USI lost to St. Joseph's today. Wesleyan lost to the #1 seed. Wesleyan has a chance to win their game against Bellarmine.

It won't be easy, but the G-MAC had a competitive conference this season. Winning the conference tournament was tough. I'm not saying this scenario will happen, but KWC could win and USI could be put out tomorrow. There is quite a difference in St. Joseph's and Northwood.

I know Mens basketball somewhat, nothing about Men's baseball, and women's softball. I think it's great that both teams on the diamond won the conference and got into the NCAA tournament, but apparently the GMAC prepared the baseball and softball teams for the post season about as much as it did for the Men's basketball team

Uh, KWC defeated Bellarmine this morning 10-2. USI is facing elimination, down 2-4 against Wayne State in the 7th inning.

Losing 4-2 means getting smoked??

I think I made my point. Beating Belermine is very good.

They beat them by 8 runs. The St. Joseph's/Quincy game is dragging out. In a way that is good because Wesleyan will have the fresher team no matter who wins that game. The last I checked St. Joe was up two runs, but they are running out of pitchers. I want KWC to play Quincy tomorrow, because Sam Williams was suspended in that 3 point loss in the basketball Regional.

Re: 2016-2017 Kentucky Wesleyan basketball thread.

I will repeat this fact. USI and Bell got eliminated.

Re: 2016-2017 Kentucky Wesleyan basketball thread.

Quincy has tied the game 8-8 in the bottom of the sixth. Wesleyan plays the loser. St. Joseph's looks to be running out of steam. I do not want KWC to play St. Joseph's tomorrow.

Fate is a funny or sad thing. It will probably go one way or the other. The author of that NCAA.com article stated that the Midwest Region has the best story lines. Northwood could get over confident. KWC has done well already, but this Panther baseball team has something special, and they are a fairly young squad.

Quincy wins 9-8. Wesleyan will play St. Joseph's tomorrow in
an elimination game.

Re: 2016-2017 Kentucky Wesleyan basketball thread.

I wonder if KWC could play a much different style offensively than we have seen since Happy has been here. The recruiting class seems to contain several guards who have big time range and shoot many threes and at a high percentage. Since Happy has been at KWC we have been a team who drives to the rim almost exclusively. We have been in the bottom of the entire region for three point attempts per game. Is that just his system or was he doing that based on the players on the team?

I'll be interested to see how next year's team plays out in that regard. We traded twos for threes too often so being able to put a squad on the floor to keep pace on the perimeter could be an improvement. It'll be tough to replace Jacks and Bosley and I subjectively don't expect a better season without them considering the recruiting class. But, if we are a better perimeter team we could be dangerous if I want to be glass half full. Bell, Johnson, and Redix all have serious range which excites me as a fan. I still hope we have a big man waiting to sign too though. Our frontcourt is much too thin but I'm guessing the staff realizes that as well and we'll see a big man sign before all is said and done.

Smart post ...I think we may be year away from being really good.
