🔼 Lions And Dawgs And Hoops, Oh My! Playing in the third game of the opening week of the season, State men’s hoops will welcome North Alabama to Humphrey Coliseum for tonight’s game. Heading into the matchup, the Bulldogs are coming off its 14th consecutive home-opening win against UT Martin.

History shows this meeting as one-sided, with the Maroon and White leading the all-time series at 4-0. The average margin of victory for the Bulldogs in those four meetings is a (very) healthy 26 points.

📆 Check out the rest of the slate this week for Bulldog men’s basketball.

🔼 New Direction. Mississippi State Director of Athletics Zac Selmon announced Monday that Zach Arnett has been relieved of his duties as head football coach effective immediately. Senior offensive analyst Greg Knox, who has 35 years of coaching experience including 28 years in the SEC, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2023 season while the university begins a national search for its new head coach.
