Everything to Know About Mississippi State Women’s Basketball at No. 4 Texas
Mississippi State women’s basketball is on the road Sunday to face No. 4 Texas, who is led by coach who turned the Bulldogs into a national powerhouse.
Texas coach Vic Shaefer is in his fifth season in Austin after leading Mississippi State for eight seasons and posting a 221-62 record and two NCAA Tournament championship game appearances.
What he built is what current Bulldogs’ coach Sam Purcell is trying to build in Starkville, but there have been growing pains this season.
Mississippi State enters Sunday’s game 2-2 in its last four game, with wins against Arkansas and Georgia surrounded by losses to No. 3 South Carolina and Florida.
Here’s everything to know about Sunday afternoon’s game.
The Opponent: South Carolina
Texas shows up with one of the better résumés in the country, sitting at 10-3 against ranked teams and already stacking four wins over top‑10 opponents (South Carolina, UCLA, LSU, and Oklahoma). The Longhorns have been comfortable in big moments, and their veterans have a lot to do with that.
Rori Harmon has rewritten the program record book in real time. She broke Texas’ all‑time steals mark with six takeaways against LSU, pushing her career total to 359. She also owns the assists record after passing Kamie Ethridge earlier this season, and she’s now the only player in Division I women’s basketball history to hit career marks of 1,500 points, 900 assists, 350 steals, and 600 rebounds.
Madison Booker has settled into SEC play with the kind of steady production you expect from an All‑American. She’s averaging 18.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.3 steals while shooting 47 percent in league games.
And then there’s the Moody Center factor. Texas has won 40 straight at home and is 65-5 all‑time in the building. It’s not the whole story, but it’s a tough place to walk into and feel comfortable.

D1Baseball rankings: Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss surge after big weekends – SuperTalk Mississippi
Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss have surged in the rankings after a big weekend on the diamond.
The Bulldogs (30-10, 10-8 SEC) jumped two spots to No. 15 in the latest poll from D1Baseball following a strong bounce back. Brian O’ Connor’s club, after having been on the wrong side of SEC sweeps in back-to-back series, earned a 10-rule win over Samford on Tuesday, then took care of business with a sweep at South Carolina.
Next up for Mississippi State is a midweek home matchup versus Memphis on Tuesday before LSU heads to Dudy Noble Field for Super Bulldog Weekend.
The Rebels (29-12, 10-8 SEC) took the biggest leap in the rankings, making an eight-spot jump to No. 17 despite not budging in the top 25 a week ago after sweeping LSU. Once Mike Bianco’s club took the first two games at Tennessee in the most recent series, D1Baseball co-owner Kendall Rogers made note that Ole Miss fans could expect to see their team catapult in his outlet’s poll. Come Monday, though the red and blue lost the series finale, D1Baseball stuck to its word.
“What a weekend so far for [Ole Miss baseball]. Cade Townsend carried a no hitter into the sixth in an 8-1 win over Tennessee to take the series,” Rogers wrote on X. “Rebs are on a heater. Safe to say they’ll be much higher than 25 on Monday.”
Next up for the red-hot Rebels is a home midweek outing versus Murray State, the team that knocked the Rebels out of the postseason last year, before No. 5 Georgia travels to Swayze Field for Double Decker weekend.
The Golden Eagles (28-12, 11-7 Sun Belt) made a four-spot jump to No. 18 after securing a much needed conference sweep to keep hopes of hosting an NCAA Tournament regional alive. Christian Ostrander’s club defended home turf over the weekend, taking all three games from a solid Texas State club.
Next up for the black and gold is a Tuesday midweek battle versus former conference foe Tulane, before making an hour and a half drive to South Alabama for the weekend.
