Conversation Starter - Coach Jake MVC Tourney Track Record

[CatFan]

I was having a conversation with a buddy yesterday about heading to St Louis this weekend. I haven’t missed many tournaments in the last fifteen to twenty years and I started thinking.

Has A Coach Jake led Panther team ever lost in a Semi-Final Match up at Arch Madness. I can think of several first round disappointments, several Championship Sunday celebrations. But for the life of me I can’t recall ever sitting in the Kiel / Scottrade / Savvis / Enterprise Center on a Saturday afternoon watching our Panthers lose since he took the helm.

Am I crazy?

2008 - we lost to the Redbirds 56-42 on Saturday. I’m pretty sure that’s the only time under Jake’s tenure where we lost on Saturday.

Your point still stands, though. Our record in STL is a little crazy. The last 15 years have either been a Friday loss or win it all with very few exceptions.

The quick turnarounds are all about who's coaching you and Jake on short prep is head and shoulders above anybody else in the league.

Correct. UNI is typically lose in the first game they play or play in the championship. A couple friends and I used to laugh about it. Then… Drake.
