There’s been a lot of hype for different Mississippi State sports over the last few years. 2014 featured big time hype for the baseball team, but we were let down. That fall there was a lot of hype for the football team and we were satisfied. This summer and fall you’re likely to hear plenty of hype for the basketball team….and deservedly so.
The perfect storm has brewed to get the MSU basketball out of the cellar. Ben Howland is hired, he inherits a senior-laden team, then secures a top 5 player in Malik Newman. A lot of folks seem to be talking about a potential bubble team, but I don’t see that at all.
