I know college basketball has changed over the last decade or so, but how on Gods green earth was this a “really good season”?
Swept by your rival, lost your last two games by a combined 36 points and had more humiliating off the court issues.
One NCAA tournament appearance since 2008. I’m ready for major changes.
AMEN!!!!!
This was in relation to expectations at the beginning of the season.
Swept by Akron ... yes. But second game was w/out your top scorer (at that time) who was injured a game earlier and No. 3 scorer sitting out w/a back injury.
First game at their place came with practically no prep (they moved the game up from the end of the year, remember) and was a toss-up to the end.
Half empty is one NCAA since 2008 ... half full is one NCAA since 2017.
Yes, lost last 2 because alledged senior shows his selfishness and immaturity.
I follow this league avidly, not just one team, and know much more than I care to share about multiple programs. And none of this is unusual.
I'll end with this ... yes, KSU has had end-of-season issues recently. But I will also say - particularly with the consistent winning programs at the top of the league - they ALL have AT LEAST one such issue during the season as well, and quite often more.
There are multiple programs around the league that would love to have the issues Kent State (and Buffalo, and Akron, and Toledo, and Ohio etc) have. (anybody remember the Zips recent lockerroom incident)?
As a final note ... knowing what has been written about DP/Hamilton - as a KSU fan would you rather have had DP play the last two games or not?
If KSU had won the last two games w/DP - knowing what happened w/Hamilton - would you still be happy?
The right decision was made, everybody has to deal with it.
