I am a college basketball fan. I do not understand this thread at all. I for one feel that we are lucky to be watching these future NBA players in college for a least a year. The overall graduation rate for NCAA basketball is 53%. The overall Graduation rate for incoming college freshman in...

I agree with this. This is also why I am a little more optimistic for the season than I was yesterday morning. The three positives you listed are the very three things I was concerned about going into yesterday. The three neagatives will work themselves out. Too much talent there. I don't...

What a great game. We are deeper than I originally thought. Gesell cole basabe is a good team. For clemmons white and may to take it to them bodes well for us

I go with zac. Always seems to be on fire first five minutes of the game

I do not see SOS as a big deal for us. Last year Harvard, Missou, VA commonwealth, South Dakota State all had poor strength of Schedules and finish in RPI top 50. They took care of business. Wins and Losses are more important. We need to take care of business in nonconference this year. In...

I don't know about those minutes per game. Fran has publicly said he has the depth and horses to run like he wants to now. I see fewer minutes per player than he has had to run the first couple years. More uptempo with more substitutions. If Clemmons and Ingram can be pests on the defensive...

65 percent 1) Two incoming freshman upgrade at two positions. This years team is deep enough Fran does not have to depend on the our freshman to lead the team. 2) Woodbury will not be a great shot blocker. What he will do for us is take up space. He is a immediate upgrade over Brommer. Not...

Yes i was overly optimistic last year too.

We were a NIT team last year with Marble running the point most of the year. Gesell and Woody will be the heart and soul of this team in a couple years. I just do not think they have to be at the start of the season for this team to be successful. We knew nothing about White. People were way...

I do not think they are going to struggle that much. This team is more experienced than we were going into last season. We competed with, and beat some good basketball teams. Marble took some time to transition into a decent point guard. We will have the benefit of a young talented point...

Thank you sir. I forgot to add Mel will be back in a big way this year with Adams interior passing ability. I think Mel really missed Jared last year. Adam will free him up dramatically. And I think I disagree with Adam not getting doubled in the block this year. If he gets the ball low...

I just watched the highlight video on YOUTUBE. I know it was just highlights but I do not remember a kid of his size that is that coordinated as a freshman. Everyone is talking about his interior passing ability. I think that is one of the hardest things to teach. He will learn how to play...

With Wisconsin jumping on him with the first offer do we have to offer next week when he visits IC? In my opinion Bo made the offer early to put pressure on Fran. A Happ offer will make things interesting between Wisconsin and us for Seth also. I see Ethan and Seth as similar players too.

Zach gets more minutes than Woody this year. If he can stay out of foul trouble. I know that is a BIG if.

Strength of Schedule??????????? I am having two serious issues with RPI right now. Strength of schedule being one of them. In doing some calculations, our cupcakes with RPI's well over 300 seemed to have killed any post season hopes at this point. Upon doing some calculations, if those...
