2007 Mississippi State Basketball Predictions &
Season Preview
Jimmy Boyd's 2007 Mississippi State
basketball predictions and season preview shows a
team that should progress from a year ago and be poised
for a decent run in the NCAA tournament. If you
didn't know the Bulldogs won the SEC West last year with
an 8-8 record, then rolled through to the NIT semifinal
before losing to West Virginia. The team returns a
solid core and is looking for some of last year's
freshman to make the jump in their sophomore season.
Rick Stansbury also thinks that the extended post-season
will give the team experience in the win or go home
format to enable them to make a run in the tournament.
We have to agree as we see this being a potential Sweet
16 team,

Charles Rhodes will be depended on down low, and he's going to have to show some
more consistency than he gave a year ago if this team is going to repeat as SEC
West champions. After averaging nearly 14 points per game and six rebounds
last year, he thought about making the move to the NBA, but didn't get good
enough marks from the scouts. Rhodes will look to Jarvis Varnado to give
him some help this season. Varnado wasn't bulky enough to endure through
the long season as a freshman, but after putting on some muscle in the
off-season a lot is going to be expected of him in the paint. A couple of
freshman will also have a chance to shine. Kodi Augustus and Elgin Bailey
are pretty big for youngsters and played against each other in Baton Rouge.
Jamont Gordon showed why he was one of the most dominate point guards in the SEC
last year by scoring, rebounding, and getting the ball to his teammates.
He played over 32 minutes per game and added 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5.3
assists in that time on the floor. Ben Hansbrough and Barry Stewart are a
couple of sophomores that will have a bigger role on this year's squad.
Each one of these guys can extend the floor with their three-point shooting and
seemed to get better as the season progressed. There are some incoming
freshman here with talent as well which should give the school some depth at the
guard position.
