SUMMARY: The Mississippi State men‘s basketball team’s championship aspirations were dashed as they lost 73-66 to Auburn during the SEC Tournament semifinals. Starting strong, the Bulldogs briefly led by eight before Auburn tied the game at 31 by halftime. Auburn dominated the second half with an early surge, maintaining their lead until the end. Auburn’s win featured five players scoring in double figures, while Mississippi State’s freshman Josh Hubbard scored a game-high 20 points, and Tolu Smith earned a double-double. Despite the loss, Mississippi State’s previous victories over LSU and Tennessee likely secured their NCAA Tournament spot, which will be confirmed on Selection Sunday.
