10. Georgia Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 10

Georgia remains in the No. 10 spot this week, as the Bulldogs now sit at 14-9 overall, as well as 4-6 in SEC play. The Bulldogs would drop both games this past week, falling on the road to Auburn on Wednesday, 94-73, as well as at Texas A&M on Saturday, 82-57.

The Bulldogs will now return home for a pair of games this week, the first of which comes Tuesday night against Ole Miss, whom Georgia previously defeated back on January 14, 62-58. Georgia will then host Kentucky on Saturday.

9. Mississippi State Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 9

Coming in at No. 9 is Mississippi State (15-8 overall, 3-7 in SEC), with the Bulldogs making it six consecutive teams to begin the rankings that remain in their previous spot from last week’s update. Despite remaining in their previous spot, the Bulldogs did however have an impressive week, one that included a 66-51 midweek win at South Carolina, as well as a 63-52 home win over Missouri on Saturday.

Now on a three-game winning streak that dates back to January 28, the Bulldogs will remain at home Wednesday night, as LSU comes to Starkville. Mississippi State will then travel to Arkansas on Saturday.
