Week 4 Non-Con Games Discussion

[BEARZ77]

Incredibly hard year to evaluate and predict. Teams are playing such different noncon schedules in terms of who they play, how many games , and the timing on when games occur with long stretches in between at times and then flurries of games. Even once conference season begins , the schedule will play a big role in regards to who you play at home and on the road. Losing a series to a team might be a common occurance, and losing 2 on a weekend could decide a race.

I know with the Bears getting to start games so late and probably only playing 3 noncon, with 8 newcomers it's hard to see them getting out of the gate strong. But then they play 7 of 9 games at home from Jan17-Feb 14, so that will have to be their time to make a run. Without their point guard playing yet I don't see them making a run at the title. But hope that stretch in late Jan-Feb has them where they can be a factor the rest of the way and in StL. But I really don't know what to expect.

Another poor non-con showing for Valpo. Didn’t care for the Lottich extension when it happened and I like it less now.

Bryce Drew was there for the taking, wonder if their Arch Madness performance ended those talks.

The coach who was recommend by Homer Drew and Bryce, never even got an interview.

Greg Tonagel - Played for 4 years at Valpo, turned around a program that was a disaster and broke the school record for wins and highest finish in his first year. Now they’re a National NAIA power with 3 national titles and a .795 winning percentage over 15+ years. But hey, Lottich had D1 experience.
