Lebby feels 'layups' could reignite State's offense

STARKVILLE – Every minute matters. In the midst of a four-game losing streak that’s included a slew of injuries, both lingering and season-ending, Mississippi State head coach Jeff Lebby is working to get the most it can out of those that are able to go. So far the results have not been stellar, as the Bulldogs have scored just 18 points in their last 13 quarters. During the team’s press ...

Mississippi State head coach Jeff Lebby emphasized the importance of making layups to reignite the Bulldogs' offense and turn the tide of their four-game losing streak. Despite the team's struggles, Lebby remains focused on getting the most out of his players and putting them in positions to succeed. In a recent press conference, Lebby highlighted the need for the team to capitalize on scoring opportunities, particularly layups, to give themselves a better chance to win.

He acknowledged that the offense needs improvement, especially in comparison to when Kamario Taylor was healthy, but stressed that it's his responsibility to put his players in a position to make the plays that could lead to victory. Lebby also noted that the Tigers have a significant historical advantage over Mississippi State, having won the all-time series 66-28-2, but the two teams have split their last ten meetings dating back to 2014.

The Bulldogs' next matchup against Auburn is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 at 11 a.m., with the location and broadcast details to be announced later.
