Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury was admitted Sunday night to Oktibbeha County Hospital with migraines and then went to Northeast Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo on Monday for more testing.</p>Assistant Robert Kirby told ESPN.com on Monday that he spoke with Stansbury and he fully expected him to coach the Bulldogs in Thursday night's SEC/Big East Challenge against Cincinnati at U.S. Bank Arena. Kirby said Stansbury had never experienced migraines before and wanted to get them checked when his condition did not improve. He said he wouldn't be surprised if Stansbury attended practice Monday. The Bulldogs are coming off a 19-point win over South Alabama after a loss at home to Charlotte in which the Bulldogs were "out-toughed," according to Kirby. He said the Bulldogs went to a smaller lineup around shot-blocker
Jarvis Varnado but are still looking for more on-court leadership moving forward. Mississippi State is still looking for that high-major win after losing to Washington State and Texas Tech in Newark at the Legends Classic last month. Over the next few weeks, the Bulldogs play San Diego, Houston and Western Kentucky at home before starting SEC play at Arkansas.
