I bet Drake cares about the NCAA. I bet Bradley cares about it. I bet they are not hoping for "FCS basketball" Only whiny programs that can't make it don't care. Indiana State? They got boat raced by a sh#%tty team, at home, the week they got recognized with the P5 schools! They deserve what they get. Just like we deserved what we got in 2017 when we lost by 40 (40!!) and 20 points (on national tv) to WSU.
Indiana State is going to do a complete 180. Too bad for them.
Jokes aside I believe there is a good chance of us all being surprised (and disappointed) by at least one portal entry. I am saying that generically aka no idea who that may be. If pedon can keep the wanted players from portaling to one or less than we are off to a good start, imo. More than that then building a core team for next year is gonna take a lot of new portal players. Just how it is.
I could see Pedon sending hiim up to DePaul. I think that would be a good fit for both.
Seeing the games in person...DB goes out...our offense looks quite improved, our team looks improved, and we go on a run. Comes back last 2 games...we look like previous 60 games. Non-efficient.
Maybe the “system” has to be flexible to play to the strengths of the players that are on the roster. Especially this day and age with the portal and NIL one may have to adjust their coaching style, scheme and system to fit the players one can attract to come to a struggling mid major program. I know people will say “ recruit the type of players for your system”, but one also needs to get the best ball players that will come here. It is a different world. Probably more comparable to junior high where your next year’s player pool is what is in sixth and seventh grade. No use complaining about the rules, they are what they are, and yes the big boys are going to take most of the good ones.
Burford can't play in the Big East! Lol! Well, maybe on an 0-20 team off the bench. Holtmann better be looking for WAY better than Burford! Burford isn't good enough to get us where we need to go! We have MAYBE 1 P6 starter on the current roster and that would be on a bottom of the conference team.
Systems are incredibly important but I say, it’s more on the player to learn and adjust to a system that benefits the whole team. It’s difficult to prove any point regarding this. Compatibility isn’t as easy to find as we think.
I think if players make 3s in January and First 2 weeks of Feb it would have been a big difference. Pedon started running iso plays for Burford and Foster because most of the team was in a funk. They were passing up open shots and missing wide open ones when they did soot it. That's not Burford's issue. However, I will also acknowledge that his 3 point shot was off the entire year and a % much lower in prior years and he does need to drive and kick the ball out more often.
Who was out when ISU beat them? Kent got hurt in the middle of game. Was someone else out? I doubt missing Kent made them shoot 8-38 from 3 against a below .500 team. The question is. Will Indy St. lose a bid and their coach on the same day?
Yeah, who would be interested in the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the year.
I'm sure someone is. He should say who it is and we can see who these robbers are that are hurting Roger's feelings.
