🔼 Hot Mic. Bulldog men’s basketball head coach Chris Jans met with the media to discuss everything from his team and how they played on Sunday, to what’s ahead and how confident he is moving forward.

🗣️ "Conference races are a marathon. You people talk about college basketball seasons being long, and they are. But when you start your conference slate, there's just not a lot of time to feel sorry for yourself. You've got to turn the page quickly – try to learn, get some growth and then get back to it." - Chris Jans

🔼 Bowl Bound. Bulldog football’s defensive tackle and Hattiesburg native, Jaden Crumedy, is headed to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. The State draft prospect was chosen as one of a few seniors from across the college football landscape selected to showcase their talent and connect with coaches and decision-makers from all 32 NFL teams.

Crumedy finished his 2023 campaign with 35 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two pass deflections.

🔼 Meet Week. It’s meet week for Mississippi State track and field as the Bulldogs will head to Birmingham, AL, in the season-opener at the UAB Blazer Invitational. This will be State’s first action on the track since closing out last season on the final day of the NCAA Track Championships.
