First: yes, tough year. But it is not over. It will either get better, or worse in the next week. (O$U tonight will be tough)
Second: Absolutely NOT the same roster as last year. Chris Allen was dismissed before the season, and Korie Lucious was dismissed midway through the season.
Nix is a headcase. Something has happened and he cannot get his head screwed on right. Missed the trip to maui (stupid) because he didnt feel right about his spot on the team. . . wtf-ever. . Other bigs are not stepping up. Roe is hurt. Appling is a freshman, tough, tough year.
Im guessing State makes the tourney, and gets in a couple wins or so before bowing out gracefully. Which is a down year for the Spartans.
The bad news: this season sucks.
The good news: we are not meatchicken, which means this is temporary!!!
GO STATE.
