Mississippi Valley State vs Kansas State Preview

After getting ransacked by Texas on Saturday in Austin, SWAC side Mississippi Valley State (1-3, 0-3 on Road) faces another school from a Power 4 conference on Tuesday when they are in Manhattan, Kansas to play Kansas State (2-1, 2-1 at Home). The Delta Devils were roughed up by Iowa State (83-44), followed by losses to Missouri (111-39) and Texas (89-43), so MVSU has lost by 39, 72, and 46 in its last three games so the university gets its payday but also is sobered by the reality it can’t beat non-conference sides. The Delta Devils only victory this season came against Mississippi University for Women—the school does allow men to enroll—in their second game (66-49). Kansas State lost to LSU (76-65) in its last game on the hardwood.
