[quote quote=29600]As discussed under another thread, Mississippi State guard Quinndary Weatherspoon has been sidelined for the season with a wrist injury that includes torn ligaments. The sophomore guard had led the team in scoring (18.8) and was second in rebounding (5.0). It makes you wonder if KenPom took his absence into consideration when awarding MS a 4 point favorite. That said, there’s still plenty to fear when taking on the Bulldogs.[/quote]

Pomeroy makes no adjustment for injuries. MS State’s ranking isn’t particularly high for a couple of reasons: (1) they lost three senior starters from a team that finished 11th in the SEC last year; and (2) they have had a few very mediocre performances thus far – a 4-point home win over a Norfolk State team that was missing its best player, and a 24-point neutral court loss to UCF.

I think LU has a very good chance to win this one.
