Herd Basketball 4-1
- Thread starter MU PIKE
- Start date
Queen's other wins are vs Clinton College, Green Bay, and Morgan St.
The teams on both our schedules are the absolute pits of college basketball.

Looking ahead, Toledo is supposed to be a pretty decent team this season. They, plus the other MAC foes we still have ahead on the schedule, Akron and Ohio U. All come to the CAM. On the road we play a two-game swing, in 3 days, up in Pittsburgh versus Bobby Morris and Duquesne, who is currently 5-1. We also play at UNC-Greensboro, a SO CON team I believe, and the last I looked they were 2-3. Then there is a real "toughie" back in the CAM against Glenville! Hope Conference schedule opens at the end of the month with Appy and JMU. if we are any worse than 10-2 or so going into Conference play, it should be considered a reason for disappointment and perhaps a cause to worry, IMO!!
Happy they are winning but it’s hard to get excited because of the schedule.
I enjoy watching the young players. Conner, Frick, and Handlogten are playing unlike freshmen and are making us a better team. With the playing time they are getting, can't help but believe we will be very good by the end of this season. Not sure how that translates into SBC wins, but I am hopeful.
I get the point of the schedule being 2.0 this season. However at the end of the day hard schedule or easy schedule we are in a one bid conference. Maybe we can have another hot streak and go to the dance this year. Otherwise I am just going to enjoy the season this year
Appy won at ETSU by 4 on Wednesday. Actually, the Apps are having a fairly good season so far. And just noticed that So. Miss is something like 5-0 or 6-0. SBC may be fairly decent and competitive in roundball this season!!
Hurt meniscus which last I heard he was getting surgery on (if he hasn't already) more than likely will redshirt this year.
Except there are teams that have gotten an at large from conferences as crappy as the SBC through hard scheduling and winning, such as the WCC and even the OVC, which is one of the bottom conferences of the entire division. And except that there is a big difference between getting seeded 12 or 13th and having a real shot at catching the 5th or 6th place team from a “big” conference in an upset, and getting seeded 15th or 16th where winning a game is once in a lifetime special that gets its own 30 for 30. The SBC champion has even been sent to the idiotic “play in game” in Dayton multiple times.
And the end of the day, its the difference between the kid who “just wants a piece of paper” and takes Fundamentals of English Grammar” and the kid who want to find out just what he is made of and take “Organic Chemistry”. I am a Son of Marshall, so I’m with the kids who want to see just how good they are.
