We all know we have no shot for a title in football, but even ESPN thinks we do in Basketball......Look out for The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Renardo Sidney Show</span> in December.
SEC West
</p>
1. Mississippi State: The Bulldogs' season will likely rest on point guard Dee Bost's
eligibility. After declaring for the NBA draft, he went undrafted and
is hoping for reinstatement from the NCAA. Sharpshooter Ravern Johnson is one of the country's most underrated players.</p>Renardo Sidney, Mississippi State:
Sidney has to sit the first nine games after missing his entire
freshman year while the NCAA looked into his amateur status. If Sidney
returns to his form as a dominating high school forward, then the
Bulldogs will get one of the top big men in the country. He has the
ability, if he's in shape, to be a force inside. But he has to use
November and December wisely while he sits out.
Mississippi State vs. Virginia Tech, Bahamas, Dec. 18: This game matches two teams that feel they're NCAA worthy but will have to prove themselves prior to conference play. Renardo Sidney
will be eligible by this time after sitting out the first nine games.
The Bulldogs may not have the experienced guard play to handle the
Hokies but Virginia Tech may have a hard time with Sidney in the post.</p>

Mississippi State vs. Washington State, Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii, first round, Dec. 22:
Yes, you're reading this correctly: The Bulldogs are going from the
Bahamas to Honolulu. It's quite the dream vacation for the program. But
it won't turn out to be memorable if Mississippi State doesn't handle
its business. The Cougars are a sleeper pick in the Pac-10 and this
game will test the Bulldogs' defense in trying to contain Wazzu's big
three in Klay Thompson, Reggie Moore and DeAngelo Casto. Winner likely
gets Baylor in the second round.
