In slightly over a month, Mississippi State will open its 2022-23 campaign and play its first game of the Chris Jans era versus Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Nov. 7 – 6:30 PM – SEC Network+), a 2022 NCAA Tournament participant from the Southland Conference, at Humphrey Coliseum.

Mississippi State is set to host Madness at McCarthy on Friday at 8 PM CT. Admission is free, and doors will open 60 minutes prior to the event. The first 500 fans in attendance also will receive a free ‘Madness At McCarthy’ T-Shirt. As at previous Maroon Madness events, the clear bag policy will be in effect.

With a pair of new coaches and highly talented rosters, Madness At McCarthy will give Bulldog fans their first in-person look at both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Madness At McCarthy also will feature a variety of skill competitions and giveaways throughout the night.
