Today was the first day of class and the very first college practice for three freshmen basketball players, day one of a journey with a coach in his first year on campus and a team playing together for the first time.
“The start of a new era for Mississippi State basketball,” Malik Newman told reporters after practice.
Newman, a point guard, is the newest star on campus, the All-American and No. 1 point guard in the country who chose to wear the same uniform his father once put on and play for the Bulldogs.
