'Mississippi State Bulldogs Basketball Tickets'

'Nestled in Starkville, Miss., Mississippi State has had a basketball team since 1878. While the team got its start as part of the Southern Conference, it has since become a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where it has won three conference tournament titles. Their last SEC Tournament championship came in 2009. The Bulldogs have been slowly improving since they hired Ben Howland, who is in his fifth season. Howland is known for his excellent coaching skills and taking teams that are in a slump and turning them into winners. Mississippi State made the NCAA Tournament for the first time under his tenure in 2019. While they lost in the first round, it was still an achievement for a program that hadn't qualified for the tourney since 2010. If you want to see an exciting game for an up-and-coming team, be sure to catch the Bulldogs in action. Get your Mississippi State Bulldogs' basketball tickets at StubHub.'
