15. Mississippi State
Coach: Ben Howland
2017-18 record: 25-12
Notable players definitely gone: Xavian Stapleton, Eli Wright
Other expected departures: None
Notable players expected to return: Quinndary Weatherspoon, Aric Holman, Nick Weatherspoon, Lamar Peters, Tyson Carter, Abdul Ado, Nick Singleton, E.J. Datcher, KeyShawn Feazell
Expected additions: Reggie Perry, Robert Woodard, DJ Stewart, Jethro Tshisumpa
Why the Bulldogs are ranked here: The top six scorers from a 25-win team that advanced to the semifinals of the NIT should be back, which will make Mississippi State a factor in the SEC and likely NCAA Tournament team for the first time under Ben Howland. Among the returning players is Quinndary Weatherspoon, who averaged a team-high 14.4 points and 6.0 rebounds this season. His brother, Nick, averaged 10.8 points while shooting 47.9 percent from the field.
