Troy's veteran coach Don Maestri remembers the last time he saw a Mississippi State team this talented. It was 1996. The Bulldogs went to the NCAA Final Four. "They might not have as much experience, but the players?" Maestri said. "Absolutely as talented." Dee Bost scored a season-high 28 points, Arnett Moultrie added 20 points and 12 rebounds and Mississippi State (No. 18 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP) cruised to a 106-68 victory over Troy on Saturday at Humphrey Coliseum.
