Big changes in store for overhauled Mississippi StSTARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — A complete overhaul has rendered Mississippi State's basketball program barely recognizable from a year ago. Longtime coach Rick Stansbury is gone. So are all five starters. In their place is first-year coach Rick Ray and a band of Bulldogs that are mostly inexperienced, undersized or both. From the outside looking in, it appears a long season is in store. But Ray — who came to Starkville after two seasons as an assistant at Clemson — isn't ready to call this a rebuilding project. He'll build around the only two players who played a significant role last season. Junior Jalen Steele averaged 8.7 points per game and was second on the team with 70 3-pointers. Senior Wendell Lewis averaged 3.8 points while also leading the team with 30 blocked shots. |
