Message: [QUOTE="Vuce, post: 3906900, member: 89"] Will def. check some of those out but I have seen Davidson, St. Bonnie’s and Richmond a lot over the years. My dad is a Umass grad and has season tickets so I see a ton of those teams play. Mckillop, Schmidt and Mooney are definitely not worse coaches. They are all awesome coaches who have chosen to stay in their programs. I think each one of them has been at those schools for 15+ years. They have implemented their systems with their players and run it their way. None of them have had overwhelming success either. And I just watched SD State look like an 8th grade team in this tournament that had no offensive plan despite knowing exactly the defense that would be thrown at them. If you are just looking at KenPom, isn’t UConn top 25 in that as far as offensive efficiency? I’d also take Loyola off that list. They are a legit really good team with a lot of juniors and seniors riding that wave over the last couple years. That’s the cool part about being a mid major. You have a team that develops together over a few years and also why you see more mid majors winning games now. The have less talent than the UKs of the world but make up for it with experience. Will be interesting to see if Loyola can maintain that offensive efficiency next year when they lose a ton of kids. I’ll definitely follow them closer next season to see if it works out. [/QUOTE]
