I agree we don’t need to make any assumptions about what he does or doesn’t do in his free time. Frankly, I don’t even care how hard he works. What I care about more than anything is that we play a bad style of basketball that isn’t conducive to winning. Last year we had TJ, JHS, and a couple more guys playing pro ball. We only mustered a 23-12 weekend, and an embarrassing first weekend exit. The season highlights were regular season wins - beating Purdue and Illinois is great and was a big part of getting a 4 seed, but the reality is that team was pretty similar in terms of what it accomplished to what this years MSU team is. Now we don’t have those guys, and we are having one of the worst season we’ve had as a program in most of this boards lifetime. We can argue all day about how much or little talent we have, how imbalanced the roster is, but I think we all agree this is far from the least talented team or worst balanced roster we’ve had the past 50 years. We just play a style that isn’t a winning brand of basketball. It’s why even the best teams under Woodson get blown out at an alarming rate against good programs. Thats what needs to change more than anything, and that’s what so far he hasn’t shown a willingness to change. He doesn’t even address it or own any blame when asked about issues, other than not getting players over the hump. We don’t need to wait until April to change things, we can do it now. It may not matter for this year at this point, which is a sad statement after one game in February, but it certainly matters for the future of the program if Woodson is going to remain coach.

Eh kinda. The numbers are what they are, but we also only mustered one shot in the first three minutes of the second half. That set the tone and was game over.

Agree on Marshall not getting another shot, the rest of that list is worth exploring.

The loss to PSU drops us to 99 on KenPom from 88. We are now predicted to lose all of our remaining games, but with the averages are projected to finish 16-15. Our two best shots at a win per KenPom are Northwestern and Nebraska, both at home.

I would love to hear what he thinks has gone wrong in terms of his performance. He never really addresses what he could do better aside from “not getting them over the hump”.

Woodson played for a coach who was known for letting the team dictate the culture instead of the coach dictating it

ill add that we got one shot in the first three minutes of the second half, which is were we lost the game. How can our coach honestly say this?

Does he know that it may help if he showed some fire?

I know it’s been a while, but don’t remember the first half of the Purdue game two weeks ago?

This and the Purdue game will do that. Can’t imagine whatever happens to us next weekend is going to quiet anyone that’s upset.

If he actually loved the program he’d step away on his own after the year.

Down 18 with 2 minutes to go.

Thoughts and prayers to the mods

This is not great. Getting run out of Assembly by a bad Penn State team.

It is more than just a roster issue.

Two of the best games we’ve played all year only had one of Malik and Ware healthy. This style of play just doesn’t work and our coaches are killing us with their lack of adjustments. The players on this team deserve better than what they’re getting from the staff.

At least we are getting a very friendly whistle

Not a good start to the half at all. About as bad as possible.

We have managed one shot in the first three minutes of the half. Wow.

We are letting them hang in there. Another inconsistent effort so far.

They called the same thing on Penn State earlier
