    HOWLAND - please listen

    You have a long athletic team, and you have 10 or so players.

    They can not shoot.

    PRESS, PLAY D and RUN.

    Quit running half court offense, and tell them to run and go to the rim. Think 40 minutes of hell.

    Don't let this year turn into last year 2.0.

    Howland is still stuck in 1980s Big East style of play.

    This team under no circumstances should ever score less than 60 points. Ever.

    Howland is about to waste the best collection of talent we've had in over a decade.

    Howland sucks. Our hoops program, much like our football program, has a coach that is stuck in the past, and that is why neither will ever win big here. The game has changed.

    If our plan is to turn Brooks into our primary 4 then I'm very concerned.

    That’s been the plan all along and the reason he transferred. We were always going to play him at 4 and Tolu at the 5

    It appears that way. I think that is how we get these players. Howland promises to make Jeffries a guard and Brooks a 4. Why do big men want to play like small players? That seems to be the trend with top players coming here.

    Because that is apparently where their best potential is at the next level. If Howland hadn't made those promises, neither would have transferred here.

    We have the worst fans in college basketball. Sure it was a bad loss, but everyone has bad losses in college basketball. Period.

    #10 ranked Alabama lost at home last night to Iona.

    It's not the loss. Like everything else MSU, it's how we looked doing it. We have too much talent to be a boring assed team that can't break 60. It is what it is.

    It's also not just this loss. It's that we do this sh*t every year. This is a consistent pattern under Howland. This team will probably start playing up to their potential at the end of the season, but by then we'll have ruined our chances for the tournament, or at least a good enough seed to have a good run in the tournament. The early season matters in basketball too, and we're never prepared.

    I had a great thanksgiving up until around 730 pm. I'm gonna say last night's was just the universe making me pay for a baseball natty and a braves' WS. Hopefully the total kick in the nuts (egg bowl butt kicking, saints getting destroyed, and basketball reincarnating Rick ray) was enough of a sacrifice, and MBK bounces back today

    I tried telling some of you guys that Howland would effing blow it. He's a bad coach. He just is. Stansbury part deaux. Good recruiter, poor coach.

    The reason criticism is warranted is the same reason you worried about lashley blocking 7 earlier in the week. History repeats itself when their are no changes. Anybody that expects (vs hoping) this team to be special is disregarding how bad howeland has coached at times.
