Bulldogs Turn In Spirited Effort In First Practice of 2017-18
October 01, 2017 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State women's basketball got the 2017-18 season underway with a spirited three-hour workout in Humphrey Coliseum.
Vic Schaefer's Bulldogs began the workout with individual post and guard work on each ends of the court in Mize Pavilion.
The Dawgs then made the move to transition work before switching to the main arena floor to work on shooting drills from various spots on the floor.
"I liked the way we ended with our conditioning. Our kids went hard, and as we get in better shape, things will clean up a little bit," Schaefer said. "I told them before we started that I want to see people compete and come to the top. I'm hopeful every day someone is going to step up and make me want to play them."
State also spent the opening workout with defensive and offensive work before wrapping with conditioning.
Mississippi State had 15 players take the floor for the opening workout. That group featured nine returnees from last year's squad that won 34 games and advanced to the national championship game in the program's first Final Four appearance.
The Bulldogs open the season Nov. 10 against Virginia in the second half of a doubleheader with the men's team. That contest tips at 8 p.m., and tickets to the twin bill are on sale now at www.hailstate.com/tickets.
General admission season tickets can be purchased at hailstate.com/tickets or by phone at 1-888-GO-DAWGS.
