I have nothing against Ben Howland but when he expressed interest in the Missouri job he didn't know about the NCAA investigation and he ended up at Mississippi State.

Question - when did Mississippi State basketball become the same level as Missouri basketball?

Hint - during Norm's 32 years at Missouri, Mississippi state made the NCAA tournament 3 times and had only 4 seasons of 20 wins. Norm had 17 seasons of 20 wins. Under the leadership of Snyder, Suitcase and Haith the program fell that far.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
