Curbelo dismissed from Southern Miss. Would have loved to know the behind the scene details on what went wrong with such a talented player. In the end, I guess he was just too much of a head case. Maybe we will get the documentary one day.
The IWU women beat Augustana yesterday in Rock Island, to finish their regular season at 224-1 and 15-1 in conference. They will get to host the CCIW tourney on Friday and Saturday. Their semifinal game is at 7:30 Friday, but Saturday's title game is still TBD. They are ranked #4 in D3 hoops and #5 in the coaches' poll. I plan to attend Saturday's title game. The Friday game I hope to watch on live streaming.The Illinois Wesleyan women clobbered North Central last nite (at NC) 79-55. In doing so, they clinched the CCIW title outright. This means they will get to host the conference tournament. Team is currently ranked #4. A super season for the lady Titans! If they win the conference tournament (or maybe even if they don't), they will most likely host a first round NCAA 4 team pod.
We are easy to scout on both offense and defense. Entirely too predictableThey really stunted MS with their moving from man to 1-3-1. Yes, I do think we should be able to at least show a passable zone defense. If Dusty can put it in during his first season and switch back and forth, we can too. We are entirely too predictable and easy to scout. The whole "we only play man" is a relic, and it isn't working. If we have an amazing man defense and want to stay with that, o.k. Again, other teams show multiple looks all the time all the time. I'll take Michigan's results any day.
St Johns up 20 vs UConn
There’s a new sheriff in the Big East….St John's beats UConn 89-75
Turns out Dan Squirrelly isn’t nearly as good without a generational big man who was a major part of him winning 2 titles. Who would’ve thought? Glad to see him brought back down to earth.St John's beats UConn 89-75
But unfortunately 7‘4“ Daniel Jacobsen likely to go 9 of 10 from three against usWe're projected to beat Purdue by 40 based on this game.
Well, I at least have one fun game to watch on replay this weekend.St John's beats UConn 89-75
That Matt Painter guy is horrible!IU opened the 2nd half with a 28-3 run. Purdue couldn't make shots and kept giving the ball away. Sound like someone we know?
Better fire him quick and get Beard before he’s gone.That Matt Painter guy is horrible!
Yep, they lost 4 in a row AND lost to a 16 seed two(??) years ago? Where's the replacement coaches list?That Matt Painter guy is horrible!
