Bracky Brett Working Overtime at Mississippi State

May 4, 2009

Is there a worse job in the SEC right now than that of Bracky Brett, Mississippi State athletic department compliance director?

Apparently Dan Mullen and Rick Stansbury are engaging in some kind of NCAA shenanigans contest. Mullen landed what many thought would be the death blow, bringing The Walking NCAA Violation on campus to help coach the Bulldog coaching staff.

But now, just weeks after sorting through that mess, Stansbury is not to be outdone, landing big-man Renardo Sidney, whose background is so shady that even USC head coach Tim Floyd backed off of him after he had committed. And yes, the same Tim Floyd who brought in O.J. Mayo through his World Wide Wes connections.

Brett isn't even sure he'll be able to play:

"We realize by simply signing him doesn't mean the process is over. We know there's a lot of questions to be answered. Any issues related to his amateurism or extra benefits will be part of our discussions with all parties in the very near future. By all parties, I mean the prospect, his family, the NCAA, the Southeastern Conference and everyone here at Mississippi State. We're not going to compromise the integrity of our institution. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks. Or months."

This coming from the school that admitted Dontae' Jones.

Additional John Riek Rumor De-Bunking…

May 4, 2009
First of all, many Cincinnati fans appear to be in a frenzy, and some seem to be creating rumors at a wild pitch. Some have claimed, on a Cincinnati rival page—Bearcat Lair—that Mississippi State’s thread on their own rival page regarding Riek is locked, claiming it is only an unfounded rumor. THIS—in fact—is an unfounded rumor. I am a member of the site—there have only been a few posts regarding Riek, and Mississippi State’s representative, Logan Lowery, has not been heard from on the topic yet. The thread is not locked, and no one is claiming it is an untrue rumor on the board.

Additionally, many Cincinnati fans appear to be confused regarding press conferences and releases. Coaches are, in fact, allowed to release comments regarding SIGNED recruits. I have worked in media relations for a very long time now, and every single school I’ve ever been in contact with has always—ALWAYS—issued a press release immediately following a recruit’s signing. Some Cincinnati fans seem to believe programs are only allowed one press release per recruiting period, and this is simply not the case. If Riek had in fact signed with Cincinnati, the Bearcats could have, at any point, issued a press release.

This is not suggesting Riek will or will not be attending Mississippi State, as it seems everyone involved is playing a massive waiting game. Just keep in mind the Fox report stated Riek had COMMITTED to MSU, not SIGNED. Thus, the Bulldogs would not have a release on their site until Riek actually signed with the school. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, and let’s all try to calm down.

Mississippi State Adds John Riek

May 3, 2009
Just when you thought the Bulldogs had ended their recruiting after signing an extra scholarship in highly-touted big-man Renardo Sidney, today brings word that John Riek, an elite 7′2″ former top-five prospect and No. 1 ranked postgraduate prospect, has committed to State.
This puts MSU with two extra scholarships, possibly suggesting that outstanding junior Jarvis Varnado may have decided to stay in the NBA draft. Either way, MSU will need to shed at least one player, possibly sending three-star big-man Wendell Lewis to prep school for a year.

If Varnado returns, the Bulldogs should be a lock for the preseason Top 15 next season, if not better.

Big-Time Recruit Changing Committment to SEC?

Apr 28, 2009

Sidney to MSU?

Top 10 recruit and insanely talented big-man Renardo Sidney is apparently strongly considering a switch of his committment from USC to Mississippi State.

Sources have all but confirmed that Sidney visited Starkville this past weekend. He is currently ranked as the No. 2 power forward in the country by Scout and fifth overall.

Sidney has been reported to have an attitude problem, and problems with his motivation, but several sources are quoted as saying Sidney is the most purely talented player in the entire class.

Sidney originally lived in Jackson, Miss. before moving to Los Angeles to play prep ball.

In other MSU news, talented junior Jarvis Varnado has put his name into the NBA draft, although he will not hire an agent. If Varnado returns and Sidney is added to the roster, Mississippi State could be a Final Four contender.

Another big announcement by an SEC player, and this time in favor of the league: Alex Tyus has pulled a Billy Donovan and changed his mind—he will, in fact, return to the Gators’ basketball team next season.

My Official 2008-09 Men's Basketball Awards

Apr 14, 2009
Here are the rather delayed decisions:

 

SEC Player of the Year: Jodie Meeks (Junior, Kentucky)

This was a tough decision between three players. In the end, Meeks’ ability to drain crucial shots from the perimeter and inordinate knack for getting to the charity stripe garnered him the honor of this year’s Player of the Year.

Meeks led the SEC this year in scoring with 23.7 points per game. Only he and Marcus Thornton from LSU were able to average more than 20. Meeks’ 117 three-pointers easily eclipsed any other player in the SEC while his 40.7 percent average from long-range also led the conference.

Added to this impressive resume was Meeks’ 263 field goals made this season, seven more than anyone else in the league. Meeks’ overall 46.3 percent effort from the floor was 10th best in the SEC, and third amongst the league’s guards.

It’s not all about the pure scoring numbers, and Meeks is not one-dimensional. He also shot 90.2 percent from the charity stripe to lead the league in that category. He also attempted 234 shots from there—12 more than anyone else in the SEC.

The junior, who has announced he will be testing out the NBA draft this offseason, also averaged 1.33 steals per contest (good for 13th in the league) and 34.36 minutes per game (1st).

If Meeks returns to UK for his senior season, Kentucky will have a heck of an offensive weapon.

 

SEC Freshman of the Year: Dee Bost (Freshman, Mississippi State)

This contest was clearly between two individuals, as Terrico White of Ole Miss was a better pure scorer than Bost. Bost, however, brings a much more well-rounded and complete game to the floor and is arguably better at on-ball defense. There is no doubt, however, that Bost is a far better leader on his team.

Bost filled the rather enormous shoes of outgoing junior Jamont Gordon very well. He took an MSU team picked fourth in the SEC West to a tie for second in the division, an SEC Tournament title, and an NCAA Tournament bid. Bost did so by averaging 4.33 assists per game, which is fourthth in the conference and second among freshmen.

While the assist-to-turnover ratio is a category in which nearly every freshman struggles, Bost did not. He registered a 1.53 mark, seventh in the league and best among freshmen.

Bost did what every great point guard should do: hand the ball out, take care of the ball, and defend. The lattermost was demonstrated by his average of 1.44 steals per game which also ranked best among the league’s freshmen and 12th overall in the conference.

Bost was no slouch at scoring either, finishing with a 10.9 points per game average. He also shot 71.8 percent from the charity stripe, good for 12th in the SEC and again first among freshmen.

While both Bost and White will be outstanding players in their SEC careers, it seems that Bost will prove to be a much more potent all-around player for opposing SEC squads.

 

SEC Coach of the Year: Trent Johnson (First Year, LSU)

Unlike many of the other awards this offseason, this one was very clear-cut. Johnson took a very talented but horribly-coached program under John Brady and destroyed the SEC with it the following year.

LSU, just two years removed from a Final Four, was in disarray in 2007-08. The Tigers won just 13 games while losing 18 and went 6-10 in the conference.

Johnson came in and instilled an intense in-your-face defense that finished 2008-09 ranked 17th in the nation, easily claimed the overall SEC season title after going 13-3 in-conference, and finished 27-8 overall.

Johnson was an outstanding choice by LSU’s athletic department, and it seems the Tigers will be a force with which to be reckoned for many years to come.

 

SEC Defensive Player of the Year: Jarvis Varnado (Junior, MSU)

Words can hardly describe the defensive power, presence, and ability of Jarvis Varnado. After shattering the single-season and career blocks records at MSU, he has gone on to surpass Shaquille O’Neal’s single-season SEC block record. He is now on pace to shatter not only the SEC career block record, but the NCAA one, as well. In fact, Varnado had more blocks in 2008-09 than nine of the teams in the SEC and over 300 teams in NCAA Division One basketball.

Varnado reigns as the two-time National Defensive Player of the Year, and one could hardly keep him from the title of SEC Defensive Player of the Year. If he returns, he could very well be a favorite for the 2009-10 SEC Player of the Year.

 

SEC First-Team

Jodie Meeks (Kentucky—Junior—23.7ppg—3.4rpg—46.3% FG—40.6% 3PT)

Meeks was possibly the most dangerous and hot-handed scorer in the conference this year. His excellent driving ability sends him to the charity stripe more than any other player in the league. Meeks was more valuable to Kentucky this season than any player was to any other team in the SEC.

 

Marcus Thornton (LSU—Senior—21.1ppg—5.5rpg—47.2% FG—38.8% 3PT)

Thornton was in a close battle with Meeks for Player of the Year honors throughout the season, and is a very similar player to him. Thornton has more muscle and is a better rebounder, but not quite as strong of a shooter. Thornton was one of the most dynamic players in the league, and LSU will have a huge hole to fill on his graduation heading toward the 2009-10 season.

 

Jarvis Varnado (Miss. State—Junior—12.9ppg—8.8rpg—4.72bpg—54.9% FG)

Varnado is destroying block records around the league and soon across the nation, assuming he returns. What most don’t know, however, is his well-rounded game, as Varnado is a potent scorer under the basket and one of the best rebounders in the league. Varnado could challenge for 2009-10 SEC Player of the Year.

 

Devan Downey (South Carolina—Junior—19.8ppg—2.8rpg—4.52apg—2.87apg)

Downey was the best defending guard in the SEC for the 2008-09 season, as he finished almost a whole steal more than any other player in the league. Downey’s small size and tremendous speed led to nearly impossible matchups for most guards in the league, and Downey knows how to attack the basket. Ranked third in the conference, he also knows how to score. If he returns, South Carolina could be very, very good next year.

 

Nick Calathes (Florida—Sophomore—17.2ppg—5.3ppg—6.4apg—1.94 a/to)

This was a difficult decision between Calathes, Tennessee’s Tyler Smith and Kentucky’s Patrick Patterson for the final First-Team position, but I have a weakness for good ball-handling and smart-playing point guards. Calathes, last year’s SEC Freshman of the Year, has everything that makes an outstanding point guard—and he can score. Averaging 17.2ppg and still handing out 6.4 assists per outing is no small feat.

 

SEC Second-Team

Tyler Smith (Tennessee—Junior—17.4ppg—5.8rpg—3.4apg—76.6% FT)

Tyler Smith is one of the most dynamic big-men in the conference. He is amazing under the basket and is still quite dangerous from behind the arc. He can also drive the basket and—get this—he can dish the ball. 3.4 assists per game is outstanding for a forward. Smith is a great scorer with an NBA body. I’d be surprised if he returns in 2009-10.

 

Patrick Patterson (Kentucky—Sophomore—17.9ppg—9.3rpg—2.1bpg—60.3% FG)

Keeping Patterson from the First-Team was a very difficult thing to do considering his page-filling stat sheet. As a sophomoren this young man has an enormous amount of potential. Patterson is an absolute force for the Wildcats, as there is likely not a better interior scorer than him in the entire league. He is also one of the league’s best rebounders and is better defensively than anyone in the league not named Jarvis Varnado.

 

Korvotney Barber (Auburn—Senior—12.8ppg—9.6ppg—1.2bpg—54.5% FG)

Barber is outstanding from within five feet of the basket, as his impressive field-goal percentage indicates. Don’t move him outside of that range, however—he’s just 47.3 percent from the free throw line. That aside, Barber nearly averaged a double-double for the surprising Tigers and was likely the SEC’s best rebounder last year.

 

Michael Washington (Arkansas—Junior - 15.5ppg—9.8rpg—1.3bpg—55.1% FG)

Washington is yet another surpemely talented big-man on the SEC Second Team. For a while, Washington looked like the best in the league, and he would clearly win a “Most Improved” award for the SEC. Washington had the misfortune of playing for one of the SEC’s worst teams, but could lead a susprising Razorback team next year.

 

Alonzo Gee (Alabama—Senior—15.0ppg–7.2rpg—44.2% FG—36.5% 3PT)

Alonzo Gee was one of the league’s most dynamic overall players last season, as he was unstoppable while driving to the basket. His athletic body and sheer mass proved a difficult matchup for his defenders. He was also one of the league’s most talented rebounding guards—although, that term could be used lightly for high-flying Gee. The Crimson Tide will sorely miss his presence in 2009-10.

Washington Huskies: NCAA Tournament Outlook

Mar 18, 2009

The Huskies find themselves back in the NCAA tournament after a successful regular season, capped by winning the Pac-10 conference regular season title. Out of all the teams entering the tournament from the Pac-10, the Huskies have boasted the most wins against tournament teams.

The Huskies have beat:

  • No. 15 seed Morgan St.
  • No. 13 seed Cleveland St.
  • No. 13 seed Portland St.
  • No. 12 seed Arizona
  • No. 8 seed Oklahoma St.
  • No. 6 seed UCLA
  • Two wins over No. 10 seed USC
  • Two wins over No. 6 seed Arizona St.

Lorenzo Romar is ready for his third go around with another talented team.  With a tough bracket, the Huskies will be tested from their first round game right off the bat. The Mississippi St. Bulldogs create some matchup problems for the Huskies.

Most notably, Jarvis Varnado, a 6'9" forward with some maniac shot-blocking ability. He’s the best shot-blocker in the nation. Inevitably, Jon Brockman will be shut down offensively.

Against USC shot-blocker, Taj Gibson, Brockman was ineffective offensively, scoring only 10 points in two games.

However, Brockman contributed in a different way, grabbing a combined 27 rebounds in those two games. Brockman won’t have a huge game for the Huskies, but his rebounding prowess will still play a major factor in the Huskies’ success.

The Bulldogs have also strived on their guard play. It will be a dual between Thomas/Dentmon and the experienced Barry Stewart.

Dentmon has been cold as of late, but after watching him all season, you know he can get hot at any moment. He’s hit clutch shot after clutch shot for the Huskies.  Without a doubt, he’s become the consummate go-to player for the Huskies during crunch time.

Isaiah Thomas has also shown the desire to have the ball in his hands during crunch time. He’s no ordinary freshmen, and it is unlikely he’ll freeze up on the big stage of the NCAA tournament.

Thomas loves being in the spotlight, I predict a strong tournament performance from I.T.

If the Huskies are to advance, they’ll most likely face off against No. 5 seed Purdue.

The Boilermakers are a scary team for the Huskies to play in the second round. Purdue has strong post defense and is a better 3-point shooting team than the Huskies.

Again, Jon Brockman will have trouble against the duo of Robbie Hummel and JaJuan Johnson. Against MSU and Purdue, the play of Quincy Pondexter will be critical. He has come up big for the Huskies when Dentmon, Thomas, and Brockman have had off-games.

If Pondexter can play at a high-consistent level, then the Huskies will likely find themselves in a Sweet 16 rematch against the other Huskies, the University of Connecticut.

Upset Special: The Teams That Could Surprise You!

Mar 17, 2009

I usually do not watch too much college basketball, but when it comes down to March, i watch it like a hawk. It is addicting.

From teams you never heard of in conference finals, to the Big East Tournament, to March Madness, the month of March is dedicated simply to basketball.

There are a few teams that could surprise you this year. No, I didn't say pick them. No, I didn't say they would win.

I said, "They can surprise you." So lets get started.

North Dakota State Bison (26-6)

The North Dakota State Bison are in their first year of eligibility in Division I basketball.

Truly making this story more compelling is the miracle shot they made to win the Summit Tournament. ND State is a high scoring team averaging just over 80 points a game.

They have won 18 of their last 19 games, and have a danger, lurking guard by the name of Ben Woodside, who may be one of the most under recognized talents in the NCAA today.

X Factors

They will be facing the third seeded Kansas in what is more of a home game for North Dakota State, then it is for Kansas as the game is being played four hours away in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

North Dakota State is a whopping 15-1 at home. North Dakota State was 0-3 in games against tournament teams.

All three of those games were road games. North Dakota State is money behind the arc, shooting 41 percent three-pointers. They are about shooting 70 percent at free throws though.

What they need to do to win

ND State has got to keep the game close. They have shown that they can shoot the game winning shot, and that is a big motivation for them.

If they can keep it close with Kansas, they could pull the upset. They have definitely got the three-point shooting to keep it close.

Mississippi State Bulldogs (23-12)

The Bulldogs enter the tournament on fire. Winning the SEC Tournament. But their season shows another story. They started red hot. Then hit a sour patch, finishing just above .500 in the SEC they had to win the SEC Tournament to make it into the Big Dance.

They did that by beating a now eighth seeded LSU and No. 9 Tennessee to win the SEC Tournament. This story may sound familiar. Georgia had to win the SEC Tournament to make it into the Big Dance last year.

X-Factors

The Bulldogs are a slightly above average scoring team. Their advantage is under the net. They average seven blocks a game.

Mississippi State has won six games in a row, four of them on the road.

What they need to do to win

Washington is a high percentage shooting team, with a low percentage three-point shooting team. They have one of the best rebounding teams in the nation though. The battle of this game will be won under the net.

If Mississippi State can win the game of rebounding, it should keep Mississippi State close in the game.

Utah State Aggies (30-4)

This team could surprise the nation not once, but maybe even twice.

Utah State will be playing as close as a home game as they could possibly get as the No. 11 seed Utah State Aggies face Marquette in the first round. They started the season 24-1 (wow) and their only loss was against BYU.

But Utah State just has a danger about them. This Aggies team went 19-0 at home this season. Their game against Marquette is being played just four hours away in Boise, Idaho.

How many Marquette fans do you think will make that game?

X-Factors

Utah State like mentioned will be playing a home game. They have a 40 percent three-point shooting team that once they are hot, they stay hot. If they start shooting the three early, its game over for Marquette.

They have a big game potential team. They beat Utah earlier in the season, and kept it close against BYU. Both eighth and ninth seeded, there is no reason they cannot play a game against Marquette and keep it close.

What they need to do to win

Marquette has the scoring edge, and the rebounding edge. Utah State needs high percentage shots. Utah State sinks 49 percent of their shots, and 74 percent of their free throws.

If the three-pointers start sinking, Marquette's tournament shot might be sinking with it. Also, Marquette will be playing without Dominic James, who is their main assist man who averages more than 10 a game.

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (24-8)

This team is just screaming upset special. They have won 11 of their past 12 games. They have already beaten a No. 1 seeded team in Louisville in Louisville I might add.

I mean, didn't they do enough last year to gain recognition as a potential threat?

This is a team that went to the Sweet 16 last year. They eventually lost to the UCLA Bruins in the Elite Eight.

Western Kentucky is a dangerous team and could scream bad luck to one Illinois Illini team.

X-Factors

This is a middle of the road team by far. But no matter how bad it gets, they always seem to get the wins in the book. They have no quit in them. A.J. Slaughter is the leader of this team, and if he has a big game Western Kentucky's team shall follow.

What they need to do to win

Rebound, rebound, rebound.

They gotta snag every rebound possible. Illinois has got a BIG team. Every single rebound they take away just helps out a little bit more.

Western Kentucky averages more rebounds per game than Illinois, but Illinois is a rebounding threat with 6'9" Mike Davis, and 7'1" Mike Tisdale.

SEC Championship Preview: Miss State Fights for Tournament Bid

Mar 15, 2009

We have an East vs West battle for the SEC Championship in Tampa, FL, but it is probably not the team from the West most expected. The Bulldogs of Mississippi State need this win to get an NCAA berth while their opponent, Tennessee, has already locked up a bid.

The Volunteers are looking for their first SEC Tournament title since 1979. Miss State is hoping for its third all time and first since 2002.

Season Meetings

Tennessee 81, Mississippi State 76, Feb. 25, Knoxville

The Volunteers forced 17 turnovers and won the rebounding battle 38 to 31 en route to a five point home win just a few weeks ago. Wayne Chism and Tyler Smith were able to limit Miss State's James Varnado to just eight points and four field-goal attempts.

But the Bulldogs' 11 three pointers kept them in the game until the very end.

Tennessee Volunteers Keys to Victory

1. Stay Hot Shooting
In their wins this weekend, Tennessee has shot over 50 percent on average; the Vols barely broke 46 percent on the season. And they have been doing this by pounding it inside to Chism and Smith who have 87 points combined in the two wins.

2. Control the Boards
The Volunteers have won the rebound battle all year but stepped up big time in yesterday's win over Auburn. Miss State on average loses the glass 43 to 41.

Mississippi State Keys to Victory

1. Three Point Shooting
The Bulldogs are hitting a blistering 37 percent from beyond the arc this season led by Ravern Johnson who hits nearly 42 percent on 195 attempts. Vol opponents make a respectable 34 percent on the season so watch for Miss State to try and attack here.

2. Lock Down Defense
The Bulldogs held South Carolina to under 36 percent shooting and LSU hit only 31 percent. The Volunteers have been red hot shooting so something has to give. Miss State's smaller lineup will need big man James Varnado to play well on the inside.

Prediction
The aforementioned Varnado is a big question mark for this game. Can he improve on his eight point game in the last meeting. Can he slow down Tennessee's bigs inside. If those answers are yes then Miss State wins this one. If not, I still think Rick Stansbury's club has a shot because of their three point shooting.

Pick: Mississippi State

Mississippi State-Kentucky: Mitch Picks College Basketball 2/3/09

Feb 3, 2009

Mississippi State (14-7) at Kentucky (16-6)

The Line: Kentucky -10

Time: 7 PM EST

A little more than a week ago I was talking about how Kentucky was the best unranked team in the country, as luck would have it, the Wildcats haven't won since.

Mississippi State appeared to be in cruise control and a sure bet to make the field of 65 in this year's NCAA tournament, that is until they lost two of their last three games.

Both of these teams look to get their footing as while they still seem to have a cushion to work with to stay within those participating in postseason play, the comfort zone is quickly evaporating as conference play hits full speed and everyone is vying for postseason play.

MSU tends to lean on 6'7" guard Ravern Johnson who seemingly scores 20 on a routine basis as of late. Johnson doesn't have to do it alone though as the Bulldogs have solid participation up and down the bench.

For UK, it's Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson who lead the way. While Meeks has been considered the main shooting threat, Patterson has been scoring near 20 points per game as well and pounding the boards in the meantime. While this isn't a must win game in the grand scheme of things for wither team, it could go a long way towards cementing a tourney bid.

Mississippi State is 8-6-1 against the spread so far this season and Kentucky is 10-6-1 against the number. Mississippi State is 6-2 against the spread in their last eight overall and 5-2 against the spread in their last seven when playing against teams with a winning record.

Kentucky is 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 games overall and 7-3 against the spread when playing team with a winning record. The underdog has the edge in this series going 5-2-2 against the spread in the last nine meetings. I think the Wildcats in Rupp Arena are a tough task for anyone, but I'm not convinced they are better than the Bulldogs by double-digits.

Mitch's Pick: Mississippi State +10

It's The Battle of the Bulldogs as Georgia takes on Mississippi State

Jan 24, 2009

Mississippi State Bulldogs at Georgia Bulldogs
Saturday 6PM
TV: ESPN2

Mississippi State travels to Athens for a crucial conference game on Saturday. Why is it crucial for Miss State? Because if they lose this one then they have a dreaded loss vs a RPI 150+ team which the NCAA Tournament Committee does not look favorably upon.

Keys to the Game:

1. Offensive Rebounds

Georgia has not won an SEC game and only beaten one BCS team. That team (Virginia Tech) just upset the No. 1 team in the nation this week (Wake Forest), but lets not get carried away too soon. In that win, UGA had 16 offensive rebounds against Virginia Tech and attempted 10 more shots than the Hokies. Miss State does give up nearly 16 offensive rebounds per game which ranks near the bottom of Division I-A.

2. Turnovers

Also in the VT win, Georgia turned the ball over just 12 times which is five times less then their season average of 17. The Bulldogs of Miss State force just under 14 turnovers a game while turning it over 15 times themselves.

3. Fast Start

In Georgia's last three losses, all really bad losses, they have scored 32, 19, 18 and points in the first half. UGA needs to get off to a fast start to build some confidence.

Prediction

If Georgia can get off to a fast start and win the battle of the boards, they have a great shot in this one. Somehow, some way Georgia pulls off this upset behind the home crowd.

Georgia wins by 1-5 points

Other SEC Games This Weekend...
Arkansas over Auburn
Kentucky over Alabama
South Carolina over Ole Miss
Xavier over LSU

Florida vs Vanderbilt Preview a little later

Season: 6-5 SU
