Josh Hubbard, a guard for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, has confirmed his return for his final season in college basketball. The announcement puts to rest ongoing rumors about a potential transfer to the Kentucky Wildcats. Hubbard is poised to become the Bulldogs' all-time leading scorer, needing just 195 points to achieve this milestone. Last season, he showcased his scoring ability with an average of 22.1 points, along with 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while maintaining a shooting percentage of 34.7% from beyond the arc on 8.6 attempts per game. Arriving at Mississippi State in 2023 as the state's all-time leading high school scorer, Hubbard has already established himself as a prominent figure in Mississippi basketball. His notable performances against Kentucky include scoring 19, 29, 35, and 37 points in four games, contributing to thrilling matchups. As he prepares for the upcoming season, Hubbard is expected to be a top contender among SEC scorers.
