Recently spoke to a person, who has been a coach and involved with the basketball program for a long time, and he says that Sidney (barring injury) will probably go down as one of the top MSU basketball players, if not the best, ever to don a maroon and white uni in the Hump. If he's just 75% of what I've heard he is, we should be in for a nice season.
So to answer your question 11-5 SEC record and 1 tourney win should be a solid lock for field of 64. If Sidney is as advertised, ESPN will be all over it and that never hurts.
