For the first time in five years, Mississippi State can put on its dancing shoes as part of the NCAA Tournament. State will head to Dayton, Ohio to play in the First Four round of games, taking on Pitt for a chance to be the #11 seed in the Midwest Regional. The winner of that game will play the #6 seed Iowa State in Greensboro, North Carolina.
