Mississippi State looks to return to NCAA Tournament form after slipping a season ago
Mississippi State (13-19, 5-13 SEC) It’s a “prove it” year in Starkville for coach Chris Jans. He became the head coach ahead of the 2022-23 season and the Bulldogs incrementally improved from there, reaching the First Four that season and the Round of 64 the next two. However, State took a step backward last season, missing March Madness entirely and finishing the year with a losing record. Josh Hubbard has established himself as one of the better shooters in America and one of the better players in the SEC, but the challenge for MSU is finding the cast to support their top producer. Players to watch Hubbard, a senior from Madison, Mississippi, was named by the SEC as a preseason all-conference player. His 22.1 points per game not only led the maroon and white, but were also the second most in the SEC. He did so while averaging three 3-pointers a game last season. His 311 career 3-pointers are already a program record — tied for the ninth most in conference history. Departures and arrivals Mississippi State’s next five average scorers after Hubbard last season — Jayden Epps, Ja’Borri McGhee, Quincy Ballard, Achor Achor and Shawn Jones — all have

OU football hasn't figured out offense since Jeff Lebby left. Now, they face off
Mississippi State football coach Jeff Lebby faces Oklahoma, his alma mater, for the first time as a head coach on Saturday, Oct. 24, when the Bulldogs host the Sooners in Starkville, Mississippi. Lebby goes way back with Oklahoma coach Brent Venables, even before the Sooners coach hired Lebby as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator — a position he held from 2022-23 before being hired by Mississippi State. Lebby signed with the Sooners as an offensive lineman in 2002, but an injury ended his career prematurely and he served as a student assistant with the program through 2006, which overlapped with Venables' early stint as Oklahoma's defensive coordinator. REQUIRED READING: How Bob Stoops knew Jeff Lebby could coach, even as an Oklahoma freshman | Exclusive The 42-year-old coach hangs his hat on explosive offense, which has been the case this season for the Bulldogs (when first-year starter Kamario Taylor has been healthy). His offenses at Oklahoma were also prolific. The Sooners, on the other hand, can't say the same since Lebby parted from the program. Their offense has been one of the worst in Power Four since Lebby left, and there's a chance they're looking for their third offensive coordinator in four seasons
