2024-2025 Around the League and Other Games of Interest

Bradley laying an absolute egg at Wazzu.

9 points in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

Not a guy on the floor that worries you.

On the other end of this game, Wazzu looks tough. They are big, physical, and can shoot. That will definitely be a tough matchup for us in Vegas.

Only 2(and 1 D1 Games in) but it looks like RJ has really stepped up and that would be the biggest difference maker. We knew what we were gonna get out of Hutty and Ty. Pretty confident with some variance what we'd get from Bond/Trey. But RJ was the biggest question mark and so far looks ready to deliver.

Next would like to see some consistent bench production. We'll see what we have from them as the games start to get more competitive.

How about Evansville getting beat by 50 tonight on the road at OSU? Only scored 30 points in the whole game. That's not D1 worthy basketball.

They're ****ing terrible and embarrass the league at every turn.

They're going to fire Ragland and start over. Again. For the 4th time in a decade.

Best thing that could possibly happen would be for them to leave and stay at 10.

You know I think about how the end to the 2015-2016 season started our downfall, but we inflicted an even worse curse on Evansville. They were one (absolute cinema) Wes Washpun jumper from winning Arch Madness, going to the tournament for the first time since 1999. Would they have done much after that? We all know the power of what one tournament win can do for a program, maybe they get some better recruits, maybe some more fans in-state. With the NIL landscape, maybe they can fundraise better if they can advertise an MVC trophy from within the decade. Who knows what that alternate timeline looks like.

They did it to themselves. No sympathy.

Firing Marty after he was the only guy in 25 years to make them relevant to hire a guy that had a shady, at best, history blew up just like everybody knew it would and then bad hire after bad hire, AD after AD, tiny enrollment. They made their bed.

They're terrible in everything and the league is going to be better off when Evansville realizes it and drops to D3 where they belong.

Forget going to 10.

Go to 9 and drop Valpo at the same time.

Do a hard reset for agreeing on what membership in the MVC entails and find someone worth a damn to make it 10.

I'm in. Toledo is that team but it looks like the Mountain West stuff isn't going to happen.

Tucker Devries is leading WVU in minutes and scoring. That team is probably going to get it's cage rocked in the B12 though.

I forgot Yesufu ended up there. Seems like he's been around for a decade.

I mean he predates covid and this is his 6th season, so not far off.

Fun fact: He was redshirt on the Emmenecker team.

[achrist70]

DeVries is second on the team in scoring?

Tucker misses the extra Covid year correct?

He was first when I posted it but the other kid scored more last night so he is probably second now yes.

Correct. Tucker is done after this year.
