PERKINSTON — Turns out Mississippi Gulf Coast may not have clinched a spot in the eight-team MACCC Men’s Basketball Tournament, but a win at East Mississippi on Thursday will definitely do it.

 

Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. in Scooba. The game will be streamed at https://www.emccathletics.com/video/YouTubeLive.

 

The Bulldogs hold enough tiebreakers in head-to-head situations over seven other teams in the league, but there are potential scenarios where a five-team tie for fifth could turn into a mathematical morass.
