Vermont is a team that the big boys want no part of at the start of the year. They returned everyone this year except one player. Although tonight their best player was out. They will probably win the American East and could suprise a lot of teams.

UNI is bad. Like colossoly bad.

Bowen Born is an important piece but he's not this important.
I know you mentioned Jake possibly leaving but where's he go from here? Hope Ford moves on from StL and go there?

time will tell if they are "colossally" bad. The season is still early.

But they lack a team identity and too many inconsistent players. A coach can't rely on a kid who scores 12 one night and 2 the next.

Seems like the kind of guy a P5 that wants to cheap out on a hire right now. If Minnesota would have gotten to $2M he would have jumped.

He's never been a great offensive coach but he made up for it by having really tough teams that defended and rebounded. This team isn't doing that.

I might be overreacting but this team finishes 7th in the Valley if they play like this. That can't happen when you're making what he's making at our level. Basketball has to be a big time revenue sport for us.

I thought the schedule set up for a couple of solid quality wins to start the season, with Nichols & Vermont home games. Now, with Arkansas and other tough games coming up, it's not looking good.
