That is true that SC has had their number and they played a tougher OOC in 2016 than Mississippi State’s did this year. But I still stand by my statement that 2017-18 Mississippi State has had a better year than 2015-16 SC.
Mississippi State’s OOC is not amazing, but it’s not terrible either. They played a projected 2 seed, a 7, another 7, a 10 and a 9. 5 tournament teams isn’t something to brag about, but it isn’t awful either. Baylor’s OOC has just a 3 and a 4....so 2 games, plus factor in they play in a weak conference that likely gets just 3 bids.
