And the starting 5 or WTF is he thinking.
Jones, Epps, Hubbard, Achor and Ballard. Well at least he is going with 3 guards.

I don?t care if they make the Tourney. That guy needs to seek Therapy for continuing to start 5!
lol, it's bizarre. Unless he's trying to make some point about max effort will play.Quote:

Epps
McGhee
Walker/Macura/JDF
Ballard/Walker
is the most effective lineup imo.
Walker misses too much point blank
Walker shoots way too much
We have 4 TOs, and jones has 3 of them
He's regressed to an unplayable level.Quote:

We need to prepare ourselves. SEC play is going to be a struggle.
Braves start ST in 60 something days. I don't think state MBK will help pass the time... perhaps the grizzlies can help
Good win. Macura should not be anywhere near the floor when the opponent has to foul to save clock. He couldn?t throw it in the ocean from the beach! Those 4 free throws were not even close other than actually hitting the rim at some point.
When 12 is 30+ and we have to hang on for the win....oh boy, we going to suck hard this year.
I started fallout 4 lol.Quote:

It was a good win last night. It's not like LB is a Swac team. No doubt we have some issues but screaming are yelling at players isn't one. Bobby Knight says hold my beer. I much rather have a Coach who has no problem getting on his players, Nick Saban told Knight to pass him a beet also*
Amazing the bitching about a win. But.....That's ED.
it never gets old with some. Jans is working his ass off and we have bitching and moaning from so called experts. oh wellQuote:

We havent shown improvement in finish any year under Jans. Our best player he got - we only got cause OM fired their coach.
His style of hustle defense being the most important thing is 20 years behind modern basketball.
Our "success in making the tournament" coincides with the rise in paying players having heightened the floor for all SEC teams. Correlation is not causation here - Jans is not the driver of our success, he's passenger and Ben Frank is the driver.
This year, he's yanked the steering wheel from Ben and crashed us into a ravine.
134th in NET with a top 50 payroll is unacceptable. Losing to San Francisco is unacceptable. Developing Shawn Jones absolutely 0 in four years is unacceptable. Playing Shawn Jones 30+ minutes is unacceptable.
Evaluating against our history - I get why people believe this is blasphemy. But evaluate against reality. Dude doesn't develop players and sucks at roster management. Why the **** are we playing close games with Long Island, San Francisco, New Mexico, New Orleans and Southeastern. Even managing to lose to some of them.
The $ gap between us and those programs is massive. If we give coaches a pass because Kentucky way outspends us on basketball then we gotta ream them for finding ways to lose a bigger gulf in dollars.
We could get the UNO head coach for an eighth of Jan's salary and put the other $3.5 million towards a roster salary. That dude makes like $200k a year right now. With NIL - the coaching salary bubble needs to burst. Jans ain't producing enough WAR to justify $4.2 million a year.
Call Selmon then..........bet he has no idea?
Epps had 20 and Hubbard has 34, and we won by 4. We were the 3rd P4 team they've faced. They lost byQuote:

Obviously you don't know much about Msu basketball history. We have been to 13 Ncaa tournaments total. Guess how many successful coaches we have had over our history? Jans is old school, with the NIL its a struggle for football and. Asketball for Msu. Coaches are gonna be hard to get.Quote:

Jans crapped the bed in the portal. It is ok to admit it. He has earned another year to fix it.Quote:

We've been in the tourney 14 times in our history, and 3 of those are under Jans (.214). It's not hard to see that Jans has done a great job here.Quote:
