BURYBALL HAS OFFICALLY LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!

Loafersball is a more apt description....
Stans gave us a pretty good run and the past decade had very little to do with him.
Whatever you call it I hope it’s left the building and never returns.

We will be doing well if Ben Howland gets to as many NCAA tournaments in his MSU career as Rick Stansbury did.

No it takes 1 sweet 16 to surpass him in only one achievement. Howland won't have a better MSU resume than Bury for awhile. Nobody would unless they came in and immediately started racking up multiple deep NCAA runs and high SEC finishes.
How you finish in the NCAA Tourney is the most important thing in college basketball. The Overall SEC Conference Championship is 2nd.
I'm aware. It also isn't the only credential essential for a successful coaching resume. John Brady isn't a better coach or have a better resume than Stansbury and Brady went to the final four once.
You post that link and maybe it is a bit comical. But we do have some coaching issues. We go about 60% of our game just standing around running no offense at all hoping somebody makes a play. Look ill admit i was really frustrated last year with Howland. I saw a talented team that just wasnt getting it. And it was pretty obvious why. Why does this team rely so heavily on runs and confidence to play well? These guys can shoot. But the WHOLE TEAM sucks for 10 games at a time? That coaching. Howland doesn't appear to be the best motivator or xs and os guy. He gets great talent then kinda hopes a leader or 2 emerges to do the motivating. And im ok with that. But last yr it looked like the end. Msu basketball was hanging on to a thread. Even the other night i still had a hard time getting overly emotionally invested. I was excited but not like baseball or football. I used to care more. And hope this years team brings alllll of us back fully. But it was demoralizing thinking we might have made the wrong hire last yr. Because for some fans that might have been the end of giving a crap.
HD6.......FAKENEWS......This Was A Year Ago.........
I was young and stupid back then.
Unfortunately, I am not young anymore!!!

I do get that sentiment to an extent.....
But I think at some point a long run of good but not great can surpass a great flash in the pan.
What I mean by that is I think as a fan I would experience more sustained enjoyment watching a team average 20+ wins over 10-15 years with post season play most years including 5 or 6 NCAAT but never make past the first weekend than a team that averaged 15 wins over that time period and only one or two post seasons but with an elite 8 finish.

Credit where it's due... you came out looking like non-annoying, somewhat intelligent guy on that old thread.
I don't know how you pulled that off**
Kidding. You were right on.

NOPE, Stans left 7+ years ago. You been witnessing Rick Ray ball and the resulting aftermath of a disastrous MKB HC hire. But .. speaking of losers ..
Actually, BuryBall is finally BACK at the Hump.
We have a team capable of making the NCAA tourney again. It's been a while.

This is clearly not a popular opinion, but I’m right there with you. At some point, you obviously have to give credit to Howland and the team for continuing to win games, but it has to be at least a little bothersome that we had to absolutely shoot the lights out to beat Cincy at home and Clemson without their top scorer.
In addition, I think that most would agree that there have been numerous times this year where we’re not even pretending to run an offense, but Howland seems to be completely fine with that.
I don’t know... I guess you have to be thrilled with where we are at this point record-wise, but there still seems to be something badly missing from the team, and I’m afraid that we’re all going to come back down to earth in the near future.

It's a true big. Been missing for a decade.
I will say this: If Stans had been coaching, we would have blown the lead by stalling the last 5 minutes, then won by 2 after Cindy missed a last-second shot to win. It was really, really nice to see the team step on the gas down the stretch.
