Arky better talent, we have a better coach!
Jans is a coach

He’s a hell of a coach. Our responsibility to pay for talent so he can win big.
This Arkansas team has 3 legit NBA players on it.
He damn near sure knows how to coach team defense. I really like making a name for ourselves with the way we play defense because sooner or later in future years, we'll start finding some people who will light up the scoreboard for us.
Jans,...I think it was our third game before I saw a game, (this year),
And I was very impressed with our D, The rest has seemingly come along.

I was sold in 2019 when NMSU throttled lazy *** howland’s 4 and 5 stars.
We are getting more confident by the game. Learning to make some shots and look a like a tough team that's enjoying playing a little ball. It's enjoyable to watch...finally.
If he knocks off UK in the Hump and breaks our long dry spell against them, you have to think thats the perfect time to shitcan him. It would just be getting too hot in the kitchen from that point forward.
Classic MSU - the team shot 3 for 16 from deep that night.
For those that may not follow the recruiting money train as closely as others, Musselman had the #2 class in the country this year. Three 5* and three 4* with the worst signee in the class being more highly rated than anyone we’ve landed since 2018(Perry). To outplay that team on the road really is a hell of a coaching job
Did forget about that. Seems like its been awhile in the regular season though.
We need a regular season win in the modern era. It's been far too long. I feel like if we win this we're dancing as long as we beat USCe.
What do you more knowledgeable hoops folks think are the main reasons for our great D Jans incorporated since his arrival? I'm sure coaching has a lot to do with but are there other things involved like athleticism, speed, quick feet, length and smart coachable players? Proud of this team. The win is great for our resume but what's also just as great was the effort and skills needed to get that win that few predicted which bodes well from here on out. Good seeing Jans get a little revenge for his final game at NMSU.
Two things: Physicality and the ability to defend the 3. We are 4th in the SEC and 44th in the nation in 3 point fg% against. Only Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn are better in the SEC. In regard to physicality, go listen to opposing coaches in their press conference before and after our games. That word keeps coming up across the board. Musselman mentioned it earlier in the week about the matchup with us. Pearl, Oates and others have mentioned it when describing us.
When we can defend the 3 and be physical down low, good things are going to happen. With that said, it only takes the right referee crew to 17 that up and put us in a spot,
2009 is the last time we beat UK in the regular season. Last time we beat them in Starkville was 2008.
And I was there with my son, we sat in the stands afterwards just taking it all in...then afterwards, my son rang his cowbell (left in car) while leaving the Rupp parking lot. There was an snow storm prior, so traffic was slower than usual making the ringing even more choice.
