Melendez Has the Moves
MSU forward R.J. Melendez led the No. 22 Bulldogs to an 81-71 win over No. 19 Ole Miss this past weekend, with Coach Chris Jans’ team getting its second sweep in three seasons against the in-state rival. Along with Melendez’s 17 points, four players scored in double figures and wrapped the game in Maroon and White—Josh Hubbard (14), Riley Kugel (11), and Keshawn Murphy and Claudell Harris Jr. (10 each). Next up: Texas A&M in The Hump, Tuesday [Feb. 18], 6 p.m., and it’s broadcast on SEC Network. Â
