After a 90-66 road loss to Florida State on Wednesday, things are looking grim for the 2015-16 Mississippi State basketball team. The Bulldogs are now 4-5 midway through the non-conference slate, and the schedule isn't going to get any easier. I've seen some fans start to question the hire of Ben Howland since there is no immediate success with this basketball team. I have one message for those fans.
Stop.
Success doesn't happen overnight. A basketball program that went 37-60 and never finished higher than 11th in the SEC over the last three years doesn't become an NCAA Tournament team in one year.
