Future is Bright

Tough loss, but the future is bright. Jans took the worst shooting team in the nation and made it to the tournament. Can’t wait to see what he does next year.

Need shooters. Got Hubbard. Need more

Abandon all hope.

I’m excited about Jans. Hopefully he can continue to lane talent like Howland.

Agreed. If somehow Tulu comes back WITH Hubbard, watch out. That guy can shoot, drive, and dish. Makes DD look like a juco.

Need a PG too and a L Roberts type player out of the portal.
In basketball you don’t need 5 4 or 5*’s but you better have 2 and some athletic role players to have some chance.

Our guys were limited in some ways but they left it all on the floor for 34 games. This team will always hold a special place in my heart

Future looks bright. I am through being ticked. Helps me with my bracket.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

I totally trust Jans. Let’s upgrade our talent level and make the tournament a regular thing. Get Tolu back and add some shooters and I think we’ll be a lot higher than an 11 seed next year.

Correct...just adding Hubbard is not enough. Need 4-5 reliable shooters.

Yes, cannot buy this sort of publicity. Wiped out in the play in game will get us far with many many recruits.

You’re right. If a program and don’t make the Sweet 16, you should just close up shop. What’s the point? You don’t build. You go from dumpster fire to final four immediately.

Please take a long walk off a short pier.

Couldn’t agree more

The bottom line is that there are clear reasons that this team didn’t have high expectations, and when your entire offense revolves around a single post player that can’t shoot FTs, it’s honestly a miracle that this group accomplished what it did.

The thing that’s keeping me very optimistic is that the team’s success this year was about 95% energy/effort and 5% talent, so if Jans can upgrade the talent level while continuing to coach the rest, there should be good things ahead. Like others have said, Hubbard’s a great get, but if we can snag even a couple scorers in the portal, we could really see this team start to take off next season

Don't know much about basketball but I know about effort, and this team played with tremendous effort. Perfect example was Stevenson (I believe) sprinting the length of the court to intercept the ball, that was nothing but a hustle / effort play. Our future is bright.
