Mississippi State’s SEC Tournament run ended by No. 12 Auburn
SUMMARY: The Mississippi State men's basketball team's championship aspirations were dashed as they lost 73-66 to Auburn during the SEC Tournament semifinals. Starting strong, the Bulldogs briefly led by eight before Auburn tied the game at 31 by halftime. Auburn dominated the second half with an early surge, maintaining their lead until the end. Auburn's win featured five players scoring in double figures, while Mississippi State's freshman Josh Hubbard scored a game-high 20 points, and Tolu Smith earned a double-double. Despite the loss, Mississippi State's previous victories over LSU and Tennessee likely secured their NCAA Tournament spot, which will be confirmed on Selection Sunday.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves announced that the state's unemployment rate hit a record low of 3% in March, equaling the state's previous lowest percentage. Reeves credited the economic growth to attracting significant private sector investments and creating thousands of jobs. Among these investments, a $10 billion project from Amazon Web Services is expected to generate 1,000 jobs. The state has also been recognized for its quality pre-kindergarten education and has attained all-time high graduation rates. After a consistent decline in unemployment throughout 2023, Mississippi managed to reach and maintain this record low early in 2024.
