Sunday marks the second time Mississippi State is facing South Carolina since Sam Purcell was hired as the Bulldogs' coach in March 2022. Last season, MSU lost 58-51 in Starkville. It was one of just six games in which the Gamecocks didn't have a double-digit margin of victory.

After losing a large part of its core, including Aliyah Boston, who was the top pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, South Carolina started the season as the nation's fourth-ranked team.

However, after a resounding season-opening win against Notre Dame in France, the Gamecocks were back atop the national polls after the first week and have been there since.
