If #5 happens I certainly hope you apply for the job you have the answers
Zero Big Wins (Didn't beat a team under 200 ranking outside of the 3 oral roberts wins, a team that couldnt play defense at all)
NDSU wins:
Tarleton 214
Indiana St 237
Pacific 297
Cal Poly 305
Idaho 321
CSUN 324
We were losing late to D3 St Thomas, Denver & Omaha... even und was close in the 1st game. YUCK!
Yes, at the end of season, the players "reign's" were released and they were allowed to push the ball more and isolate more 1 on 1. So Credit on that, Beat an awful Denver team and ORU didn't play defense at all in semi's
this WASN'T a good basketball team, especially with the talent we had coming back.
You can't refute the stats or the rankings of our wins.
Attendence & Excitement way down. I think we had 2 breakaway dunks all year, zero fast break offense whatsoever & we were soft inside with 3 guys bigger than 6 10.
NCAA official net rankings of our wins indicates:
#Fools Gold
Ill end on 5 positives!
#1 Pray on your knees every night that Grant Nelson doesn't transfer
#2 Find a PG
#3 Hope Andrew Morgan blossoms next year
#4 Find 1 transfer to bang down low
#5 Hope some MAC/SunBelt team takes Dave, otherwise it'll be more mediocrity & that doesn't sell tickets or get wins over #200 ranked teams.
