Good morning! Bulldog track and field is ready for whatever comes next. The team will compete in split meets in the indoor season finale with some at the Tiger Paw Invite and others in the Music City Challenge.

What else did we throw into today’s Bulldog Brew?

🏀 Women’s basketball earns fifth-straight win
⚾️ Jordan earns preseason conference honors
🐶 And much, much more!

🎥 ONE

One: Anybody's Night (S.1 E.11). The Bulldogs are hot, and after four straight wins, it's apparent that at any point, it could be anybody's night. Tune in to see behind the scenes of the win in Lexington, College Station, and what playing in the SEC means to these girls.

🎥 BEYOND THE ARC

Beyond The Arc: He’s Back (S.1 E.6). Tolu Smith III makes his return in the latest episode of the Bulldogs’ season-long docuseries. The SEC portion of the schedule kicked off with the Bulldogs battling the Gamecocks in South Carolina. After a tough loss, watch Smith helped lead the Bulldogs to an upset victory over the 5th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers after missing the first half of the season due to a foot injury.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Top Dawgs. Bulldog women’s basketball showed out against Georgia in the 76-57 win at home in The Hump. The win earned State its 20th win of the season to improve to 20-5 overall and 7-3 in SEC play. Head coach Sam Purcell has now turned in 20-plus wins in back-to-back seasons. Senior guard Jerkaila Jordan finished with 19 points, nine rebounds, four steals and four blocks, while graduate student center Jessika Carter turned in her 38th career double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.

🔼 Today’s The Day. The 2024 softball season is upon us, but before the first pitch is thrown, members of the Mississippi State softball team had the exciting opportunity to deliver season tickets and interact with the fans in Starkville. Morgan Bernardini, Sierra Sacco and Madisyn Kennedy were part of the group of players welcomed into the homes of the Bulldog faithful with open arms.

🗣️ "It was so much fun being welcomed by our season ticket holders. Some made us cookies. Some had snacks ready. It was the best time ever. I felt like I was just walking into a family member's house. They were really welcoming, and it was such an exciting time to be there." - Morgan Bernardini

🔼 All-Conference Kid. The praise keeps rolling in for Diamond Dawg Dakota Jordan as the SEC announced him as a member of the Second Team Preseason All-SEC. The sophomore comes into the 2024 season after hitting .307 last year with 47 hits and 40 RBIs — the third-most on the team. Jordan and the rest of Bulldog baseball will make its return to The Dude on Feb. 16 when the Diamond Dawgs host Air Force in a three-game series.
