One thing that drives me nuts with this team.

We just keep passing up open looks in order to make another pointless pass, that eventually gets intercepted or results in a turnover. Take the 17in shot! I'd rather see us shoot up the likely brick than to see a 17in pathetic turnover.

Agreed, they are clueless on what to do on offense. The walking the ball up the court is a close second on the frustration level for me too.

First time I've gotten to see us play this year. I've never seen anything like it. I'll just leave it at that.

Offense is definitely a problem. They looked clueless in the second half against the zone. I don't think they really understand the concept of quick ball-reversal and penetration.

That 20-2 run or whatever it was was pathetic. 10 mins.+ with one FG is not going to win many games.

Do you sleep with your Stansbury bobblehead?


Until something better comes along. Rick Ray ain't it. Sidney would walk up the court and put twenty on this team. That Cancer Dee Bost would embarrass the point guards Ray has dug up. I am sick to see MSU basketball look like **** warmed over.

Could we find a Wimp bobble head? We could bring him out of retirement and rule this weakass SEC.

Yeah, I miss the good old days too. You know, losing the season opener to Rider by 10. Or losing 5 out of 6 to the easiest part of his conference schedule to miss the NCAA tournament with the most talented team of his head coaching career, capping the season a first round NIT exit. Man, those were the days.**

Jokes don't make that statement any less true. The 05-06 team would destroy this team.

The 05-06 team wasn't Stans' worst team though.

This team is pretty comparable to the 1999-2000 squad IMO

Only one game difference in record.

Pretty wide gap in RPI if memory serves correctly. Think the 99-00 team was in the closer to 150, while the 05-06 team hovered around 100 I believe. Been awhile since I looked at it though...

Not really sure where I see this team ending up at this point -- and hate to try to prognosticate anything off these 2 shitburgers that are fresh on my mind...

It's obvious we don't have the pieces we'd like to have yet. Not an excuse, just a fact.

My problem is how we play defensively. I don't care how undermanned we are, 80% of A&M's shots were uncontested. If you're going to get whipped, at least make them work for it. I saw very little energy from our team, and there's absolutely no reason for that in a must-win game like that.

Think they call that offense the Stanbury Stall **

Thought that Ray was the X & Os coach that was gonna fix our offense

Uncontested layup's at that.

Come on, this is the weakest schedule in the History of MSU basketball. The SEC this year is the weakest it has ever been. Any team since Joe Dan Gold would beat the snot out of this-No shooting, No defending, can't make a free throw, can't block out and what the 17 is a rebound-team.

Don't worry, Ray's got a #71 ranked class on the way next year to get them out of this mess.

I thought that once we had more bodies that we would be a trapping, disruptive defensive team that would force turnovers and get easy transition baskets to compensate for our poor outside shooting. Instead, what I have seen these last 3-4 games is the same ole Stansbury **** with worse players.
