Ole Miss guard Stefan Moody will not play in this afternoon’s game against Mississippi State due to a hamstring injury, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.

The Rebels (12-6, 2-4 SEC) will thus be without their top scorer against a Mississippi State team looking for its first SEC win. Moody is leading Ole Miss with 24.3 points and four assists per game, shooting 43 percent from the field and 37 percent from long range. In his absence, expect big man Sebastian Saiz and junior guard Rasheed Brooks to carry the load on offense.
But even if those two have a fine game, neither man is as strong a scorer as Moody. In a season where every conference win counts a little something extra for every team, don’t be shocked if the Bulldogs pull off the upset in Starkville.
Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m. ET, so stay tuned to Campus Sports for updates!
