MSU(10-7, 2-1 SEC) came into the season with high hopes. Returning Dee Bost(who had to serve a lengthy suspension, but would be back for SEC play) Ravern Johnson, Kodi Augustus, and other contributers wasn't the biggest story. Renardo Sidney, at one point arguably the biggest recruit in the USA, would debut after serving his 9 game suspension. The plan was to make it through the non conference schedule without too many losses and dominate the SEC with the talented starting line up of Kodi, Ravern, Dee, Renardo, and 3-point shooting Riley Benock.
But there were major setbacks, including the fight between Renardo and Elgin Bailey that resulted in Elgin transferring and Renardo serving yet another suspension(his third). The last month has been tough for MSU basketball fans indeed, many losses, 2 transfers, a fight, suspensions, and more, but the worst seems to be behind us. MSU is riding a 2 game winning streak including a win over that school up north. On January 22nd, MSU will match up against #24 Georgia(13-3, 2-1 SEC) for a sure test. If they can win the will be 3-1 and at the top of the SEC West standings. After all MSU has been through this year, they have a legit shot at winning the west and having a shot at winning the SEC tourney. Without an automatic bid into the NCAAT can we still get in? It will be tough, but only time will tell. But a good goal for now will be to win the west, and honestly, it's ours for the taking.
