MSU's Bost motivated for North Carolina STARKVILLE — Dee Bost is looking forward to Mississippi State’s game against North Carolina in the second round of the NIT.
The sophomore point guard, of Concord, N.C., believes he has something to prove when Mississippi State (24-11) hosts North Carolina (17-16) at Humphrey Coliseum at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The 6-foot-2 Bost was the Class 3A Player of the Year in North Carolina and he wants to play well against the Tar Heels because of what he perceived to be a lack of attention from North Carolina coach Roy Williams and his staff when he was being recruited.

College Sports MSU baseball team begins SEC play at Florida3/19/2010 1:19:00 PM STARKVILLE — As Mississippi State coach John Cohen sees it, there’s nothing that compares to league play in the Southeastern Conference.
Coming off a mid-week rout of Mississippi Valley State, the Bulldogs begin SEC play today at Florida.
Cohen is steadfast in his belief that there are no off weekends in the SEC and he’s hopeful last weekend’s games against UCLA, Oklahoma and Texas A&M Corpus Christi in the Whataburger Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas, have given the Bulldogs ample warmup for the three-game series against the Gators.

He knows his team’s strengths and that his team will try to press opponents on one end and light them up with a 3-point barrage on the other.
Oh, senior forward Alysha Clark, the nation’s leading scorer, probably will score a few points, too.
Now that everyone knows his team’s strategy for its game at 1:30 p.m. Sunday against seventh-seeded Mississippi State (19-12) in the first round of the NCAA tournament, the Middle Tennessee State coach won’t change a thing.
MTSU's Clark will present challenge for MSU3/18/2010 9:46:00 AM Alysha Clark realized early on she wasn’t going to have the size to be a dominant post player.
As someone who came to basketball at a relatively late age, Clark also understood she needed to master the “little things” if she was going to have success in the paint.
Those realizations and a fierce work ethic have helped make the 5-foot-10 Clark one of the nation’s best players. read more from this category
