00:00 Both Mississippi State's men's and women's basketball teams are heading into the postseason,
00:03 with the men's team beginning the SEC tournament this Thursday. Meanwhile, the women's team awaits
00:08 their placement into the NCAA tournament. While both teams await their next game, here's what
00:12 they look like moving forward. The women's team has lost four of their last five games,
00:16 including a first-round exit to Texas A&M in the SEC women's basketball tournament.
00:21 The Bulldogs have struggled recently, and despite this, head coach Sam Purcell argued that their
00:25 schedule and resume deserves them a spot into the tournament. Meanwhile, the men's team will play
00:30 LSU Nashville on Thursday afternoon to begin their stand in the SEC tournament. They just lost at
00:35 home to South Carolina to close out the regular season with a 19-12 overall record. While they
00:41 were projected as a 10 seed in the NCAA tournament, how they perform in the SEC tournament can really
00:45 determine their postseason outcome heading into March Madness. Both teams need some ignition to
00:50 their offense, so they want to see some results in their postseason tournaments, so they have a lot
00:54 of work to do moving forward.
