Is it fair to have some questions about the direction of men's basketball at this point?

Zero questions I have right now. If we struggle next year - then I'm concerned. Jans has said with NIL - it's no longer a 4 year build a roster program. It's an every year occurrence.

And it's really hard to recruit towards your "culture" when kids are only there a year or 2.

The fact they're not performing as expected points to Jans either not evaluating them properly or not coaching them properly. It is definitely on him how his players perform, good or bad.

Correct, they are HIS players. Whoever we get out of the portal will be hyped out the roof but you never know how they’ll assimilate.

So how did that home loss to mighty Southern U taste?

Even worse! So much so that I've apparently blocked it from my mind...

 

[Baddog11]

Correct, they are HIS players.

Huh? 4 of the 5 starters were in Starkville on the couch watching Jans make a run in the ncaa tourney with NMSU.

Let's give it until the end of season. The tourney is still very much in play.

Which one?*********

It's fair to question their mental toughness. Almost every metric is improved with this team from last year. They just are puzzies on the road. Turnovers are the one bad stat that seems to carry over.

We can’t afford to be good in men’s basketball and football because we have too many fans like me who refuse to give their hard earned money to 18-21 year old kids to play sports. I guess I’m over educated because I over think spending money and come to the conclusion that my money can be better spent on other things rather than sports wins that I have to share with a bunch of disgruntled a$$holes! *****

Couldn't have said it better myself
