MVC Games Week 13 2024-25

[smidge34]

Nah man, we have seen some really good basketball played over the years in Murray, KY and we’ve seen some bad too occasionally. We know the difference. There’s no way to say this without sounding cocky but oh well, we went up and swept Iowa with a team with no PG, just 2 undersized bad shooters, along with two 6’6” MAYBE 6’7” in sneakers post players and a bunch of 6’5” wings and a clueless head coach, lmao. We will be fine when we get a team and coach in here, the support and the money are there.

Your annual reminder that league play is really, really hard and weird stuff happens regardless of the league you play in.

100%

Prohm was a bad hire, but was a lamb for the slaughter regardless. No coach was going to be able to come in and meet the expectations that were set. Murray fans will eventually understand that it is just harder here. But not yet…

Not exactly the same, but the Alabama football coach that replaced Saban in a similar position. Never will meet the standard.

Agreed. Fans don’t want to hear it, but whoever got hired was set-up to fail. They were starting over from literal ground zero after the whole team was poached *AND* simultaneously moving up from the 28th ranked league to the 10th ranked league. Find a coach who faced both of those challenges at the same time.

If Murray was in the OVC right now, they’d have the best NET by 50-100 spots and the fans would be singing Prohm’s praises as he cruised to the NCAA Tournament.

Not much difference in Wardle’s first 3 years and Prohm’s first 3 years, btw.

Yep. They’d have 3 OVC Championships and Prohm would be business as usual.

I will say, the money is there, but they still have the 11th best arena in the Valley. Even after they renovate, the top level is still a mile away from the court. Such a terrible setup.

Bradley takes UNI’s softness and says “hold my beer”. Ugly basketball in the first half from Cedar Falls but Tyran Anderson is a mother fucker who is willing UNI in this game.

Duke Deen and Zek Montgomery are 2-12 in the first half. The only two “tough guys” on Bradley’s roster - Ahmet Jonovic and Bully Johnson have 14 of BU’s 25 points.

This Bradley team is toast. Pack it up. Disappointing as hell.

[AcesAces]

BIG TIME WIN for the Aces on the road. I don't know what got into the bigs, but they seem to be just a bit PO'd and are taking it out on the MVC.

Go Aces!

Bradley letting the league down big time. Losing is one thing but they are getting absolutely buried the last two games. Worst case scenario for Drake who needs every Q1 game they can get.

Evansville went on the road in Nashville and took down Belmont.

Aces are in a tie for 6th/7th with Illinois St now.

At least that 9500 attendance game last week came before these two games. If that game was one week later, that crowd would’ve taken a sizeable hit.
