November 06, 2015 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Fans can once again enjoy lunch and Mississippi State women's basketball during another season of Hail State Hoops luncheons.
MSU will hold seven luncheons in Mize Pavilion, with the first set for Thursday, Nov. 12, the eve of the 2015-16 season opener against Samford.
Each luncheon includes a full meal and hoops talk with SEC Coach of the Year Vic Schaefer and other members of the No. 11 Bulldogs.
Cost is $12 per luncheon or $70 for all seven. Fans who sign up for the luncheon bundle will automatically be registered for the chance to win door prizes.
Fans can get more information or RSVP by phone at (662) 325-0198 or email at dbrown@athletics.msstate.edu. Each luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m., with Mize Pavilion doors opening at 11:15.
Mississippi State enters the campaign receiving much preseason hype. In addition to the No. 11 ranking by the Associated Press, the Bulldogs are No. 6 in Athlon, No. 8 in Lindy's, No. 9 in SLAM Magazine, No. 12 by ESPNW and No. 13 in the USA Today coaches poll.
MSU, which was picked third in the SEC by media members, returns four starters and 10 letterwinners from last year's team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Schaefer has three of his top four scorers back with preseason first team All-SEC selection Victoria Vivians (14.9 ppg), Morgan William (9.1 ppg) and Breanna Richardson (8.4 ppg).
Mississippi State hosts Mississippi College in a 7 p.m. exhibition on Nov. 10 before officially beginning the season Nov. 13 against Samford at 5:15 p.m.
