G-MAC Basketball

Re: G-MAC Basketball

Yes. The G-MAC has really turned into a nice conference - basketball-wise and as an all-sports conference.

CU didn't make the conference tournament this year. And, while that sucks for us, its a sign of conference strengthening that a team that went 5-2 out of conference (including a win against Lake Superior St.) didn't make the tournament.

I suspect if Bain was able to finish out the season you guys probably would have been in (and we probably would have been out).

Re: G-MAC Basketball

KWC ends the first half with a 14-2 run to close within 20 of Findlay at the half. Ugh.

3 scholarship players gone before the season even started. Top 3 scorers on the season missing for this game - Harris with a broken foot, Dzierzawski with a severe illness of a family member and Hatton out because of 2 techs last game. Playing with 8 players total...3 scholarship players...so given the circumstances it could be worse.

I believe the coaching search is going to generate some much needed excitement in the KWC program over the next few weeks. For now, if we can just make this final score somewhat respectable we should be happy.

Lake Erie upsets Walsh in first round of G-MAC tourney, 76-67

Mild upset. Teams are really close in the G-MAC and every game could be competitive this week.

Re: G-MAC Basketball

CU finished in the 9 spot, so I have no rooting interest this year. Good luck to all.

BTW - I'd love to see the tournament expanded to include more teams (especially if the conference expands again). G-MAC takes 8 out of 13. MEC takes 10 out of 12. I think 10 sounds good.

8 makes for a nice even bracket with no byes but you could certainly do a first round bye for the top 2 seeds and expand the pool to 10 easily enough.

Missouri S&T vs. Ohio Valley would be an interesting game.

Better bring a pillow...just in case.

Re: G-MAC Basketball

I know you were joking, but Missouri S&T has the worst team on the planet. The Miners haven't won a conference game all season!

Re: G-MAC Basketball

Being in a conference with better teams is only helpful if you're a better team. How much has being in the GLVC helped William Jewell or UIS come tourney time? Having Bellarmine in the GLVC doesn't help those teams, but being in a weaker conference would.

And I'm not lecturing anyone....I asked someone else a question and you chimed in and called me "pig headed". Oh, and KWC is the worst team on the planet. ;)

I remember him as well. Tallest coach I have ever seen. He seemed like a gentle giant to me.
