onsistency is a key ingredient to the recent success enjoyed by the Mississippi State University basketball program, one that is stressed in the players’ daily activities on and Coff the basketball fl oor that has translated into the program’s recent run of national promi- nence gained under head coach Rick Stansbury. That consistency was brought to the forefront three years ago when MSU’s 13th-year head basketball coach became the all-time winningest basketball coach in school history, surpassing Richard Williams’ mark of 191. Now with a 13-year coaching record of 272-153 at the Bulldog helm, the 14th-most wins in SEC history, Stansbury has guided 10 State squads (6 NCAA & 4 NIT) to postseason tournament appearances and nine clubs to 20-plus wins campaigns. MSU has averaged 21.3 wins the last six years (2005-10), including winning an outright SEC overall championship in 2004, along with back-to-back SEC West crowns in the 2003-2004 and 2007-2008 seasons an another in 2010, and SEC Tournament titles in 2002 and 2009. Most recently, Stansbury piloted last year’s 24-12 State squad to its seventh SEC Western divi- sion crown in school history en route to advancing to the NIT, where the Bulldogs lost to North Rick Stansbury, 13th year Carolina in the second round. From 2001-05, he guided MSU to fi ve-consecutive postseason tournament appearances for the fi rst time in school history, including a streak of four straight NCAA Tournament berths from 2002 through 2005.

STARKVILLE - Mississippi State cele- brated Senior Day in grand fashion, beat- ing South Carolina a 60-58. The Bulldogs won a third-straight con- ference game for the fi rst time this sea- son and have now taken fi ve straight in the overall series from the Gamecocks. Ravern Johnson hit seven 3-point bas- kets, while Kodi Augustus recorded his ninth double-double of the season and also became the 32nd Bulldog ever to pull down 500 career rebounds, Renardo Sidney also had a double-double. Despite the superlatives, the game was in doubt until the waning seconds. With the Bulldogs leading 57-56, Au- gustus hit a fade-away jumper from about 10 feet out as the shot clock expired. That basket was good with 28 seconds left in regulation. The MSU bench was called for a technical when Stansbury entered the fl oor, attempting to call a timeout. Malik Cooke hit both free throws to bring the Gamecocks within one, at 59- 58. The Gamecocks also received pos- session. Dee Bost blocked a jumper by Bruce Ellington. The Bulldogs earned possession when the rebound was knocked out of bounds. Bost hit one of two free throws to up the lead. USC had one last chance, with Ellington missing a 3-pointer from the cor- ner as time expired. MSU led 29-23 at the break.
