Is Reed Sheppard still a lottery pick after this game?
Yes, but the only reason he is because it is a down draft year. I love him as a college player, but some pro team is going to take him way too high. Lack of height, length and top flight athletic ability is a tough thing to make up for NBA for a guy you picking that high. I don’t mean he will suck as a NBA player. He would be a good high floor guy late first round pick in a typical NBA draft. He has a really good skill set and will play for a while in the NBA, but I just have a hard time seeing him turning into what you hope for in a lotto pick.

20 point run, wow

Zona has totally took Lassina Traore out of the game to this point.

Dukes win. Dambrot isn't done yet.

Definitely a bad week to be a Bud Ice in Terre Haute.
LOL. They had a poster who was telling other fans to be on the lookout for Ross and Doc at the game.

This has really turned into a fun game

This is the second time Chris May has won this award. He won it in 2013-14, too. Levick won it in 2005-6.

I think being the NIT for the last 40 years is what is killing the NIT.

In this era the AD needs to have the next coach in mind at all times. The good years, the bad years, always. The AD (and boosters) should have 3-4 names whose agents they are prepared to call with very little notice. Sustainable success will involve being able to have your coach poached and immediately turn around and make another good hire..
Unfortunately, ISU doesn't have a permanent AD or University President right now. They probably don't want my advice, but they should hire Jim Crutchfield or Ben Howlett. Build upon the high octane offensive style that Schertz brought. Don't under any circumstances hire a retread.

The Kayden Proctor thing is mind-boggling, but somebody at Alabama opened the purse strings. Proctor being from Iowa, just probably looked around IC and thought life was just a bit more to his liking in Tuscaloosa. It’s a toss-up who has the better O-line heritage (or O-line U as the kids say), but Iowa couldn’t move the ball with a D9 bulldozer last season under Brian Ferentz, so it makes sense.
I don't know if Proctor was a money thing so much as wanting to get back with his friends at Alabama. He made the announcement right after returning from a spring break trip he took with some of his former Alabama teammates.

Maybe we’re going about this wrong. We should prop him up to be hired away!
Kind if strange that an AD of the year can spend 16 years at a program like SLU and have escaped the eye of high major programs that whole time. You think one of them would have spotted such greatness. Can't figure that one out. It doesn't seem fair.

I am excited about Schertz coming in. New blood and a coach that may be much better at managing a team and a game is inspiring hope. That being said, reading the ISU message board has made me realize that the idea of a coach coming in, doing really well, and then leaving for a P6 conference, but leaving your team in a much better place is just not the way of the world anymore. A whole bunch of guys on this board keep commenting about not minding getting a coach on the rise even if there is a danger of losing that coach in a few years to a better job, because our program will be in a better spot. Well, this is the example about how that is simply an outdated concept. Schertz, if what we are hearing is correct, is going to bring most of his better players to SLU. ISU will absolutely be back to ground zero after this happens. They will absolutely not be in a better place than when he arrived. If he does great things for us and then leaves in a few years, taking all of our best players, we will be in the same spot we were now and after Crews.
Again, I am excited about the idea of Scherz coming in. However, this is why I would have preferred a guy who's a really good coach, but just didn't work out at a P6 school who will appreciate the idea of staying with us long term even after raising the program up.
ISU is in a much better spot than before they hired Schertz. Schertz made the job more attractive to other coaches, increased the financial commitment the school was willing to make to the program, increased their fundraising levels and increased awareness of the program across the country. It is now a program that is more attractive to coaches and players. Now they just need to hire the right guy to build on that.

I do feel for them. They probably don’t want to hear that from us, it is rough.
