Release from State. Decent schedule this season for the Bulldogs:
Mississippi State men's basketball announced a majority of its 2024-25 tip times on Thursday.
In only 25 days, the Bulldogs will face West Georgia (Nov. 4 – 6:30 p.m. – SEC Network+) during 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. The Maroon and White are looking to secure three straight NCAA Tournament bids for the third time in program history.
State welcomes Pittsburgh (Dec. 4 – 8:15 p.m. – SEC Network) to Humphrey Coliseum for the SEC/ACC Challenge. The Bulldogs also travel to SMU (Nov. 22 – 7:30 p.m. – ACC Network+) and Memphis (Dec. 21) to begin a pair of home-and-home series that feature return games to Humphrey Coliseum in 2025-26. The American Athletic Conference will announce a tip time between State and Memphis at a later date.
The Bulldogs will play a trio of non-conference neutral site games across the Magnolia State versus Utah (Nov. 17 – 3 p.m. – ESPN2) from the Big 12 Conference at Landers Center in Southaven, against fellow 2024 NCAA Tournament participant McNeese (Dec. 14 – 5 p.m. – ESPNU) at Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo and versus Central Michigan (Dec. 17 – 6:30 p.m. – SEC Network+) at Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.
