The Mississippi State Bulldogs Men’s Basketball team had an ugly win over Northwestern State Monday night, 65-59. Normally the inconsistent play would be the story in such a game, but not this time.

The Mississippi State Men’s team Twitter account announced early on that Freshman Point Guard Lamar Peters would not play. No reason was given, so people began to wonder what was the cause. We found out the reason for Peters absence in the post game press conference.

Howland said Lamar Peters was asleep at his dorm 50 minutes before tip. Sent a manager over there and told him to tell Peters to stay.
