Dawghouse: A Mississippi State Podcast

Both Bulldog basketball and the Diamond Dogs were coming off awkward defeats, and both bounced back Saturday for necessary victories. Mississippi State baseball smacked three home runs in a 10-1 rout of Northern Kentucky to even the series ahead of Sunday's rubber game with Coach Chris Lemonis revising his batting order again. Preston Johnson made a case to stay in the rotation with his Saturday start and the bullpen looks ready for game-three. Meanwhile Ben Howland's basketball Dogs beat-up Vanderbilt in the paint for a 74-69 win that keeps some breath of post-season hope going at Mississippi State, but it's a faint hope still with two regular season games left.
