Balanced output in loss Matthews amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 81-68 loss to Florida.

Impact Matthews wasn't that assertive as a scorer, but his seven boards and four dimes indicated that he helped out in other ways despite the double-digit loss. The forward remains a fixture of this Bulldogs' front court, but he hasn't hit double-digits in either points or rebounds since his double-double against Ole Miss on Jan. 18.

Contributes in many facets Matthews supplied four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 30 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 88-84 loss to Alabama.

Impact Matthews hasn't been much of a scorer for the Bulldogs, especially in recent games (six total points in his last three outings). Still, he's contributing in other ways, with six rebounds, four assists and two blocks. He'll continue to play a big role for Mississippi State even if that doesn't mean scoring.

Rough night in blowout loss Matthews accumulated four points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 88-66 loss to Auburn.

Impact Matthews hasn't been a major scoring threat for the Bulldogs, but he's been all over the court, as evidenced by his six boards, five boards and five steals against Bethune-Cookman. The forward will continue to be an integral part of Mississippi State's front court with SEC play on tap next.

Inconsistent early on Matthews totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and four steals in 28 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 87-77 loss to Butler.

Impact Matthews has been rather inconsistent early in the 2024-2025 campaign. The forward averages 7.9 points and 6.0 rebounds, and has been hot and cold on a nightly basis. Still, he's taking smart shots and still playing with great efficiency even on his down nights on the glass or in terms of scoring. Matthews continues to play well within the Bulldogs' system, and should remain a starter moving forward.
