I always like to see what the other team’s newspapers are saying about the upcoming contest with the Cats. This is by Jim Mashek from [URL=”http://www.sunherald.com/”]SunHerald.com[/URL].

Mississippi State is going to have to be on top of its game, and the Bulldogs are going to have to play out of their minds, to have a shot in this one. Can they do it? Sure. South Carolina beat Kentucky, and other than point guard Devan Downey, there’s nothing exceptional about the Gamecocks.

This is the game that I am scared of. The Cats are coming off of a game that was a National Event and the spotlight was firmly put on the Cats. Now they have to go to “Starkvegas”, as Mashek put it, and try to get up for the Bulldogs.

Anyway, for the Bulldogs to have a chance, they’re going to need big games from Bost, who scored a career-high 32 points against Auburn, and senior center Jarvis Varnado, the human swat machine who will soon become college basketball’s all-time blocked-shots leader. Varnado had 12 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in the Auburn game. He’s the real deal.

Bost will have to have the same game to have a chance to beat the Cats. Guards hitting 3s scare me. I am not worrried about the paint because I think they(Cousins and Varnardo) will cancel each other out. Patrick Patterson will have to contribute and I look for a big night, if we are to win, from Darnell Dodson, DeAndre Liggins, or Darius Miller. They have to hit big shots!!
