According to you, did WKU with their Kenpom #113 have a good season?

BTW, I don't agree that Kenpom is THE answer to telling if a team had a good season.

Generally under 100 is a pretty good standard for us. 75 is a good season, imo.

Waiting to answer the passive aggressive question but what About Jeff jones?!?

There is nothing at all passive aggressive about asking you what the Kenpom # is in your book that Jeff has to achieve in order for us to say he had a good season. You stated earlier that a Kenpom # defines when a team has had a good season, so I wanted to know what ODU's number is (in your opinion). It is an honest and reasonable question.

I agree with BigBlueBobby in that I don't think adding another guard is ODU's biggest need unless they are a good 3 point threat and could provide some decent point guard backup to Curry.

I disagree with most folks on here to a degree. I do think we need a serviceable Big man. But I feel like out biggest persistent problem has been we cannot hit a three point shot with consistency. We lost more games because teams packed it in and cut off our inside game and dared us to shoot, and we cannot shoot. We need a lights out dagger throwing shooter more than anything in my opinion. if that is a a 6'2" guard fine, if it is a 6'8" forward fine. we need someone who can hit from 15' and out

JJ isn't recruiting his way out of that problem. His teams have shot like **** since the 90s. Its all about the system/coaching on that issue. We got dudes transferring to other schools and shooting 45%. Oliver is a damn good shooter that only shot like 32%. You want better shooters, you need a new coach.

Jeff does seem to suck the ability to shoot right out of his recruits. Wonder if he tells everybody - I don't care how you do offensively as long as you ace all of your man-to-man defensive responsibilities.
