Mississippi State baseball will participate in the 2025 College Classic at Minute Maid Park, joining other top teams like Rice, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Texas A&M, and Tennessee, the College World Series national champions. The Bulldogs will play Rice, Arizona, and Oklahoma State in three games scheduled from Feb. 28 to March 2. This event is expected to be highly competitive, with eight combined national championships among the six participating teams.
Mississippi State’s participation in the College Classic marks the first confirmed opponents on their 2025 non-conference schedule. Last season, under head coach Chris Lemonis, the Bulldogs made a successful return to the NCAA Tournament after a two-year absence, ultimately falling in the Charlottesville Regional final to No. 12 Virginia. The team’s performance in the upcoming College Classic will provide an early test for the Bulldogs and a chance to showcase their talent against top-tier competition.
The event will take place at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, adding to the excitement and prestige of the College Classic. This opportunity to play against strong opponents in a renowned venue will be a valuable experience for Mississippi State as they continue to build on their recent success in the NCAA Tournament. Fans and supporters can look forward to an exciting series of games as the Bulldogs take on some of the best teams in college baseball.
