Mississippi State (1-0) enters the season ranked eighth in the Coaches Poll and 10th in the AP Top 25. The Bulldogs are the reigning Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament champions. Highlighting the squad is graduate guard Jordan Danberry which was named to the 2020 Women's Citizen Naismith Trophy Watch List.
The Bulldogs posted a 91-58 victory in the season-opener on Saturday. Five different players scored in double figures, led by Chloe Bibby with 16 points while Jamya Mingo-Young, Jessika Carter, Aliyah Matharu and Danberry rounded out the team's double-digit scorers.
UT Martin head coach Kevin McMillan boasts a career record of 196-127 in his 11th season. Mississippi State is under the direction of Vic Schaefer who has posted a 275-166 record while going 195-56 in eight seasons leading the Bulldogs.
