MSU women fall short of first SEC win

STARKVILLE -- Close doesn't mean anything to Diamber Johnson. It didn't after the second Southeastern Conference loss to Arkansas, and it meant even less Thursday night after yet another frustrating performance.

Stansbury bans Twitter for MSU men

The Mississippi State men's basketball team thought point guard Dee Bost would be the talisman to help calm the rough waters of a difficult non-conference journey, but his presence hasn't been enough to keep off-the-court issues from hovering over the team.

Rose looks to transform EMCC baseball

Don't waste time with Chris Rose. If you do, the new East Mississippi Community College baseball coach will leave you behind, or at least start without you. If he has to go ahead and you're not there, he will let you know about it and make sure you're not late again.

Dudy Gras 5.5 begins today regardless of the weather. The parade, though, could be a game-time decision.

Depth a strength for MSU men's tennis

STARKVILLE -- A year makes all the difference. Last spring, the Mississippi State men's tennis team leaned on players who hadn't played at the top of the lineup.

Gibbs, Kessinger will return to manage at Ole Miss

MSU satisfied with class of 22

STARKVILLE -- Unmoved by how others rate his 2011 recruiting class, Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen locked up 22 players Wednesday he feels "fit" the program standard. Never mind the stars next to their names on recruiting websites or the hoopla surrounding their National Signing Day decisions -- Mullen doesn't keep up with that.

Alabama men sweep MSU

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Mississippi State men's basketball team's road woes continue. After beating then-No. 24 University of Florida on Saturday at home, MSU thought it had cured the ills of an up-and-down start to league play. Instead, it reverted to the form that saw it lose by 22 at Georgia and dropped its second-straight Southeastern Conference road game Wednesday night at Alabama.

MSU lands big recruiting haul in secondary

STARKVILLE -- The Mississippi State football team's 22-player signing class might not have been highly touted, but coach Dan Mullen feels it addressed needs. Though MSU inked just one linebacker -- Rosa Fort's Bernardrick McKinney -- to help cope with the loss of All-Southeastern Conference players KJ Wright and Chris White, the Bulldogs signed four offensive linemen and three running backs. The Bulldogs' biggest haul was in the secondary, where they signed five defensive backs, led by Stone County safety Dee Arrington. Athlete Taveze Calhoun also could wind up at defense back.

Ole Miss signs top in-state talent

OXFORD -- The University of Mississippi endured a difficult football season in the fall, stumbling to a 4-8 record and last place in the Southeastern Conference Western Division. Coach Houston Nutt said his program went a long way toward rectifying those problems Wednesday, when the Rebels announced a 22-person signing class that fills needs in almost every area.

Alabama gets split signing day decisions

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- University of Alabama coach Nick Saban went in search of athletic defensive linemen and a few imposing blockers on offense. The Crimson Tide has stocked up on both and apparently isn't giving up hope of bringing in the two biggest lineman prizes.

Rector hopes to work into bigger role for MSU women

STARKVILLE -- Danielle Rector is getting closer. The junior has shown in flashes she has the ability to contribute to the Mississippi State women's basketball team. Whether it is stretching defenses with her 3-point shooting or keeping post players honest with her driving ability, the 6-foot-1 forward has provided positive minutes on the offensive end.

MSU/Starkville Sports blog: Mullen not fazed by rankings

STARKVILLE -- Dan Mullen isn't concerned with recruiting rankings. Nor does he care about anyone's perception of why his Mississippi State Bulldogs had six players de-commit and only land two Dandy Dozen players -- the least they've signed since 2006. To him, the 22 players in the 2010 class fit his mission of landing the top players in-state and filling needs.

Mississippi State signees

Dan Mullen's third recruiting class at Mississippi State includes 22 signees (as of 11:25 a.m.). Fifteen players are from the state of Mississippi, and two are junior college transfers. Rivals.com currently rankes MSU's class 42nd in the country, while Scout.com has the Bulldogs at No. 40.

Sidney, MSU front court face tough task against 'Bama bigs

STARKVILLE -- Renardo Sidney once claimed to be "unstoppable" in the post. "No one in the nation or the world," Sidney proclaimed in December, could match him on the block. Except maybe University of Alabama forward JaMychal Green. Sidney was held to two points and five turnovers in a loss to the Crimson Tide on Jan. 8, the worst performance of his eight-game college career.

Warren's trey helps Ole Miss upset No. 10 Kentucky

OXFORD -- Chris Warren's college career isn't over, so he didn't want to rank his best moments just yet. But with a wide grin, the University of Mississippi point guard admitted the high-arcing, 3-pointer that beat No. 10 Kentucky on Tuesday night will rank close to the top no matter what happens the rest of the season.
