Though the Tigers still had work to do on Monday night as they searched for a sweep against the Bulldogs.
In their final home game of the (regular) season, Mizzou suffered a heartbreaking loss — giving up a 2-0 lead with two outs in the top of the 7th.

FINAL | Mississippi State: 3, #Mizzou: 2
The Tigers fall to 0-7 in SEC series finales, and they do so in shocking fashion. Down to its final strike, Mississippi State rallied for three runs to flip the game on its side.

The loss dropped Mizzou to 37-14 overall (10-11 SEC) heading into the final series of the regular season (at South Carolina Friday through Sunday) right before SEC Tournament play.

From Dennis Gates:
“Mark is a proven winner with a top skill set on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court,” said Whitten Family Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates. “He will really thrive in our system, which will allow him to showcase just how versatile of a player he is. Mark is a matchup nightmare who is a physical player with a knack for getting to the free-throw line. He has elite experience in the ACC and his production in two years only speaks for itself. We’re looking forward to Mark joining our Mizzou family as we strive to win championships.”
Welcome, Mark!
