Stansbury Not Worried about NCAA

It's been a week without MSU athletics and I must admit that I've missed it. Looking forward to the game tonight with George Mason, the only question, outside of the team's ability to defend the three, is what's up with the NCAA being on campus?

Stansbury, in an interview with the Clarion Ledger, said there is no reason for concern.

"(The NCAA) has a right to check into any rumors they want," said Stansbury, whose Bulldogs (9-3) finish their nonconference schedule today when they host George Mason (7-3) at 7 p.m. "We've been here for 16 years and have never had a problem with anything."

The problems Stansbury has faced in his head coaching career are opponents lighting it up from three point range and an offense that has difficulty scoring against a zone. George Mason guard Lamar Butler holds his school record for career 3-pointers, so things could get interesting tonight. We're hoping the team has used the off week to work on their man-to-man defense. Perhaps Slater will turn in a Winsome Frazier like defensive effort on Butler. That would definitely make it a happy holiday.
