10 KEY THINGS TO NOTE PLAYING APPALACHIAN STATEaIn the season opener against Tennessee State, senior guard Ravern Johnson became the 32nd player in school history to score 1,000 for a career.aAgainst TSU, the Bulldogs had three first-time starters — F Elgin Bailey, G Twany Beckham and G Riley Benock.aThe Bulldogs also had three players making their Maroon & White debuts — G Brian Bryant, G Shaun Smith and G Jalen Steele.aRavern Johnson’s 32 points were the most by an MSU player in a season opener since Ray White totaled 34 against Indiana State on Dec. 1, 1975. That night also marked the opening of Humphrey Coliseum.aAs far as Appalachian State-Mississippi State connections are concerned, MSU has just one player on its roster from North Carolina — junior guard Dee Bost (Concord). ASU has no one on its roster from Mississippi.aOf all the active players in the SEC, Ravern Johnson currently ranks 4th with 1,000 points. Kodi Augustus is 10th with 297 rebounds, while Dee Bost is first with 344 assists.aThe Bulldogs received six points in the Associated Press poll and eight points in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’ polls.aDue to NCAA suspensions, sophomore Renardo Sidney and junior Dee Bost won’t be eligible until Dec. 18 and Jan. 8, respectively.aKodi Augustus was one of six players in the SEC to record a double-double on opening night.aDating back to last season, 20 of MSU’s last 24 games have been decided by 10 points or less (11-9 in those games).

COACHING FACTS

FIRST-TImE FOESuFor the second-straight game, Missis-sippi State is playing an opponent for the first time. But it doesn’t just stop with Tennessee State and Appalachian State, either. In addition, the Bulldogs have never faced Florida Atlantic or North Carolina A&T.

ALL-SEC HONORSuIn the preseason polls that were an-nounced back in October, Mississippi State had two players receive All-SEC honors as voted on by the league coaches. Junior point guard Dee Bost was tabbed first team, while senior Ravern Johnson received second-team accolades. Neither made the media selections.


mSU ENJOYS mORE NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS Including last year’s 13-4 mark in non-conference action, coupled with this season’s 1-0 record, Mississippi State has compiled a 136-42 (.764) record against non-conference opponents during the Rick Stansbury era (since 1998-99), including a 126-33 (.792) regular-season mark.

mISSISSIPPI STATE’S RECORD WHEN . . . During the Rick Stansbury era, the Bulldogs are: 202-31 when leadingat halftime; 175-33 when shooting 45 percent or better from the field; 215-67 (1-0 this year) when the opposition shoots less than 45 percent from the field; 201-73 (1-0) when out-rebounding or tying opponents; and 155-28 (1-0) when holding opponents to 65 points or less.

BOmBS AWAY . . . AGAIN AND AGAIN Last year, Mississippi State set a single-season record with 296 made 3-pointers, an average of 8.2 an outing. In just one game, the Bulldogs are already ahead of that pace. Against Tennessee State in the opener on Nov. 12, MSU drained 10 of its 23 attempts. Last year, Ravern Johnson led MSU with 87 3-pointers on 214 at-tempts, exceeding his total of 83 in 2008-09, the third-most in school his-tory. Darryl Wilson currently holds the top two spots with 97 in 1996 and 94 in 1995. And like his team, Johnson is ahead of schedule. Against TSU, he was 5-of-9 beyond the arc.

1,000 POINT CLUB WELCOmES NEWEST mEmBER It didn’t take Ravern Johnson long to reach one of the biggest mile-stones in his career - becoming the 32nd member of the 1,000-point club. In the season opener against Tennessee State, the senior from Lyon, Miss., scored a career-high 32 points to give him exactly 1,000 for his career. His induction into the club came on two free throws with 18 seconds left in the game.

BEST IN THE SEC TO START THE YEAROpening night in the SEC, only one school could say it had the top scorer and top rebounder. And of course, it was Mississippi State. While Ravern Johnson’s 32 points led the league, Kodi Augustus’ 14 rebounds were tops as well. Johnson’s five made 3-pointers were also tops in the SEC.

ImPRESSIVE DEBUTSMaking their Mississippi State debuts against TSU were Brian Bryant, Shaun Smith and Jalen Steele. All three were impressive, as Bryant had seven points, six assists and five rebounds, while Steele had eight points and Smith three. Smith’s 3-pointer came at the buzzer that tied the game at halftime, 31-31.

Meet the head coach

Rick Stansbury, 13th year

Consistency 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 off the basketball floor 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 256-140 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 Carolina in the second round. From 2001-05, he guided MSU to five-consecutive postseason tournament appearances for the first time in school history, including a streak of four straight NCAA Tournament berths from 2002 through 2005.

Mississippi State is now 149-37 (.800) overall at Humphrey Coliseum under Stansbury’s direction, including a 71-25 (.740) SEC mark and a 78-12 (.867) record against non-conference opponents.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State scored the final 11 points en route to a 75-66 win against Lindsey Wilson College.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State’s Ravern Johnson poured in a career high 32 points as the Bulldogs defeated Ten-nessee State 75-65 in the season opener. With his monster night, Johnson also became the 32nd Bulldog in program his-tory to score 1,000 career points. The Bulldogs won the contest on the defensive end, breaking away from a 31-all halftime tie with a decisive 15-4 run in the back stretch of the game’s final half. The Bulldogs scored the game’s first five points and actually held some type of lead until TSU’s Robert Covington drained a 3-point basket placing the Ti-gers on top, 18-17. The lead would then be possessed by the visitors until Shaun Smith drained a 3-point basket as the half expired, forcing the 31-all tie. Johnson took matters in his own hands in the final half, tallying 25 points, includ-ing four treys. The Bulldogs built a 40-33 lead with 16:29 remaining, only to see the Tigers go back up 46-44 with 9:14 left. Back-to-back 3’s by Johnson gave the Maroon and White the lead for good. The 15-4 run was capped by Johnson’s final trey. That basket placed the Bulldogs on top 62-51 with 4:00 remaining.
