State No. 4 In AP Poll, Hosts Hail State Hoops Luncheon Tuesday
February 06, 2017 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE, Miss. – A pair of big Southeastern Conference wins last week helped the Mississippi State women's basketball team move back to No. 4 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 Poll.
MSU climbed one spot back to No. 4 after improving to 23-1 overall, 9-1 in SEC play, with a 77-47 road win at Auburn on Thursday and a 70-53 home victory against Missouri Sunday afternoon.
State's 23 victories are tied for the most in the nation this season. The two wins kept MSU a half game behind South Carolina, who fell to No. 6 this week, in this week's poll.
Vic Schaefer's squad earned its 50th-straight week in the poll, the seventh-longest active streak in the nation.
Sunday's victory earned State seniors Ketara Chapel, Dominique Dillingham, Chinwe Okorie and Breanna Richardson their program-best 100th win. Dillingham led the way with a career-best 24 points, while Richardson reached 1,000-career points with her 13-point effort.
Fans can celebrate the record-setting campaign at Tuesday's Hail State Hoops Luncheon in Mize Pavilion. The luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m., with doors opening at 11:15.
For $12, fans are treated to a delicious meal, highlights from previous games and hoops talk with Schaefer, his coaching staff and members of his fourth-ranked Bulldogs.
Mississippi State football will also be on the docket for Tuesday's luncheon, as new Bulldog defensive coordinator Todd Grantham will be the guest speaker.
Fans can RSVP for the luncheon either by phone (662.325.0198) or email (dbrown@athletics.msstate.edu).
The Bulldogs wrap back-to-back home games Thursday, hosting Vanderbilt at 8 p.m. on SEC Network. State then heads to Oxford Feb. 12 for a rematch against Ole Miss. That contest will also air on the SEC Network beginning at 3 p.m.
