The Jans Experience is Over

[msstate7]

We were down 13 points with 5 minutes to go against UNO in basketball. We were 20+ point favorites. We won on an OT buzzer beater that was a horrible offensive sequence resulting in a low quality shot that banked in.

Do not try to "well actually we won" that game. Those of us who watched know how god awful we played.

We went 15-29 from FT. Josh Hubbard went 5-12. Somehow in year 4 our guys are regressing at the FT line after Jan's has already shown that he doesn't fix a single guy at the line's shot. Someone also wanted the FBI to look into the point shaving. The O/U closed at 160.5. It was 81-78 (159 total) w/ .2 left and the refs decided to take the opportunity to expose Hubbard's point shaving even more. He bricked two more FTs.

Last night was embarassingly bad. The past week is a sign that State will be lucky to win a conference game. This is the worst looking team we've had since Rick Ray years. Might be worse - who knows where true rock bottom is.

These are not games you play close and just find a way to win. These are games you win by 20 and get guys some work. State right now needs a serious change of style and cohesion otherwise this will quickly become a lost year.

For the record, my fbi comment was a joke. My expectations for this season have bottomed out, and I don't see myself getting too worked up over MBK.

I'll also add in previous seasons, we've had some close calls to bad teams, and we even lost to a swac school. With this team though, well, let's just say I don't feel good about them. Perhaps Josh, Epps, and Ali have another gear
