A Fresh Batch of Home Games for the Bulldogs
Mississippi State University revealed its non‑conference home schedule for the 2025‑26 basketball season, highlighting a series of matchups that will test the Bulldogs early in the campaign. The centerpiece is a Nov. 9 contest against Jackson State at Humphrey Coliseum, the first meeting between the two programs since 2020.
In addition to the Jackson State game, the schedule includes home appearances against Mississippi Valley State on Dec. 15 and Campbell on Dec. 28. Both opponents bring distinct challenges: the former as a longtime SWAC rival and the latter as a mid‑major program known for its competitive non‑conference play.
The announcements were made by Mississippi State’s athletic department, which emphasized the importance of building momentum heading into conference play. Fans can expect a lively atmosphere at Humphrey Coliseum, where the Bulldogs traditionally draw strong support for early‑season contests.
While the full roster and coaching staff remain focused on preparation, the upcoming games provide valuable opportunities for player development and fan engagement. The university also took the opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to community outreach through these events.
