Last season, the Bulldogs demonstrated a solid foundation in shooting efficiency, boasting a perfect free throw and two-point percentage, as well as an exceptional true shooting percentage. Their average of 65.7 points per game was built on making an average of 24 field goals per game, including 5.24 from beyond the arc and 18.76 from within it.

Defensively, Mississippi State was formidable with an average of 8.62 steals and 3.44 blocks per game – numbers that reflect their aggressive defensive playstyle. They also showed discipline by committing only about 15 personal fouls per match while securing an average of over 35 rebounds.
