MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin sent out a tweet on Friday saying "The actions that took place in Hawaii were embarrassing to all of us who love Mississippi State. This behavior will not be tolerated."
In a release from the university, coach Rick Stansbury expressed his disappointment.
"In my 13 years as a head coach, we've never had anything like this happen before," he said. "I am very disappointed in the actions of Elgin Bailey and Renardo Sidney and in no way does it reflect the overall picture of our program. It is not how we want our men's basketball team to be viewed nationally."
