🎙️ DEAR OL’ STATE
Dear Ol’ State: Both Sets of Basketball Bulldogs Stay Unbeaten. It was a productive 24 hours at Humphrey Coliseum as the Mississippi State men's basketball team won on Tuesday night ahead of a women's win midday on Wednesday. Joel Coleman and Logan Lowery talk about the victories and bring you interviews with Cameron Matthews, KeShawn Murphy and Debreasha Powe on the latest episode of Dear Ol' State.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Another Won. State women's basketball ran past Alabama State, 83-29, on Education Day, improving to 3-0 on the season and 20-1 overall in non-conference home games under Sam Purcell. Center Madina Okot recorded her second double-double of her career with 17 points, 12 rebounds and five steals. Debreasha Powe added 14 points on 4-6 shooting from behind the arc and three steals.
🔼 Savoring The Moment. Six years ago, Bulldog soccer head coach James Armstrong sat down with associate head coach Nick Zimmerman to lay out the blueprints for the foundation the pair wanted to build. Fast-forward to 2024. Armstrong, Zimmerman and the plethora of talented staff and players in the Maroon and White are making a third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, this time as a No. 1 seed.
🗣️ "We've built something so special, and just to be a part of it and reap the benefits, it means everything… Everything we do moving forward, it's going to be a true effort together." - Macey Hodge, midfielder
🔼 Signing On. Mississippi State Athletics had a successful National Signing Day, inking some top talent. Check out which future Bulldogs will be making their way to Starkville soon.
