Ravern Johnson was suspended for the game last night due to missing classes, but ultimately it didn't matter. The Bulldogs pulled out a win in classically sloppy style over Alabama State. The Bulldogs looked slow, lazy, and sloppy but there were some bright spots. Riley Benock seems to finally be coming out of his shell and has improved his offense. Elgin Bailey is looking better and better, and freshman Shaun Smith played well except for a few freshman mistakes.
Tonight marks the (hopefully) triumphant debut of Renardo Sidney on the hardwood. I expect Rick Stansbury to play Sidney 18-20 minutes to see what kind of "game-shape" he's in before heading to the Bahamas this weekend to take on Virginia Tech. Rumor has it that Rick and Renardo have been doing the P90X workout together for several weeks, which, if true, is good news for MSU fans who have expressed some concern about Sidney's weight and conditioning. Just a few short hours and this young man will finally be able to play again after an almost 2 year suspension by the NCAA for what they deemed as "lying to the NCAA." Insert sarcastic comment about Cam and Cecil Newton here.
Good luck, Bulldogs... make us proud, and GO DAWGS!
