I have been in Starkville for 24 hours & the hospitality has been unmatched!
Crushed a freaking majestic steak with my new friends at Big Eโs Dinner club. Holy hell what a meal, so stoked for the rest of an awesome weekend
๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ก๐, #๐๐ โ Thirty years ago the Mississippi State basketball team made a ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ '๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ'. Hyche was a true freshman that season, and was a consistent presence off the bench as a guard who could handle the ball, distribute, defend, and was a constant threat as a 3-point shooter. For those that watched STATE in that day, you know Hyche could get sizzling hot from behind the arc (averaged 12.6 points a game and shot 37% from 3-pt range as a sophomore). In the Bulldogs' opening NCAA tournament game in 1996 against VCU, Bart played 17 minutes, was 2-4 from 3-point range, grabbed 3 rebounds, an assist, and a steal. In the 'Elite Eight' round versus Cincinnati, Hyche had a perfect shooting night including one, big, momentum 3-pt basket. โโ Bart came to my studio in downtown Tupelo and I'm extremely appreciative! ๐
To my SDN family,
Tomorrow will be my last day with the paper after 11 years as the High School and Mississippi State Beat Writer. It has been the joy of a lifetime covering our Oktibbeha, Choctaw and Webster county teams, players and coaches,
