BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Mississippi State basketball's Josh Hubbard captured SEC Player of the Week honors announced Monday by the conference office.

For Hubbard, it marks his sixth weekly award from the SEC. He was a five-time SEC Freshman of the Week during the 2023-24 season.

Hubbard posted 30.0 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per contest as State moved its winning streak to five consecutive games. He poured in a career-high tying 38 points at Texas which also marked the most points scored by an SEC player this season.

Hubbard brought State to the finish line as he amassed 10 points in overtime and hit the go-ahead trey with 39 seconds remaining to break a 96-96 tie to give the Bulldogs the lead for good.

The 38-point effort vaulted Hubbard into 11th place on State's all-time scoring list, while the six treys pushed him into a 2nd place tie at State with 260 career treys. Five of his six career games of 30+ points have come against SEC opponents.
