Mississippi State women’s basketball live score updates vs. Vanderbilt: SEC play begins
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s basketball opens SEC play on Thursday with a home game against Vanderbilt in a contest between two teams on the fringe of making the national polls.
Both teams are receiving votes in the AP Top 25, and Vanderbilt also earned votes in the most recent USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Commodores (13-1) have won their past six games; the Bulldogs (13-2) have won their past five.
A 70-62 loss at NC State on Nov. 29 in the ACC/SEC Challenge is the lone blemish on Vandy’s résumé. Noteworthy wins include Iowa State on a neutral court and at Butler.

MSU lost back-to-back games between late November and early December, due in part to injuries that limited depth. The Bulldogs are outscoring opponents by an average of 28 points during the winning streak since then.
Vanderbilt finished 12th in the SEC last season with a 3-13 conference record. Mississippi State, one of the last four teams to make the NCAA Tournament, finished fifth at 9-7. MSU has won its past nine against Vanderbilt.

Commissioner Gipson helps open new ‘farm-to-table’ business in Hattiesburg
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture Andy Gipson was in Hattiesburg Friday, to help launch a new business.
Gipson cut a ribbon at the grand opening of Mississippi Farmers Meats at Old Eleven Plaza.
The new enterprise will give farmers a new way to get their products from the farm to the dinner table.
“This is part of the farm-to-table movement, really, and we want to grow more of this in Mississippi,” Gipson said.
The store sells locally-raised and processed meats, along with fresh local produce and dairy products.
The Hattiesburg store is the second Mississippi Famers Meats to open.
The first is in Summit, at the site of a meat-processing facility that opened in 2000.
“The only way Mississippi is going to grow, is if we support every farmer,” said Nadeem M. Kased, Mississippi Farmers Meats president/founder. “If we don’t support the farmers, they will be going out of business.”
Kased said he wants to eventually open 10 Mississippi Farmers Meats locations in Mississippi and Louisiana.

Mississippi State has failed to advance beyond the regular season since its 2021 national championship run. However, after winning 17 conference games in this year’s regular season and winning two contests in the SEC tournament, the Bulldogs delivered a résumé worthy of postseason baseball.
St. John’s comes to Charlottesville off a Big East tournament title. This year marks the first NCAA Tournament bid for the Red Storm since 2018.
Friday’s meeting marks the first in history between Mississippi State and St. John’s.

Mississippi State vs St. John’s prediction
Mississippi State beats St. John’s, 4-2: MSU’s offense comes into the Charlottesville Regional off a sluggish offensive showing at the SEC tournament. Against a quality St. John’s pitching staff, scoring could be difficult. However, with Khal Stephen on the mound, Mississippi State is hard to pick against.
