Appropriate. We're number 2 because we shoot like shit.MikeUMA wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 2:46 pm We went into today shooting 28.69% from 3. Can't get much worse, right?
Minutemen today: hold my beer.
Today's 1-21 performance dragged that down almost a full point
We're now 27.89%
Still not dead last though. Cal State Fullerton is at 26.78%, last among the 355 in NCAA's D-I stats. We're solidly in 354th place.

Think of it this way: when we win 5 straight in the A10 Tournament, then win the NCAA Tournament, we'll avoid the 20-loss season.

Re: 2024-25 Season
A10 season awards get announced today or tomorrow. I'd bet Diggins makes 3rd Team, maybe has a shot at 2nd. He's still first in conference game scoring (20.6 ppg), and 7th in the league across the full season (16.9).
I think he's the only one. Not sure if Curry did enough to make it. He's 25th (13.2) in scoring in conference games, and just outside the top 25 across the full season. He's 2nd in overall A:TO ratio (2.7), fourth across the season (2.5).

Re: 2024-25 Season
Somebody has to say this: There is about a 95% chance that the MAC and the A10 get the same number of teams into the NCAA tournament this year. The only other possibility is if VCU loses in the conference tourney. VCU is the only school with a shot at an at-large bid.

Re: 2024-25 Season
This season was painful and disappointing but I'll be following every player move and recruit in the off season, as usual.
I really like a lot of the guys on the team. We didn't gel and couldn't shoot well enough this year. Lost too many close games.
I don't know who will be back. I really like the improvement in Worthy. Hope he returns. We need guards. Would like to see Nate come back with a year under his belt. Fingers crossed on Diggins and Curry.
Transfer portal will be interesting but we will see what we can attract to join us in the MAC.
Keep the faith, bros.

Doc, the Basketball IQ on this team is really low... REALLY LOW. There are at least 4 games that I can recall that "dumb basketball" led to a loss or a chance at a win. St Louis comes to mind quickly.... you have the fucking (5 point) lead and the ball in hand with under a minute and dumb/stupid basketball ensues. At that level - the most basic common sense is all you need to hold on to that game.
