Mercifully, our season is over.

a pretty good job of keeping everything together. It sucks right now but after the emotion wears off we'll be able to be appreciate what we were able to accomplish.
End with a 9-7 record and have to share the title in the weak SEC West, get only one decent win outside the conference (ODU), lose the tourney title in heartbreaking fashion, have to settle for the NIT and lose AT HOME to the weakest North Carolina team in recent memory. To me this is probably the most disappointing MSU season for any of our athletic teams in a LONG time given what we COULD have accomplished versus what we ended up doing.l
...a preseason top 20 team fizzles out in the second round of the NIT, and you are "Proud of what we were able to accomplish."
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
injuries or not, Sidney or not. This season was a HUGE disappointment period. Just glad the misery is finally over. This game was an example of why we weren't in NCAAT. I know team on bubble don't get up for NIT a lot of times, but if you can't get up for UNC (bad or not) coming to town then somethings wrong. and we damn sure didn't look up to me. Our D was terrible, our same stand around O and then jack up a 3 was present. We made no real effort to stop them from getting easy dunks and lay ins. Hell UNC shoots under 40% on the year and they shot 50% at our place.
but we got out of position way too much on defense and gave up so many easy put backs, slams and underneath baskets I lost count. Basically our team is just the epitome of inconsistency and I don't believe even at the NIT level of games we could have played consistently enough to win 5 games in a row against good competition. We did have a huge advantage getting home games though so I'm disappointed we didn't go further than this. Probably just shows the weakness of SEC basketball compared to the ACC.
is a season to forget as quickly as possible. It was a hugely disappointing year. This team and coaching staff underachieved BIG TIME this year. All those returning starters, and this is all we've got to show for it?<div>
</div><div>There just didn't seem to be much if any basketball I.Q. on the court or on the sidelines this year. This has grown mighty stale. If Greg Byrne sticks around to remain our AD for another year, I hope he puts serious pressure on Stansbury to bring in some fresh blood on the assistant coaching staff. We need to shake things up a bit.</div>

If you consider a sheep someone who thinks Stansbury can do no wrong and thinks this season was just great then NO.
I will be disappointed if we return the entire coaching staff next year. Grant, Kirby, or Cunningham needs to go and Rick can go with them if he does not go along with it.
