Weird, its like basing the whole Murray State decision off of one generational talent was a bad idea. Wouldn't have guessed it...
They may not have helped this year but the past two years (and several other years in the past) they certainly would have. I am still fully in favor of their addition to the MVC because of their ability to win in march the problem is we need a school (preferably a private) within a tight footprint that moves the needle in a similar fashion to make it happen which isn't exactly a long list of options. You're allowed to have a down year or two or has it only taken you 12 games to forget how mediocre UNI has been the past few years? We believed in them because of their history Murray State should receive the same courtesy and treatment.They still would have proven to be a better game than GCU and Marshall who UNI has closed out the non conference schedule with.
Wasn't unexpected the last couple years for UNI. Jake has a cycle. It is what it is. The two teams before the Tuttle team were pretty bad too. The difference is that we don't buy CIT bids to pad win totals anymore to make it look better than it actually was.
I'm salty about that Marshall series. Scheduled off of them getting into the tournament and winning a game and they've fallen apart. We also have to go there next year. GCU is going to turn out to be an good win. They've got 3 transfers that will be eligible at Christmas. They'll still win a bunch of game in the WAC.
Is cool with UNI's cycle. Is not cool with Murray State's cycle.
Murray State (yr/kenPom)
2004 - 61
2006 - 89
2010 - 53
2012 - 35
2015 - 57
2018 - 62
2019 - 51
It's worth noting that this was through 4 different coaches and in a league that for the majority of the time was significantly weaker than the MVC. I'm not advocating for Murray State to move to the MVC, but your arguments are at odds with each other.
