The SEC West just got a little softer with Mario Austin leaving Mississippi State to go to the NBA. The West looks pretty wide open next year with all the top teams losing key players. MSU- Zimmerman, Austin, Ignerski; Bama- Dudley, Meade; Auburn- Daniels LSU- Dupree, Bright, Temple. I think LSU has a chance to win next year if the freshman turn out to be as good as advertised. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/news/2003/04/08/missst_austin_ap/
