🎥 SENIOR DAY
Softball Senior Day 2024. Hear from our graduating seniors as they reminisce on what made their time as a Mississippi State Bulldog so special.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Rising the Ranks. Bulldog men’s golf shot the second-best round in the field of 13 during day two of action to sit in sixth place and only one spot out of an NCAA Championship appearance. Garrett Endicott carded the best round of the day, shooting a 7-under par 65 to move into a tie for second. Hunter Logan wasn’t far behind as he fired off a 5-under 67, including nine birdies to crack into the top ten.
The Bulldogs will head into the final day of the NCAA Regional round needing to make up four strokes on the current fifth-place team, Florida.
🔼 No. 34. The Diamond Dogs used six late-inning runs to secure the 8-4 victory over North Alabama. The win marked the Bulldogs’ 34th win of the season ahead of the series finale this weekend against Missouri. Joe Powell had a night to remember, launching not one, not two, but three home runs and six RBI.
🔼 The Big Reveal. The SEC announced Mississippi State women's basketball conference matchups for the 2024-25 season. In the 16th season of its 16-game schedule, the conference announced a format with the addition of new members Texas and Oklahoma that consists of a single round-robin of home and away opponents for 14 games with a rotating opponent that will finalize the remaining two games. Each team will play eight home and eight away games, and the rotating opponent will change annually.
🔼 Branching Out. Bulldog men's basketball program unveiled the initial matchup of its 2024-25 non-conference slate as the team will start a home-and-home series versus Memphis on Saturday, December 21st. Adding to its non-conference schedule, State will host Southeastern Louisiana on November 12th, Prairie View A&M on December 8th, and will return to Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo for a second straight season to take on McNeese, a 2024 NCAA Tournament participant who is coming off a 30-4 mark and a conference title.
