Whit Hughes & Bart Hyche | Miss. St. ‘96 | The Final Four

Send us a text



Hail State! On this episode of the 19nine Podcast, we’re
traveling back to the 1995-1996 college basketball season, when
Iverson and Allen dazzled at The Garden, Kentucky stocked its
roster with 9 future NBA players, Coach Cal led UMass to
national prominence, The Macarena was the year’s hit song, and
a Mississippi State squad led by Darryl Wilson, Dontae’ Jones,
and 16-year NBA veteran Erick Dampier crashed the Final
Four.


To talk about the Bulldogs’ memorable March Madness run,
we’re joined today by two rotation players on that team – Whit
Hughes and Bart Hyche.


A 5-11 freshman on the 1996 squad, Bart played in 31 games
that season, including all five of the Bulldogs’ NCAA
Tournament games.


Whit, meanwhile, was a 6-5 sophomore forward who played in
all 34 contests for the Bulldogs’ Final Four squad.


We’re going to chat with Whit and Bart about their
respective journeys to Starkville, playing basketball at a
school where football reigns supreme, the Mississippi State-Ole
Miss rivalry, taking down Big Blue Nation in the SEC
Tournament, and earning the first – and still only – Final Four
berth in school history.
