Chooses Mississippi State Brooks announced Thursday that he is transferring to play at Mississippi State next season, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.
Impact A lot of people anticipated Brooks making this move due to his father being an assistant coach for the Bulldogs. Brooks was named the preseason ACC Player of the Year after averaging 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds in 34.8 minutes per game as a junior but took a step back this year while averaging just 10.2 points and 6.9 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game. He did deal with some ankle issues throughout parts of the season, although it's unclear if that had anything to do with the decline in his numbers. Brooks should immediately be slotted into the Bulldogs' starting lineup for next season and will look to return to peak form under the guidance of his father and head coach Ben Howland.

Doesn't appear to be available Sunday Smith (not injury related) is out of the starting lineup for a third consecutive game and isn't expected to play in Sunday's NIT championship game against Memphis.
Impact Smith has been held out due to COVID-19 contact tracing, however, Tyler Horka of The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reported after Saturday's win that Smith has tested negative four days in a row but is still caught up in the team's protocol. Smith tweeted out 90 minutes before Sunday's championship matchup that it's "been a fun season" which ultimately suggests he won't be returning for the game. The 6-10 sophomore finished the year averaging 12.6 points and 8.5 rebounds in 30.7 minutes per game and is expected to return to the Bulldogs for another year.

Unavailable Saturday Smith (not injury related) is unavailable once again for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech due to COVID-19 contact tracing, according to the ESPN broadcast.
Impact Smith was held out for Thursday's 68-67 win over Richmond because of contact tracing and apparently still hasn't cleared protocols despite testing negative four days in a row. The Bulldogs lack some depth down low behind Smith and are going with a different lineup for a second straight game while he's still sidelined. It's unclear if he'd be ready for Sunday's championship game if the Bulldogs can advance past Louisiana Tech.

Heading back to bench Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech.
Impact Tolu Smith was held out in the narrow win over Richmond on March 25 due to COVID-19 contact tracing which allowed for Davis to make his first start of the season. The 6-9 sophomore had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 24 minutes but will come off the bench again with Cameron Matthews entering the starting lineup instead.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Saturday Matthews is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech.
Impact Matthews is getting his first start since Jan. 30 as Tolu Smith remains out of the starting lineup and possibly out of action altogether due to COVID-19 contact tracing. Matthews has averaged just 2.1 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game this season but has the channce to step up in a big moment and lead the Bulldogs to the NIT Championship.

Sits due to contact tracing Smith was held out of Thursday's 68-67 win over Richmond in the NIT tournament due to COVID-19 contact tracing, Tyler Horka of The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reports.
Impact Smith hadn't missed a game all season prior to Thursday, but the Bulldogs managed to pull out a win over Richmond with Javian Davis filling in at center. Mississippi State will play Saturday against an opponent yet to be determined, and it's unclear if Smith will be able to return in just two days. If that's the case, Davis, who registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and seven rebounds while committing two turnovers, figures to start again.
MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Thursday Smith is unavailable for Thursday's NIT game versus Richmond for an unknown reason, Steve Robertson of 247Sports reports.
Impact Sources reportedly told Robertson that Smith's absence wasn't disciplinary and he didn't violate any team rules, so it's unclear exactly why the big man is unavailable at this time. Coach Ben Howland will clarify the situation following Thursday's contest, but Javian Davis will replace him in the starting five.
