SShoe Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The A-10 had its media day and made its official preseason predictions. According to this, we've been picked to finish 6th in the conference. A-10 Media Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this, we've been picked to finish 6th in the conference. A-10 Media Day Well, it's a marked improvement over last year's predictions where we were picked at 11. CE and RL got some props which is good to see. A little surprised KC didn't make an all D team. And of course you can only wonder how this would have been all different had.... aw really, what's the use of crying over spilled milk?

xfactor9600 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It's a good sign that Loe made the All Freshman team. Had no idea he was that highly thought of by the eastern half of the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked to finish 6th is a very good conference is truly an indication that we are a program "in shambles." I guess all the coaches agree with your prediction of 18 wins (not counting Rockhurst). Seriously, this likely presumes no KM for the year. Once again, I think the coaches and selected media (who are they?) are once again underestimating the crew led by RM. Like someone else wrote, good to see that the "experts" think so highly of RL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to learn the college game and play against better competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Loe will be the best shooter on the team even when Kwamain suits up. He just needs to learn the college game and play against better competition How many games into the season (not counting Rockhurst because that doesnt count lol) will it be when RL misses his first shot attempt? Im going to say 5 games. He will be 30 for 30 coming into the 5th game of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well, with everything that happened, 6th seems to be a pretty good indication that what we have left is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will do better than 6th but even fourth did not get us in the NIT last year-we do not have the consistent history that Dayton has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I really don't see the point of naming an All-Freshman Team before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShoe Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 We will do better than 6th but even fourth did not get us in the NIT last year-we do not have the consistent history that Dayton hasDespite finishing 4th in the tough A-10, we did not receive an NIT bid because of our crappy play during the non-conference portion of the season. Unfortunately, the same could very well happen again this season. Hopefully we do a little better during the first half of this season than we did last year.

He just needs to learn the college game and play against better competition kwamain is not a great shooter. his mechanics are horrible. that said, mitchell is a great scorer that knows when to take a shot, drive, pass or work to create a shot as good as anyone at slu since marque imo. btw, marque was not a good shooter either. but he too was a great scorer.

And "clutch as hell" as well. His mechanics are a little off, but a lot of what he does is very good. Elevates well, great rotation, elbow in. Its quirky, but you can find the nice parts of it if you look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Reggie Miller he was one of the best pure shooter in the NBA during his career and his mechancis were craptacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much improved since freshman year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
