and Mississippi State's 25th. Despite that disparity, Texas A&M still owns 12 more SEC wins than Mississippi State does all-time (55-43). Texas A&M is also the only SEC team that Mississippi State hasn't defeated. The Aggies are 7-0 all-time against the Bulldogs.
And in one more impressive feat of awfulness: MSU is 0-2 all-time in SEC Tournament play. Yes, that means Mississippi State has only played in the conference tournament twice in history. While the Bulldogs missed last season's conference tournament with a 2-6-2 conference record, they somehow limped into their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance... where they were promptly booted by Lipscomb.
The Bulldogs are 5-3 on the season. Their wins came over teams that you probably couldn't locate on a map: Alabama A&M (4-0), Eastern Washington (1-0), Idaho (2-1), UT Martin (3-0), and South Alabama (1-0). Losses came against more notable teams such as BYU (1-2), Memphis (0-4), and Boston College (0-2). If we're comparing common games, Mississippi State does get the edge with the 1-2 result vs. BYU.
Overall, the Bulldogs have outscored opponents 12-9. 5 of those goals have come from #10 Macayla Waldner - that includes 3 gamewinners. Gabby English has seen the most minutes in goal, allowing 7 goals and registering 21 saves through 559 (of 720) minutes of play. Mississippi State has 2 shutouts on the season.
