Claudell Harris - Gets involved Sunday Harris racked up 21 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 91-84 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Harris scored 20 points in the opener, but hadn't dropped more than 10 since then. He hit a season-high 21 against Prairie View A&M largely because he got a season-high 31 minutes. The guard also shot the ball efficiently in the narrow victory. Starter or not, he'll continue to be a regular part of Mississippi State's rotation.

Shawn Jones - Best outing yet in 4th start Jones amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 91-84 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Jones returned to the starting five for the first time since Nov. 22 against Prairie View A&M, and scored 11 points on 50 percent shooting from the field, including two threes. It's been an inconsistent start to the season for Jones, but his 27 minutes were a season high. If he continues to play efficient, turnover free basketball, he should continue to be a regular for the. Bulldogs.

RJ Melendez - Back-to-back 10 point showings Melendez chipped in 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 91-84 victory over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Melendez got his first consecutive starts for the Bulldogs against Pittsburgh and Prairie View A&M, and the guard rewarded Mississippi State by hitting double-digit points in each game. The forward can stretch the floor with his three-point ability, and he's scoring rather efficiently (45/34/83 shooting splits) as well.

Josh Hubbard - Dynamite in win Hubbard amassed 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 91-84 win over Prairie View A&M.
Impact Hubbard posted an electric 25 points in what was a too-close-for-comfort win over Prairie View A&M. The guard is shooting the lights out this year, posting 47/43/80 shooting splits in the young season. What's more, he's taking care of the rock (32 assists to just three turnovers). He'll continue to be an integral piece for the Bulldogs moving forward.

Cameron Matthews - 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.
DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Nwoko - Settling into starting role Nwoko finished with 11 points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 87-77 loss to Butler.
Impact Nwoko has been a starter for all of four straight games this season, and it's been a slow start to the campaign for him. The center averages 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds, shooting 53.3 percent from the floor. For a big man who's constantly around the basket, that number needs to be higher. Still, Nwoko played one of his better games of the season Friday against Butler, putting up 11 points and five boards. It was his first double-digit scoring outing of the season, something he'll look to build on.
DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Riley Kugel - Plays well in second start Kugel totaled 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 87-77 loss to Butler.
Impact Kugel's start against Butler was only his second of the season, but he certainly made the most of the opportunity. The guard chucked up 19 shots and parlayed that into an admittedly inefficient 22 points. Still, he shot 50 percent from deep, putting his shooting touch on full display. If and when the Bulldogs need offense, they'll know Kugel can provide it off the bench or in the starting five.
