I was cautiously optimistic about Jans when we hired, but knew he would have a ways to go. I was drawn in to the start of the season with the wins and hustle, got me all wooly. We slipped up early in conference play due to tougher competition and the inability to make a FT, which was very frustrating. But these last three games we’ve stepped up and delivered when we had to. We haven’t done that in a decade. I always felt like with Howland when he would get a big w and the fans were ready to buy in, we’d fall flat on our face the next game. Rinse and repeat. We very well may have a slip up like that this season, but I’m excited about MSU basketball for the first time in a while
