Kentucky Wesleyan Basketball

Now I hope for 17-12....but our road record does not lend itself to optimism

That's a long trip from Wesleyan to Lake Erie.

Of course any trip in the GMAC is pretty long with Wesleyan.

Coop has preached about turnovers all year and they just had 15 in the first half. I get LE traps full court but 80% of those turnovers weren't forced. PATHETIC display.

Long bus ride home is what that was. For both the men and the women. The women were actually up 31 - 16 at the half, but somehow managed to lose by 11.

I love KWC basketball.....I've been going to games for 45 years....my family has had the same season tickets in Section KK (now 101) since the early 60's.

Some of my most cherished sports memories are being in a full SportsCenter chanting KWC while watching Rod Drake, Dwight Higgs, John Worth, Corey Crowder etc.

I've kept those season tickets now that they are my responsibility even though I don't live in Owensboro. But a lot of the reason is the nostalgia of being 10 and sitting in those exact seats with my Dad or sitting in them with my brother when we were a little older.

If they end up moving most of the games on campus (which probably makes sense, since they only draw about 500 now), I won't be going to too many more games.

I'll still keep up on their scores and want them to do well.....but one of the last vestiges of my youth will be gone. I'm kinda sad about it

I am not sure how they could. The gym on campus certainly isn't acceptable for D2 basketball games, even if they did play some there this year.

[Lawson]

I hope thats true...but I renewed my season tickets this year thinking I'd get all the games.....but then the schedule came out and it had three games on campus. I have a feeling that will be the norm going forward.

Now, I still got to go to those games for free if I wanted, but obviously the seats and atmosphere were not the same

[Lawson]

I wonder when we will hear anything about next year

[Lawson]

I hope the guy is great...but got a letter from Coach Cooper in my email and he was gushing about this new recruit.

His averages last year at UND....Averaged 1.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.1 blocks per game across 20 appearances off the bench.

I hope he rules

Schools are awful at getting their bball schedules up for the coming year, but some schools have. Union's women's schedule indicates they will be playing a at tipoff classic at Kentucky Wesleyan in early November. Tipoff classics typically are the week before the regular season starts. No idea if this is a men/women's event, but would be nice if it was. Owensboro is a nice venue to watch hoop. Knowing how KWC gets their schedules up though, might be an announcement about November 1st.
