Mississippi State's SEC Tournament stay lasted two games. After routing LSU on Wednesday, the Bulldogs couldn't slow down Missouri, falling to the Tigers 85-73.

Mississippi State is safely in the NCAA Tournament it would appear, but what seed the Bulldogs get remains to be seen.

Can Mississippi State put together a run to perhaps make the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament?

And what can Missouri do to even further its incredible turnaround season.

Social media was alive and well following the game and some of the best reactions can be found below.

Missouri Praise After Win

Missouri holds on to beat Mississippi State and the Tigers will advance to face Florida tomorrow.

Dennis Gates and his staff have done one hell of a job with this team.

These guys make shots, play hard and get after it on the glass and on the defensive end.

Mississippi State's Magic Number?

Mississippi State has to take this Missouri game down. It's awful in shootouts, but great when games are kept below 80

Josh Hubbard Praise

Josh Hubbard is worth absolutely every penny Mississippi State plays him, whatever it pays him.

What a fun player to watch.

Honest Evaluation of Mississippi State

Never trust Mississippi State basketball in the clutch. Bulldogs don’t have the precision or focus to win these games.

Can’t win with just effort and tenacity against good teams.

8/9 game in the NCAA tournament again.

Starkville = Flop City?

Seen a lot of SEC bball this year, but that was the most pathetic officiated game and I've never seen a team flop as much as Mississippi State tonight.

Too Many Low Points for Mississippi State

Mississippi State just went too cold for too many stretches that second half.

Missouri-Florida tomorrow should be a thriller

The Path to the Over

Mississippi State-Missouri Over 157.5 was a ride.

Need More LSUs in the Bracket

Unfortunately for Mississippi State basketball, there will be no 'LSU's' in the next tournament. #HailState
