Full schedule now out. Release from State athletics is below:
The Southeastern Conference announced games dates for the 2024-25 Mississippi State men's basketball season on Tuesday.
In 76 days, the Bulldogs will face West Georgia (Nov. 4) in their 2024-25 season opener at Humphrey Coliseum and officially embark on the program's third season under Chris Jans, who has guided State to consecutive NCAA Tournament trips.
Humphrey Coliseum was one of the nation's most electric environments featuring seven sellouts in 2023-24 – the most on record for a season dating back to 2008-09 highlighted by four in a row.
Fans can purchase season tickets through Mississippi State's Athletic Ticket Office starting as low as $225 at www.HailState.com/tickets or by calling (662) 325-2600 / (888) 463-2947 (GO DAWGS).
As previously announced, State's 18-game SEC schedule features at least one matchup with all 15 league opponents. The Bulldogs have drawn home-and-home matchups with fellow 2024 NCAA Tournament participants Alabama and South Carolina along with Ole Miss.
The SEC and its television partners will finalize midweek game dates in addition to announcing tip times and TV network assignments at a later date.
State will begin SEC action versus South Carolina (Jan. 4) for the second straight season. The matchup with the Gamecocks starts a run of three consecutive Saturday home dates which include tilts with Kentucky (Jan. 11) and Ole Miss (Jan. 18) at Humphrey Coliseum.
State concludes its January slate at Alabama (Jan. 28/29), who made a run to the 2024 NCAA Final Four. The Bulldogs also will make first-half SEC road stops at Vanderbilt (Jan. 7/8), 2024 SEC Tournament champion Auburn (Jan. 14/15), 2024 SEC regular season champion Tennessee (Jan. 21) and play a return game at South Carolina (Jan. 25).
After taking on Missouri (Feb. 1) at Humphrey Coliseum, the Bulldogs will play four of their next six on the road during February. State will host Florida (Feb. 11/12) and Texas A&M (Feb. 18/19) in midweek meetings sandwiched between road games at Georgia (Feb. 8), Ole Miss (Feb. 15), Oklahoma (Feb. 22) and Alabama (Feb. 25/26).
State heads into March facing off with LSU (March 1) and Texas (March 4/5) at Humphrey Coliseum before finishing up the regular season at Arkansas (March 8).
The SEC Tournament will be held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville from March 12-16 where the Bulldogs made the semifinals at last year's event.
State has secured back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances fueled by a pair of 21-win campaigns with Coach Jans at the helm. The last time the Bulldogs collected back-to-back NCAA Tournament bids was during the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons.
Last season, the Bulldogs captured three victories over Associated Press Top 10 opponents for the first time since 2001-02. State knocked off No. 5 Tennessee during the regular season and at the SEC Tournament in addition to defeating No. 8 Auburn.
