Monday's March Musings
The Men's basketball season came in like a Lion and out like a Lamb as a local player Anthony Crump put the final nail in the coffin for the season. Since the 1998-1999 Season we have
Zero NCAA tournament appearances
Zero Mac Championship game appearances (only way into the tournament)
For coaches we have tried:
D2 X&O guy Jim? (Boone)
Local hero B1G ten assistant Charles Ramsey
Power 5 assistant with local ties and an identity Rob Murphy
Alumni with past success in MAC Stan Heath
Nothing has worked. Yesterday, BGSU fired their coach Michael Huger. While I think he could help our program I do not know if we have the money right now to pay two basketball coaches. Nor do I think we should this year's team was very young and very lean. Most players are out of transfers and frankly being on the #316 ranked team in the country I do not know if a lot of our players would have many options to stay at the 366 team Division 1 level of College Basketball so we claw and dig inch by inch upward.
Had Season Tickets this season, was a good experience and a nice night out. George Gervin Game Above Convocation Center has good sight lines. The arena seems to be an easy gym for opponents to shoot in, I do not have the answers but we need to try something new court design, new baskets, Water tower painted keys??
I probably will be back but I would like more of the Saturday at noon games instead of 2pm.
Fanbase I think if the team starts winning the lower bowl would be filled on weekend games, however 25 years of losing, and a small chance at the big dance every year leads to apathy.
Saw a Bald Eagle last week flying over Michigan Avenue over Belleville Road, thought it was a weird spot to see an Eaglet he Eagle maybe is a symbol of how lost our basketball program may be and how with grit, hard work and some luck anyone can survive anywhere.
