    Wit State loses to UTA

    I have worked for UTA for the past 3 years and their basketball team has been BAD! they got a new coach last year and they have a lot of young talent. They beat Wit St the other night and I thought their coach gave wit st and the valley a good compliment.. see below:

    "This was, I believe, our biggest win as a program," said UT Arlington Head Men's Basketball Coach Scott Cross. "Wichita State is traditionally a top-50 program in a top-five conference. We have come in here before and come close, but this is the toughest place we come to play with their crowd."

      I don't think we are that bad. Couple bad losses yes, but too early to really judge how this team is going to be. For now...we are just average.

      And I wouldn't throw Mekel in there as an enormously valuable player that we have back. While he has scored some and plays alot because of no depth at guard he has been a turnover machine and they are unforced turnovers which is even worse IMO (ie traveling, palming...etc). He's only a sophmore so I expect some mistakes under a new system, but it's been very costly at times. Matt Brauer has been the difference maker for the most part.

      Really the starting 5 has been pretty decent with the exception of Mekel at times, it's the depth that concerns me. With the exception of the last game Phil Thomasson has been very much improved over last year.


      So I would say....It's Cousinard, Brauer, Thomasson, and ?????.

          He probably has. With that baby face he probably just re-enrolls and gets another four years of eligibility.
