4 BULLDOG BITES MSU'S ALL-SEC SELECTIONS In the preseason All-SEC team selection, Mississippi State had two players receive league honors as voted on by the league coaches. Junior point guard Dee Bost was tabbed fi rst team, while senior Ravern Johnson received second-team accolades. Neither made the media selections. HAVING JUST FOUR IS INDEED AN ODDITY Against Florida game, MSU had only four players score Dee Bost, Ravern Johnson, Kodi Augustus and Renardo Sidney. The last time that happened for MSU was at Oklahoma on Feb. 10, 1996, in a win. The last time it happened for any time was last March, when Ohio had only four score against Miami (OH). SEEING PLENTY OF GAME ACTION Logging minutes isn t an issue for MSU players. Ravern Johnson leads the SEC with his 35.7 minutes despite missing three games due to suspension and playing limited minutes in another. Also playing 30-plus minutes are Dee Bost (35.3), Riley Benock (31.9) and Kodi Augustus (31.3). 19 AND COUNTING FOR JOHNSON During his career, Ravern Johnson has made four or more 3-pointers in a game 21 times, including the fi ve he made against Nicholls State on Dec. 13.
