The Mississippi State men's basketball program and seventh-year head coach Ben Howland released its 2021-22 non-conference home schedule on Monday.
The Bulldogs will play five programs who secured top three finishes in their respective conferences from a season ago. Mississippi State has won 34 of its last 35 non-conference home games under Howland. Game times and television network assignments will be announced at a later date.
The non-conference home slate features a Power 5 home matchup with Minnesota (Dec. 5) from the Big Ten Conference. The Bulldogs also will return to Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson and take on Winthrop (Dec. 21), the two-time defending Big South Champions. The Eagles are coming off a 23-2 season and captured a No. 12 seed before falling to Villanova during last season's NCAA Tournament.
Mississippi State welcomes North Alabama (Nov. 10), Montana (Nov. 13), Detroit Mercy (Nov. 17) and Morehead State (Nov. 21) for a four-game homestand to open the season at Humphrey Coliseum.
Montana has averaged 21.3 wins per season dating back to 2017-18 and appeared in two of the last three NCAA Tournaments, while Morehead State notched a 23-8 mark and a NCAA Tournament trip last season.
The Bulldogs start December with four consecutive home games against Lamar (Dec. 2), Minnesota (Dec. 5), Georgia State (Dec. 14) and Furman (Dec. 17).
Georgia State has tucked away 20-plus victories in three of the last five seasons sparked by two NCAA Tournament berths, whereas Furman has claimed 22.4 wins and five top three finishes in the Southern Conference going back to 2016-17.
Mississippi State is already scheduled to face Texas Tech (Jan. 29) in the 2022 Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Bulldogs also will open SEC action on Wednesday, December 29.
