Yeah, and they played today without their leading scorer and one other player. Still, they got great bench contributions from their subs, something like 30 plus more points than D'Antoni's bench contributed. Which means he's either got to (1) recruit better or, (2) coach up some of the guys currently on the bench in their 3rd, even 4th, years who contribute little or nothing game after game.I'd not give JMU too much credit for the win today, we beat ourselves. They are probably the best team we've played all year, but they gave us plenty of opportunities to win. We failed miserably at the line, took stupid shot selection from folks who should play inside but apparently can't prevent themselves from jack up threes that they make once out of every 10 shots. And you can't have a 7 ' 1'" middleman who just plain won't shoot a seven footer when wide open.
While it is possible SBC basketball is better than one might have thought, it is clearly because MU, JMU, USM (this year) and ODU (not this year) were added. Remember JMU was in the very competitive Colonial League last year, one could argue much better league than C-USA.
No one thought it "would" be a cake walk. Most observers understand that it SHOULD be a cake walk for the Herd, given the very low level of competition this league provides.Would be a cake walk for the Herd! Hello JMU. DD going to find the conference schedule a little more challenging. JMO
Several posters on here. Go back and look. Most felt Sunbelt basketball was soft.Who thought it was going to be a cake walk for DD?
A lot of people mentioned the cake OOC schedule and also assumed SBC was worse than CUSA.Several posters on here. Go back and look. Most felt Sunbelt basketball was soft.
It is soft... the problem is so is our basketball program.Several posters on here. Go back and look. Most felt Sunbelt basketball was soft.
Ironically I like our chances to go to the NCAA tourney a lot more in the Sun Belt. The downside is being a 15 seed instead of a 13DD says the Belt is tough in basketball. Likely is, more then he thought. JMU, USM seem to be the frontrunners. If we stay healthy and play well, we can be in the thick of it.
Agreed... We went from a conference that was traditionally ranked around 12-13 in conference RPI (CUSA) to a league consistently ranked 15-16 in conference RPI (Sun Belt) out of 32 total conferences.Ironically I like our chances to go to the NCAA tourney a lot more in the Sun Belt.
