Not with the abysmal attendance at home games.
Howland brought MSU out of the ashes post-RR. Sure, the team did not perform as expected, especially this season, but 'that's basketball' (for the baseball fans).
Having a sweet 16 roster (on paper) and not even making the tourny really hurts. Was hoping Ben would go out with a bang, but Tolu being MIA for most of the season, hard to get consistency. Really disappointed in the lack of three (3) pointers this season too. When the team woke up and played hard (defense), they showed what they were capable of doing. Taking UK to OT at Rupp is just another case of "would of/could of/should of" for MSU men's basketball.
