Re: G-MAC Basketball
I read the same thing. I think G-MAC may have corrected their story.
Interesting fact ,well as best I can remember, W PG Lindsey played against USI PG Washington and OVU PG Allen. He out scored both by a bunch. I know a couple of games do not mean much but Lindsey has a history of being a very good player playing on really good teams.

Re: G-MAC Basketball
That's my bad. I mis-read. I thought it said they were returning Walker and Allen. Yeah, that makes a world of difference! Now we wait and see if the GLVC trolls come make fun of me as proof that people from Owensboro can't read.Originally posted by JDonAB92 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
Ohio Valley is full of newcomers. When you dig into them you find they played pretty well at their last level. It is very hard to determine how good that last level was. Lots of small unknown programs. I think there maybe a couple of good players that flew under the radar. Time will tell. D&E has speed and size. Last year they began to learn how to win. I do not like their schedule. It my take them back a step.Leave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
Ohio Valley lost their top 3 leading scorers. Walker and Allen were big losses at 20 ppg and 17 ppg. Unless they have added some serious replacements, I think their ranking is justified.
Cedarville and D&E return a lot. Polls don't mean much but D&E should be good. Their coach took over in October, did not have the luxury of every working with the squad, players not familiar with his schemes/plays, etc and I thought they finished pretty well. He returns a lot and a team that a year under their belt with him, including work in the off-season. Patella played for John Beilein at WVU. He brought in an assistant this year that played at WV Wesleyan for Beilein's son. So he has an assistant that is familiar now with the same offense and defense. It appears they have a lot now on the same page. Cedarville returns a good team too. I would give the nod to D&E, not that it means any thing, by way of beating Cedarville 3 times last year. D&E had some decent games at the end of last season as did Cedarville. I know nothing on Malone other than they weren't that great last season, but the GLIAC was strong.Leave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
I have tried ,based on rosters, to rank the G-MAC MBB teams. I believe W will be the strongest ,by a lot, if they are well coached. I believe the rest of the league will have very good games at home and each team will have a hand full of loses. Most teams are at least a year away from peaking but there are good shooters on each team that can bring wins when hot. I think AB, Cedarville, OVU are very close with D&E a little better due to skill players and size. I have no idea about Malone but really glad to see them in the conference.
W will be everyone's exciting pump it up game and I hope it helps them get ready for the tourney.Leave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
Agreed...I'm not sure how accurate that is. Either CU's ranking is higher than it should be, or this is indicative of the league as a whole being far weaker this year due to many of the teams losing talented players and replacing them with unknowns and freshmen that need time to develop. I know on paper TNU is way down, AB looks way down, CU looks way down...I'm not so sure Ohio Valley shouldn't be rated ahead of a couple of teams due to their experienced and talented back court. We'll see how it goes, but I definitely think the overall talent level in the league is down compared to last year.Originally posted by BlueBlood View PostLeave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
Good grief, what difference does it make? You don't earn any points for getting your preseason poll out first. I've never even considered that this would be something to be competitive over. You GLVC guys are complete bozos. Oh, and here you are griping on the G-MAC thread about something stupid and at the same time on the GLVC threads moaning about G-MAC people don't need to be posting over there. You people are out of your minds.Originally posted by EaglesPride View PostLeave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
I agree with you on this point. For the GLVC to not release its polls before a smallish league like the G-MAC is indicative of the incompetents running the GLVC office.Originally posted by UIndyGradyGreyhound View PostLeave a comment:

I'm a little surprised that CU is only 1 pt behind AB.Leave a comment:

Re: G-MAC Basketball
This is unbelievable that I'll say this: The G-MAC is run better than the GLVC, they get a preseason basketball poll out before the GLVC is a disgrace. The GLVC commissioner is a total waste. What the heck are they doing? Hats off to the G-MAC for beating the GLVC to this punch. The GLVC should hire the G-MAC commish, he's a UIndy guy I think so he can't be all bad!Originally posted by BlueBlood View PostLeave a comment:
