That is a good point you made, Seth. Why does a small conference Directional U. get credit for its one or two wins against power conference teams when a team in the SEC or Big 12 has to play 16 consecutive games against those same teams? If Directional U. had played 16 games against power teams, would it have gone 9-7? Doubtful…

Problem with leaving MissSt out, to me, was that they did schedule some quality opponents non-conference. They beat UCLA (perennial Pac10 power), Old Dominion (champ), DePaul (Big East – generally mid-pack) and Houston (CUSA Tourney champ). They lost to Western KY (quality mid-major) and Richmond (in S.Padre Island Tourney – mid major in NCAAs).

The biggest factor, in my opinion, was the SEC West was weak rankings-wise. LSU, Auburn, Arkansas and Alabama all were relatively weak, but MissSt HAD to play them twice.

To me, MissSt did what they should’ve done – plenty enough to get in.

2010-11 starting lineup:
g: bruce ellington(fast tempo, set up guy)
g: eric smith(3pt assasin, scoring combo)
g: ramon galloway(great outside shooter)
f: rj slawson(lengthy shooter/versatile)
c: sam mouldrow(insider/can hit the jumper)
bench:
lakeem jackson(needs a jump shot bad)
jondre jefferson(body strength needs work)
demontre harris(body and offense needs work)
brian richardson(3pt shooter immerdiate contributor, replace bennaulis)
Horn wants a lightning-fast team that can run and gun. But most importantly, he needs play makers that can score. Not players that need to be set up(most of the current players other than Downey).

I think the real suprise next year will be if we can get within shouting distance of a 500 record,
prediction: 10-20 in 2011 3-13 in conf.
Still, I think in 2013 we will be pretty good but I said the same of 2010.

I have been asking for a while now as to why Austin Steed is in the doghouse. He deserved way more playing time than he received. I don’t know what Horn was thinking playing Johndre Joseph over Steed. Joseph cannot shoot a fouls and between him and Jackson, it is an embarrassment! I saw kids making more FT’s at the Strom this week than either of those two. At least Jackson is a good “garbage man”, But Joseph ahead of Steed? I just do not get that.

Well, I had great expectations for this year – and like a lot of people – they didn’t pan out. I have no expectations for next year – who knows – maybe I will be surprised. Think Malik Cooke will be a good add – and hope Archie returns healthy.

Get home to your dog. Maybe that was the real reason…..Horn and co wanted to make sure Seth was able to reunite with his dog in good time…..

Total and utter disgraceful lost. 18 point lead. Darrin Horn did a horrible job in that game. Overall the season was a disappointment even with the suspension and the injury. This team doesn’t deserve a NIT birth.

It’s time to pack it in for this year. Not enough depth or talent. Give Horn and Staley year four to make some real noise, though I have a feeling both programs might surprise next year.

I hate to end on a sour note too, but there is no guarantee than another game won’t have a disappointing result. I’m o.k. with whatever they decide. But I am looking forward to next year; we could be better than many people think. If Lakeem can make some free throws and if the freshmen can contribute, we could surprise some folks. I think our numbers and overall talent will be better.
