Miss. St. suspends two for fighting
HONOLULU (AP) – Two players from Mississippi State’s basketball team fought in the stands Thursday night between games at the Diamond Head Classic.
Sophomore forward Renardo Sidney and junior forward Elgin Bailey got into the altercation about 10 minutes before the tipoff of the game between tournament host Hawaii and Utah at the Stan Sheriff Center. Punches were thrown in the fight that lasted several minutes and was broken up by teammates.
Sidney was seen being escorted away by arena ushers and Honolulu Police, who said later that nobody was arrested.
Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury refused comment until he “finds out all the facts.”
Sidney scored 19 points in the Bulldogs’ 69-52 win over San Diego earlier Thursday while Bailey had two points.
