This is what I’m thinking as well. That puts us 10-8 in a top 2 conference. With the SEC looking to put a record number of teams in this year(most ever 6), you have to like our chances on paper. But then I think back to 2010 when we beat Fla in the SEC tourney and they still get the bid over...
Funny that you mention Arians. I ran into him at the Westin hotel bar 2 fridays night ago. I told him that we pulled for him in Starkville since he once coached for us. He was quick to point out that he coach for us TWICE. He's a super cool guy and he has got a fan for life here.
He prefers meeting the ladies in person. I heard he was ecstatic when he first heard about the Tinder App but was sorely disappointed when he found out it wasn't the soft wood he likes.
Sell in bulk. Despite the glaring incompetence from Ray, I just don't see it meriting a mid-season fire. Now if you really want to see how low our basketball program can go, I say bring him back another year.
I don't doubt that a contract extension for Mullen will get done soon. I think after Bjork got played and grossly overpaid Freeze (in no Galaxy is 5th, 5th, and 3rd finishes in the West worth that 4.3mil), Strick was placed in a horrible negotiating position. Just because you have money...
Let's use the NCAA appearances as a measuring stick for greatest coaches in state history (Since several posters keep mentioning this). Stans 6 and McCarthy 1. Now we all know the reason why they didn't allow us to compete in the 60s, but you see what I just did?? If your not in the tourney...
This makes entirely too much sense. Stans should've also made the NCAA tourney the year he ran thru the SEC tourney (Vandy, Tenn, Florida) until the noncall Kentucky lane violation. Florida got in and we got the shaft. I'll always wonder had the ninja not had one foot out the door (and not...
The team that just went to the Final Four lost everyone but Tyrone Washington, Whit Hughes, and Bart Hyce. All bench players. Horrible analogy but decent try. Stans was also the first team left out of the tourney the year we lost 1st round NIT at Colorado State. It's on Ray shoulders at point.
Clearly you are in the "get rid of Stans" camp. U got your wish 3 years ago. Are u happy? If not, blame Scott. At this point, Stans is merely a memory and the greatest basketball coach MSU has ever had.
