I'm really starting to wonder why all these players who come from winning high school programs continue to go to Moser. This is a guy who has and will never win anything, his last wining season as a head coach was 14 years ago.
What type of lies is he telling these kids. Kids need to realize this guy is a loser and couldn't coach his way out a paper bag.
This post is so factually inaccurate it's hard to know where to begin. Firstly, Moser has notched two winning seasons in the past three years with the last one coming just this past season.
Second, his 24-13 mark in 2014-2015 culminated in a CBI Championship. So much for never winning anything.
Third, if the preseason prognosticators are to be believed, Loyola's rebuilding efforts are about to pay off in a big way. The Ramblers are widely viewed as one of the preseason darlings of the Valley. Yes, I realize that the predictions mean nothing and that it's the results on the floor matter; but it sounds as though the talent is there to make you eat these words.
First, I was referring to Moser never having an above .500 conference record. He can schedule all the D2 games he wants, but has repeatedly flopped on conference play.
Second, it would have been embarrassing if a Missouri Valley team couldn't have won the CBI. The field was terrible, I know low-majors like Valpo and Loyola like to celebrate minscule achievements like that.
Third, why are you defending them? They are the reason this conference is where it is at and made Wichita State leave the league. You and them should be good friends at the bottom of the conference.
First, I'm glad you made that point clear in your reply.I would not expect a lifelong MVC fan to make such an easily refutable statement. Please be clearer in the future , as anybody would have read your statement in the same way I did.
Second, while it lacks the prestige of other tournaments, winning the CBI or any tournament is worthy of celebration by the fanbase and to a lesser extent the conference as a whole since it is positive press that raises the profile of the school and the conference.
Third, Creighton's departure the Koch bros money and the promise of a better TV deal in the AAC made Wichita State leave. The Shockers were leaving regardless of what the MVC did and had been planning to do so for years. The MVC could have added Dayton Belmont Murray State Valpo Loyola and SLU and the Shockers still would have bailed.
As for your comment about "low majors" I'm not sure how Valpo qualifies as such since our win total the past three years exceeds all current MVC members our seven year KenPom beats all current members except Northern Iowa and our sixteen year average is just a hair below Murray State who everyone was falling all over themselves to add to the MVC. If that's a low major then Gonzaga Butler Creighton and Wichita State must still be mid majors.
As for who I'm 'defendng ' I'm not so much defending Loyola as I am defending the truth and objective reality. I don't care which schools you bash. Bash Loyola. Bash Valpo. Bash the MVC as a whole. Bash away to your heart's content, all I ask is that whatever bashing you do be grounded in at least some semblance of some sort of factual basis.
