It was not too long ago that women’s hoops was overlooked. Nobody cared, the team wasn’t winning, and all the focus was on Men’s hoops, baseball, and football.

Vic Schaefer came to Starkville almost exactly 5 years ago and has built Mississippi State into a national power.
The hiring of Vic Schaefer back on March 16, 2012 has completely changed the entire basketball program and the way fans of the Maroon and White feel about women’s hoops.
Year one of a rebuilding program had struggles. Schaefer led State to a 13-17 record and an 11th place finish in the conference.
