Following Michigan State's lopsided loss to Rutgers to end its 2024 campaign, head coach Jonathan Smith examined the defeat, reflected on the season and discussed the future.
"I'm still confident that we can get this thing in a way better place," Smith said. "It's gonna take some work, though, and we're in the midst of it right now. And these things are disappointing (how the season ended), and we had some, definitely, ups and downs this year, and we've gotta keep on plugging away and going to work.
"I've got a belief in our approach, our process, and how we're doing it. And (I) wanna feel like the guys that have more time here, we can get it going. But we've gotta ... play better, we've gotta get better. And so that starts with me, the approach. Coaches, we're gonna digest this whole season and find ways where we can play better because we need to. And this place, you can do it here (at MSU). We've just got to keep on working to get it done."
