The schedule for Chris Jans’ first season as Mississippi State’s head basketball coach continues to come into focus.
On Wednesday, the Southeastern Conference announced the Bulldogs’ SEC opponents for the 2022-23 season. MSU will play every team at least once.
Jans’ squad will face permanent opponents Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina twice in addition to playing home and road games against Missouri and Tennessee. Last season also saw a home-and-home with Missouri, while Tennessee came to Humphrey Coliseum in the only matchup between the two schools.
MSU’s nine games at the Hump also include Kentucky, Florida, LSU and Texas A&M.
On the road, the Bulldogs will travel to Arkansas for the only matchup between the two teams, who played twice last season. Auburn, Georgia and Vanderbilt will also host Mississippi State.
The Bulldogs’ full schedule has yet to be released, but it includes an SEC/Big 12 Challenge matchup with TCU on Jan. 28, 2023, in Starkville. Mississippi State will join Georgia Tech, Marquette and Utah at the Fort Myers Tipoff from Nov. 21-23 and will also travel to Minnesota in a game reported to be set for Dec. 11.
Dates, times and TV information have yet to be released.
