How to watch Mississippi State men’s basketball vs. Alabama State
Mississippi State men’s basketball season hasn’t gone the way it had hoped, but it may be a blessing in disguise.
The Bulldogs are 7-5 overall and outside of the NCAA Tournament field after the holiday break. But there’s two months and an entire slate of SEC games to play to change that.
One thing from this bumpy start to the season is a growing comfort in close games. That comfort is huge come tournament time.
Mississippi State is 5-3 in games decided by 10 points or less, including three-straight close wins before Christmas. The opponents weren’t exactly cupcakes, either. The Bulldogs beat Utah in a neutral site game in Utah and beat Long Island and Memphis at home.
The Tigers were the most recent “close game victim” of Mississippi State, falling 71-66 last Saturday. Wins like that give the players the comfort and confidence to win the close ones.
“It gives us a lot of confidence, because we’ve struggled with that at times” Bulldogs’ senior guard Jayden Epps said after the Memphis game. “I feel like we’re definitely making strides. Like we showed today, we got through it and won the game. We’ve been better with our turnovers and taking care of the ball, especially down the stretch. Coach has been emphasizing that a lot, and I feel like we’re getting better at it.”
Fellow senior guard Shawn Jones Jr. added that doing the small things that help win close games is what the Bulldogs are getting better at.
“That’s the bare minimum around here, making plays, making game-winning plays,” Jones said. “That’s what we’ve preached for four years. The big plays aren’t big shots or crossovers. They’re the little things: getting rebounds, boxing out, things that don’t show up on the stat sheet. We’re finally picking up on that collectively, and it’s making us a very good team.”
It’s coming at a good time, too. The Bulldogs have just one game left before they travel to Texas to start SEC play next Saturday. Mississippi State will host Alabama State, whose last game before the holidays was also against Memphis.

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.
