When the fan base is pissed off that you lost a game all of the armchair coaches would have certainly won, you are in trouble.

When the fan base doesn't even get mad any more when you lose, you are done.

Good point. I'm to the point where the losses don't hurt anymore and I used to pull my hair out and throw **** when we lost in hoops.

I have not been to a basketball game in two years after rarely missing one for the previous five years. This team and coach suck too bad to even waste time caring about much less spending money on.

I generally am never in favor of midsession firings but Ray needs to take the winter off.

I usually get pissed when MSU loses in any sport and I am honestly to the point of having no emotion for basketball anymore.

Did anyone see the last play when we had a chance to tie or win the game? WTF was that? I hope we can draw up a better play going forward. I don't know much about RR's past, but heard this morning he had been an assistant coach for seventeen years. If this is true, what does that say about his potential as a head coach in the eyes of other AD's and why did we hire him? I do know he retained GB from the previous staff. Can someone explain that?

I was out getting Christmas stuff like double barrel Woodford's, which JUCO

team did we lose to?

I totally missed the game. Let me guess... we shot ******, turned it over a bunch and had zero leadership on the court.

Did I get it right?

Boy I sure miss the days of Randy Stewart and players that were worth a ****.

Poor play drawn up

I was at the game and i don't understand the play either. A running off balance shot from the top of the circle???? I have to admit that both teams played defense with a lot of effort. But offensively, MSU looked lost. USC upstate moved the ball with a lot of zip and MSU had no movement offensively at all . No team chemistry. The coliseum was virtually empty, but understandably so. USC upstate just played with more grit and wanted it more. Guess I will also just tune out and look forward to baseball. Still don't understand RR comments that even though he was satisfied with defensive effort, that trying to solve offensive problems would take more time. He might not have much more time. Sounded a lot like Croom who said it took years for players to learn the West coast offense when the kids are only on the team for a few years in the base case.

Gave up my 4 seats for the first time in 9 years this season. I didn't mind spending the money when the seats were at least being used by someone, but there are better ways to burn a grand than on tickets that I can't even give away
