Obviously uninfomed.

Don't doubt they have talent coming up, but think they are at least a year away from being serious contenders.

I'm not sure why we're dignifying this nobody by putting his clueless take on the bulletin board. Talk to me when someone who at least follows Valley basketball says we suck.

 

[topiarydan]

Yes - losing graduating Seniors Bennett Koch, Klint Carlson, Ted Friedman and Hunter Rhodes along with losing another two key players Juwan McCloud and Tanner Lohaus to transfers surely won't affect the Panthers. I'll admit their incoming Frosh AJ Green is going to be a force along with a nice JUCO guard but no way are they a lock for an NCAA bid.

I watched UNI in St. Louis. Never thought they would be that good next year??? I fear Southern more than them...maybe even Bradley.....

 

[RBFANTOO]

Yeah, he’s got 96 followers, lives in Iowa, and his claim to sports fame is having met Jeter.

The only people less qualified than this guy to give sports hot takes would be the posters on the Bradley message board.

Legit made me LoL. Thanks for that.

Per usual, we look good on paper. Recent history suggests that when we play on hardwood instead of paper, we lose on Sunday. There’s always surprises, upside and downside, relative to preseason prognostications. Time will tell. But I’m pretty optimistic at this point. Love what Dan has done to reshape the roster.

This x 10000.

I've learned to guard my optimism because how many times have we seen it all come down to Sunday only to watch it collapse? Too many. That's happened a lot in the regular season too over the years when we suffer a damaging loss.

Preseason predictions? Way too hard to make. (See: MSU)

As for UNI, any Jacobsen-coached team will always be competitive and capable of beating anyone. As they ramp up their roster they will be a player in the Valley very soon, of course. But as it stands right now I like us a lot better. My way too early guess is we'll have another Battle For Illinois + UNI and there's your top 5 next season.

I’m not worried about N Iowa. I am worried about who is going to slow down Custer, Townes and Krutwig. We won’t beat them jacking 3s. We can beat them by attacking them. But which guys on our team are capable of, and more importantly, committed to, doing that? I don’t think that’s obvious yet.

I don't think it's the players fault...except Evans who shoots with 28 seconds left of the shotclock. I think they are told to jack up 3s. That's dan's style of play. But, maybe that's just because we only had Phil inside last season so his game plan changed.

That plays right into Loyola's hands in my opinion. They'll let ISU take contested 3s all game. Muller needs to change his team's game to attack the rim against Loyola. By doing so they will force Loyola to foul more when defending; they will increase FG%; and dribble penetration will create many, many more open looks behind the arc than just running a motion offense or a 5 out where 4 guys are standing still on the perimeter.

If we have Evans, Copeland, Clarance, Jefferson and Yarbrough that should be enough horsepower to pressure Loyola for 40 mins. If those five guys are just jacking 3s or trying to play 1on1 all game, then it's going to get real old real fast watching Porter Moser outmaneuver Dan Muller.

good stuff

 

[Adunk33]

I think we see good battles between Rey and Krutwig. I don't think Krutwig will just be able to push his way under the basket against us this year. If we can play good enough D to make Krutwig play 5+ feet from the basket, he'll be a non factor. His defense is not good, either. Our team should be able to run circles around him.

The Valley is ours to lose next season. Not saying we'll run away with it, but we should win it by a few games. Need to go undefeated at home and with the road games we should (Valpo, Drake, Evansville, MO State). Hopefully we start conference play at Indiana State on this side of the new year so we don't have to see Cooper Neese (Xavier transfer) and Christian Williams (Iowa transfer) in Terre Haute.

Way too early conference record: 14-4 *

C'mon RSF. Facts are a terrible way to win an argument.

You’re right. If we get rid of Yarbrough’s 20 turnovers in those 3 games we probably have a chance.

Those guys don’t care how much they score either. That’s why Loyola was good. Any of their top 6 could get you.

Townes and Krutwig were different players at year’s end too. They will carry more of the load next year.

I’m definitely glad Ingram is gone.

Yet . . . we lost 3 games to them. Why? They had more than three guys scoring.
