We could do a reboot version of Wizard of Oz, with instead of characters missing their brains, hearts, and courage, it's....actually....probably the same thing, just without the flying monkeys.**Quote:

Do we practice with a different size ball than what is being used tonight because we don't seem familiar with it based on the amount of times we have fumbled it.
That was not interference.
And once again screwed by officials.
What have we done to get this treatment from the SEC?
Can?t recall another State team in all my years that has exhausted everything in me like this one has. This team is an enigma beyond comprehension.Quote:

Doesn't matter but sure isn't fun getting ****ed by the refs.
This is actually incredible that every game is the same. It is hilariously painful.
Agreed on the call but it wouldn't matter. We weren't winning this game anyway. We gave it a run but any MSU fan who didn't think we'd blow the lead is simply lying.Quote:

Agree. I can't think of one either.Quote:

Move the students, hire an up and coming coach. Bring back MSU basketball.
Is it bad I actually had more faith in Rick Ray winning a game like this than Howland? Even though Ray wasn?t a good coach and recruited Sun Belt talent his players did the best they could given the situation they were put in. Ware, Chicken and Thomas always gave it their all. Nothing is more frustrating to me than a coach with talent that underachieves so bad.
Probably not but you can't get that call so wrong on a clear replay and they even called it good initially. The evidence showed it was clearly outside the cylinder.Quote:

They didn?t take the bucket away because it was above the cylinder. They took it away because they said the foul occurred prior to him shooting the ball.
Howland needs to save that video to show how to beat pressure.
I'm not sure we can even make NIT. Will NIT take a team with a losing record because that is where we are headed.
When we do Tolu misses free throws so there's that......I think he was 1-6 tonight.......Quote:

All he had to do was be average down this stretch, and we're probably going dancing. Can't wait for this shit show to be over.
Why did BJ kill out momentum when we gained the lead by taking Carter out? Having him handle the ball and putting Mol at the 2 was working then he took him out until 1 min to go.
The way we play makes me wonder if we practice against air.Quote:

One particular player had a bunch of turnovers. When they guarded us for the full court our offense stalled. For no reason at all, we had a large portion of the game where it seemed like out players absolutely refused to score.
We lost.
Did I nail it?
I didn't watch it just like I haven't watched a single game all season but continue to read the game page. This seems just about accurate as all the rest....Quote:

I would start 4.1,20,5 and 35. We know they aren?t gonna get coached so just let ?em run.
Another thing that really angers me about Howland is the officials can make bad call after bad call and he not go off on the officiating. He will just stand there with his mouth open. Officials know this and don?t worry about making horrible calls because they know they don?t have to worry about a coach showing them up.
Furthermore the officials also know our AD will not say or do anything publicly to the SEC office (see MSU vs Memphis in football). Also we get bad calls against us because we are non-blue blood of basketball.
Cohen it?s time you earn your paycheck. Go hire a coach that has just a little blood flowing and a little fire in the belly. Hire coach that is current with the game. Hire a coach that can make a ?a strong ass offer? to recruits. Hire a coach that will promote the program to the fan base (see Bruce Pearl)
You just described Sean Miller and he would be the perfect hire. So we know Cohen will fail to even interview him.Quote:
