As the Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs prepare to host the Mississippi Valley State Devilettes at Humphrey Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The Lady Bulldogs have been on a formidable streak, and their recent performances suggest that they are not about to let up anytime soon.
In their last outing on December 17 against the Memphis Tigers at Elma Roane Fieldhouse, MSST dominated with an impressive 81-63 victory. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot 50 percent from the field and an outstanding 75 percent from the free-throw line. With a commanding presence in the paint leading to 50 points and a robust defense that racked up 12 blocks, MSST showed why they're considered one of the most balanced teams this season.

Dominating second-chance points with 28 and showcasing their rebounding strength by securing 58 boards, MSST demonstrated their ability to control both ends of the court effectively.
Earlier in December, on the 12th against Kennesaw State Owls, MSST put up an offensive clinic scoring a season-high of 91 points while maintaining defensive intensity that led to forcing their opponents into committing a staggering number of turnovers (23). This blend of high-octane offense and stifling defense is what makes this team so exciting to watch.
Looking ahead at our upcoming opponents, MVSU will need more than just determination when facing such formidable adversaries. While it is true that any team can triumph on any given day – especially in college sports – it would take nothing short of a miracle for MVSU to upset MSST based on current form and statistics.
