Mississippi State's 2021 SEC Tournament appearance was one to forget, as the Bulldogs were run-ruled twice and swiftly exited the tournament.
As the 3 seed in the tournament, the Bulldogs received a first round bye and played their first game on Wednesday morning, facing 6 seed Florida, who had beaten 11 seed Kentucky the morning prior. As the "home" team, the Bulldogs wore the classic white 85 jerseys against the Gators. It was the second straight SEC Tournament in which the Bulldogs had worn the white 85s in the opening game; the classic look was also worn in the late-night 17-inning win over LSU in 2019. With the loss to Florida, the white 85s suffered their second loss of the season, falling to 7-2 overall.
In an elimination game on Thursday morning, the Bulldogs faced 2 seed Tennessee, a fellow 20-win regular season team who had been upset on Wednesday. State was the "away" team against the Volunteers, and as such wore the road gray script "State" jerseys. As the Bulldogs lost to Tennessee and were eliminated from the tournament, the gray script "State" jerseys suffered their first loss ever, falling to 5-1 on the season and 6-1 all-time.
The 2021 SEC Tournament broke a streak of at least 13 tournament appearances in which State had worn maroon jerseys. Similarly, it was the first in over 10 appearances in which the Bulldogs had worn light gray jerseys.
