STARKVILLE – After leading the Mississippi State men's basketball program to consecutive NCAA Tournament trips, head coach
Chris Jans has signed a contract extension through the 2027-28 season.
"We are excited for the future of Mississippi State basketball under the leadership of Coach Jans," MSU Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. "He and his staff have done a tremendous job since arriving in Starkville, and we know the best is yet to come. Fueled by seven sellouts, Bulldog fans made Humphrey Coliseum one of the most electric atmospheres in college basketball this past season, and we can't wait for what next year has in store. Pack The Hump!"
"We are thankful to President Mark Keenum and Director of Athletics Zac Selmon for their trust and confidence in our staff's ability to lead our basketball program," Jans said. "Sheri and I love living in the Starkville community and are building long lasting relationships with Bulldogs everywhere. We want to continue to make our fan base proud of the Maroon and White. The renovated Humphrey Coliseum has already proven to be a great home court advantage because of our dedicated State students and passionate fans. We can't wait to get back inside The Hump in November."
