The record says zero and zero, but Ben Howland has a long history. After having immense amounts of success at Northern Arizona and Pittsburgh, Howland took over the single most storied program in college basketball history, and won 30 or more games three seasons in a row before he lost the magic and got sacked after 10 years. Howland has proven that he can coach, ultimately he proved that the pressure of the job at UCLA might have been too great. Starkville is a much different place than Los Angeles, perhaps a more peaceful setting is just what Howland needs to right his ship.
Ben Howland has brought excitement and Malik Newman to Starkville. Is that enough?
