Mississippi State is reportedly one of eight teams that will take part in the 2019 Myrtle Beach Invitational.

Ben Howland’s squad will be joined by Villanova, Baylor, Utah, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Ohio, and Coastal Carolina.

The event typically takes place around the second weekend of November.

Mississippi State will play in one tournament this season, with games against Arizona State and either Saint Mary’s or Utah State in the 2018 MGM Resorts Main Event.

The Bulldogs enter the season ranked No. 18 in the preseason AP poll and return their top six scorers from a year ago.
