The Mississippi State basketball team is coming off a tough loss vs. the No. 2 team in the nation, the Alabama Crimson Tide, 66-63. The Bulldogs led for most of the game vs. the Crimson Tide, but they cannot seem to finish games well this season.
The Mississippi State basketball team started with one of its best seasons in school history, but the Bulldogs have now lost the last eight of nine games. The Bulldogs need a win, but today’s game might be challenging to return to the win column as they face off against the No. 11 in the nation, the TCU Horned Frogs.

Willie Gay (linebacker) also plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
On the other side of the playoffs, the Mississippi State Bulldogs have defensive lineman, Fletcher Cox, playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. Alongside Cox, the Bulldogs have Darius Slay playing cornerback for the Eagles.
The transfer portal has been good to the Mississippi State football team.
Early on in the offseason, people might have looked at what was happening within the Mississippi State football program and said, “Things don’t look great for the Bulldogs.” That is not the case anymore. The Bulldogs have added some solid pieces to the puzzle.
On Sunday, January 22nd, former Vanderbilt starting quarterback, Mike Wright announced he would be transferring to the Mississippi State football team. Wright has an athletic mobility about him, and it will be interesting to see how the new Mississippi State football offensive coordinator, Kevin Barbay, will use him.
Before Wright announced his commitment to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Freddie Roberson, out of Eastern Washington, announced his commitment to the Bulldogs. Roberson was a wide receiver out of Eastern Washington and finished his career at EWU with 1,552 yards receiving.
