Outplayed and outcoached

[fishwater99]

Howland is not the answer.

 

[GTAT]

Consider me underwhelmed too bro. I’ve been very disappointed.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Yup

 

[anon1787432961]

Out shot from 3. That's all. Wake up and welcome to 2010

 

[GTAT]

We need a total overhaul to our approach to basketball.

 

[dawgman42]

We were 23-11 on the year. There's zero impressive about that. That's decent to middling . . . nothing more.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

You think it’s time to can Howland?

 

[The Usual Suspect]

You think it’s time to can Howland?

I think it is time for Vic Schaefer to teach a sports psychology class to all our men's coaches.

 

[M R DAWGS]

This team hasn’t been very good all year. They don’t play team basketball. The fanbase has seen it all year. That’s why the home game crowds have sucked.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Coin flip says

YES!

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

No, but I have a familiar feeling that we've seen the ceiling come and go for another coach at MSU.

Agree 100%. Fans aren’t dumb.

 

[DoomSlayer]

I would give him next year. I suspect we will be projected to be a bubble team, so let’s see if he can get us back. If not, depending on the recruiting class, I would consider parting ways.

 

[patdog]

I saw all I needed to see from this team in the first Mississippi game. Never got invested in this team after that, thank goodness. And yeah, Howland is not the answer. He's not coasting through his retirement paycheck quite as bad as Bob Boyd did, but close enough.

 

[tired]

I just think he's lost his fire and competitive edge. A friend of mine said, he's just drawing a paycheck at this point. Howland's style may work if we had top-notched assistants, but we don't.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Was he at the game? I didn't notice.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

This team won't make the tournament next year. May even look totally different.

 

[Lazy Lightning]

Agree 100%. Fans aren’t dumb.

This is a bunch of BS. You think the team is mentally weak? How bout the fan base?

 

[mstateglfr]

We were 23-11 on the year. There's zero impressive about that. That's decent to middling . . . nothing more.

You think being ranked for much of the year and getting a 5 seed is middling?
Come the hell on.

 

[mstateglfr]

Agree 100%. Fans aren’t dumb.

This board continually delivers evidence to the contrary.

 

[ShrubDog]

Howland needs a thorough physical and mental examination.

 

[eckie1]

We had no business being a 5 seed to begin with.

As soon as I saw that, it was clear the committee had set us up like they do most 5 seeds. We were a 6 at best, and probably should have been a 7.

The worst part is we made an insignificant trip to the NCAAs, so we have to keep this **** coach AND #headcase Peters will be back. This program is dead.

Jesus, so now most 5 seeds are a set up?
I agree we were higher than I figured, but we were also right near where projections by outsiderd had us.
I thought we should have been a high 7.

Regardless, this sesson wasnt middling. Thats ********.

I didn’t say that “we were set up”, you 17ing idiot. There’s a reason so many 5 seeds lose every year. The committee overseeds/underseeds the 5/12 every year for drama and ratings.

 

[vandaldawg]

Yep.

 

[dawgman42]

You think being ranked for much of the year and getting a 5 seed is middling?

Yeah, I do. #6 seed in the SEC tournament. 10-8 in league play in Year 4 of Howland. Yes, I consider that decent, but not great. I didn't say we suck, and I don't want Howland out. I just think we underwhelmed and weren't impressive at all this year. We should have beaten the snot out of Liberty, but we slept-walked as we did many times this season, missed easy layups, didn't defend the perimeter, didn't use our height advantage on offense . . . and now we have no season. Simple really.

 

[dawgman42]

No, it's not. Let's see what he can do with what he has left and what he has coming in next year.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Yeah. I went back to the boxscore and it was all even except for 3 pointers.

Liberty
