Tonight's announcers really summed up our basketball program

[Coach34]

In the last 13 basketball seasons- we have made the NCAA Tourney TWICE. 2 times- in the 13 years.

This program has more problems than just hiring Rick Ray- 2 times in 13 years.

[MaroonFlounder]

I hope Cohen is already secretly looking for HC replacements.

Oh no.. we were a powerhouse before RR got here.. ***
The majority of our fans basketball IQ is what’s embarrassing..

[tcdog70]

We were the third winning-est team in the SEC under Stans. Don't know what your definition of powerhouse is.

2 NCAA Tourneys in the last 13 years. That means we were one of the best 68 teams in the country only twice in the 13 years. That shows our fans clearly think we were better than we actually were

I hope Cohen is already secretly looking for HC replacements.

Why?

Not completely true. The best 68 teams don?t make the tourney.

Stansbury led his team to postseason tournament play 11 times in 14 seasons (six NCAA and five NIT tournaments), with five consecutive post-season tournament appearances, the first MSU basketball coach in history to accomplish this feat.

Well go watch him coach Western ky..

Hahaha I love how you've come out tonight and repeated this statement about 5 times already. Its like a preemptive strike before people can say "And how are we improving as a program again." Let me help you with those stats, we're actually 0 for the last 6 years in tourney appearances since the coaching change(s). The previous 7 we made it 2 times, under Stans. Now I'm sure if Howland turns around and makes it 2-3 times every 7 years you'll turn around and say that's about as good as we can expect.

[Coach007]

Well go watch him coach Western ky..

Well... how about not calling fans low IQ'd when clearly.... they are not the ones with it.

[civildawg]

Wait, weren?t you the person that led the charge against Stan?s? The guy that made the tournament most years? And now you are saying we shouldn?t expect to be a tournament team? GFY

[Ari Gold]

Well... how about not calling fans low IQ'd when clearly.... they are not the ones with it.

If you don’t think you are one of those then don’t worry about it..

Howland will bring us back, but that does not excuse the hate and the desire for some people to try and control the programs.

[Goldendawg]

We won the Western Division a lot.

[Liverpooldawg]

I agree. We haven’t made it all under our last TWO coaches. Let that sink in.

[Ari Gold]

We won the Western Division a lot.

And most of the time with a 9-7 / 10-6 record
There is a reason Stands was the ONLY coach that didn’t vote for the current SEC alignment ...

[Liverpooldawg]

2 NCAA Tourneys in the last 13 years. That means we were one of the best 68 teams in the country only twice in the 13 years. That shows our fans clearly think we were better than we actually were

Yep, and neither of those two was under the last two coaches

[Coach007]

If you don’t think you are one of those then don’t worry about it..

The problem is the consistent need for those of you that got your wet dream to continue to blame Stans. It's like you are trying to convince yourself by putting down people who are no longer living in the past. That's called purging your own demons.

We wouldn’t have won the old western division since he left had it remained.
