NIT 2019

The start of the season they were basically left for dead. What a comeback. He loses all his great players and whipped his team back to winning ways. Now that's a coach.

Wait, Marshall must have a bunch of 4 star and 5 star recruits, right?

The top 6 player in minutes? Freshman Jamarius Burton, ranked 408 on 247. Freshman Dexter Dennis, unranked. Haynes-Jones, Juco, no ranking. Freshman Erik Stevenson, 79 on ESPN. Echenique, 6’11” from Columbia. McDuffie, 95th on ESPN top 100 for 2015, 4 star.

Hmmmm. I guess not. That’s it. And that’s coaching with what you’ve got.

 

[UconnU]

WSU is going to be good for the foreseeable future Dennis, Burton, Stevenson and Echenique are freshman and they have a great recruiting class coming in next year including 4 star Tyson Etienne.

Who questioned it?

Lots and lots of people. There are probably some in the last page or two. Definitely some in the twitter thread mentioned in another thread.

As long as they have Marshall, they'll be good. And as long as they have the Koch brothers as beneficiaries, they'll have the money to keep someone like him from all but the most kush jobs.

So long as Marshall is at Wichita, the Shockers were a great addition to the conference.

Lipscomb fell behind early in the second half, but came back and is in the NIT Finals.

They're a great story. Congrats to them.

Outscored Wichita 21-3 the last 7 minutes.

Yeah zero TV market, a handful of ESPN+ subs, no NCAA tourney credits, 2k miles away, funded by UConn’s political opposites - they check every box.
