You still can’t see the facts - Ben Howland walked into a cycle of above average players ( see list below) that allowed him to win 52 percent of his SEC games.

Reggie Perry - son of a MSU great
Robert Woodard - son of a MSU great
Malik Newman - son of a MSU great
Nick Weatherspoon - brother of a MSU great

That cycle of long standing family ties is long gone. That is why you will continue to see Howland’s SEC record fall off the cliff. By the way, Stansbury didn’t have a chance to coach the sons of MSU greats.
