Being a senior laden team means nothing if they don't get better. We'll have Copeland, Chastain, Romine, and the two 6'9 freshman though. But, that means nothing if you can't finish inside, draw too many fouls, and have players who get stripped every time they get inside. Next season should be better but I don't envision a repeat of 16-17. Probably closer to this season than last season. Yaklich was the worst loss.

Copeland is a BIG, BIG part of next years squad.

Yeah, just like EC was a big part of this season. I'll believe when I see it. Until then it's all hopeful talk.

Step away from the keyboard for 24 hours and reevaluate.

EC is a true freshman.

If I was smart I would have drank during the game when the refs only called 5 fouls on Loyola and the birds missed 18 layups.

Getting used to the drive home after another poor showing in the championship. I've started think about what next season might look like. I'm guessing we have 3 transfers. I'm not feeling great about Milik staying anymore. I'd be shocked if Romine was back. The other...a bit of a surprise, a la DJ Clayton.

I still think the team will be good. Just not as dominant as they could be.

MY isn’t going anywhere. Not sure who would take a turn over machine. He needs to improve his handles.

Many true Freshman doing just fine in this conference. We saw two of them today. EC couldn't even go on the floor!

Plenty of teams would love a guy who puts up 16+ppg, 6+rebounds per game, and 4+assists per game,

Then you should get away from watching athletics of any sort. For real.

Is he on track to graduate this year? That's the only way he transfers without sitting again.

My Bold take is that Porter leaves to go to a big school and Custer goes with him. Even bolder take, birds will be dancing next year

I started losing interest in the 2nd half, so I filled my pill bottle for the week. :) The sad thing was it was more interesting than the 2nd half.

First part is more likely than the second.
