    Well I see the problem on the defensive end....had MSU switched to a zone..that would have stopped the dribble drives that basically decided the game.... That same unwillingness to use a zone is what cost Vic a regular season championship last year.....

    Agreed. It would have also protected Ado from getting his fourth foul. Howland’s reluctance to play a zone has cost him at least five games in his career at MSU.

    It has bothered me too at times, but we are getting better and better at man bc howland has stuck with it no matter what. I want us to play man exclusively this year even if it does cost us some games bc our window opens next season... we will be hell at man next season bc of howland?s persistence.

    I get it but we win the game yesterday, we win the game last year against Ole Miss at Starkville, we win at Alabama, we beat South Carolina in Starkville if we play a zone. Imagine our outlook right now if we had won those four games. It would be much different then it is now.
