Valley Thoughts

Wait there is a guy named fofana?

I'm sure you remember The Name Game

From the “Are You Kidding Me?” file...

According to Bradley’s beat writer:

”An adverse reaction to a cryotherapy treatment has sidelined two Missouri State players tonight. Reggie Scurry and Abdul Fofana developed foot blisters after a whole-body cryotherapy session. Scurry is 3rd-leading scorer at 8.9, also 4.2 rebounds. Fofana not in rotation.”

Valley gonna Valley...

Wow, must be the son of Feefi!

Man, Bear fans have to be beside themselves. Clearly they have the talent to be a clear 1 or 2 in the Valley. Bradley is just hammering them tonight and they're going to drop to 5-4.

I bet the fire Lusk thread on their forum is doing big business tonight. They were pissed that he didn't get fired last year so they're probably losing their minds right now.

Too soon. #triggered

Barry also has (I believe) the 3rd best rpi to ever be left out. At one time he had the best 2 rpi's to not get invited.

Then he ended up at SIU after Lowry dug an eternal hole for that program.

[WheatShock]

Barry should have gone but was left out by the selection committee; not sure what year that was.

2006

Barry has the dubious distinction of leading the team with the best RPI to even be left out. They were #21 in the RPI IIRC.

I believe Lansing is the only other coach that has been to the dance.

There's good news and bad news in the Valley.

The good news: There isn't nearly the amount of turnover in the coaching staffs as there had been.

The bad news: Well, it's pretty much the same as the good news.

Has any coach other than Jacobson (currently coaching the last place team) ever made an NCAA tourney? There aren't many coaches who've even made an NIT.

UNI delusion in a snapshot post from their board:

I genuinely feel this team is much better than any other in the valley, they just haven't made the adjustment yet.
Unexplainable and unacceptable that it's taking this long for the coaching staff to figure it out and react, but we've seen in previous seasons that they will go on a prolonged run once they do make the necessary adjustments. I see no reason why we can't do that again, and run the table in StL.
We've played and beaten MUCH better teams than we're losing to right now. At some point the coaches will realize that when we don't wait 30 seconds into the 35 second clock to attempt to score, we can score more efficiently! At that point I have no doubt we'll dispose of the rest of the valley like the trash heap they are.

UNI will finish 9-9 after starting 0-5 and have the RPI tie break for the 1 seed in St. Louis
