Post showed good hands there even though he ended up dragging the pivot foot
This is such a "what might have been" season. We could easily be NCAA Tournament bound if we'd just played to our potential and not choked away easier games.
Ado seeemed surprised to get the ball, then slammed it.
Only shot I want him and Mathews takingQuote:

It took Howland waaay to long to figure out the rotation. Jalen Johnson and Matthews were getting too many minutes. Cost us the Dayton game and a couple of other wins.Quote:

Lots of family dogs gonna be kicked by state fans tonight... our fanbase hates a howland win
Got to build on it. Came out next week and lay another stinker like that Arkansas game. Find a way to cut down the turnovers.Quote:

IMO, Howland will be gone next year regardless. Privately, he's alluded to retiring. Hope he can make a deep run in the NCAA tourney next year and have our job look really attractive to a potential new coach.
Howland making a tourney, and then walking away next season is a perfect situation for us.Quote:

I think Howland is a decent coach. I think he used to be a very good coach. But he's not going to push the ball over the hill at MSU. It just comes down to if we're willing to be okay with that. Some are.Quote:
