MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 OFFSEASON RECRUITING I struck out quite a bit in the regular season, so landed 3 recruits in offseason recruiting.

Alexander looks like a career backup. Erickson looks pretty good, in fact he might start right away. Britton looks likes a pretty good shooter. I was hoping Cook could start right away but I don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means rebounds will be an issue this year. Ray Alexander will redshirt cause he doesn't really offer me anything this year. Rookie SF Erickson will start.

MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) END OF REGULAR SEASON - YEAR 7 Final record was 26-3, which is by far my best season yet. I finished 1st in the conference for the first time. I'm currently Ranked nationally, #21, which has never happened before. My RPI is a ridiculous #15 in the country!!! IN CONFERENCE STATS/RANKINGS PPG RPG APG SPG BPG Turnovers Fouls FG% 3PT% 92.8 - 1st 34.8 - 4th 19.3 - 2nd 7.1 - 1st 9.0 - 2nd 353 - 1st 498 - 2nd 52.2 - 2nd 38.5 - 9th Pretty dominant performance, points were through the roof and assists are probably the highest I've had them. A bit disappointing 3 point % was down. TOP STAT PERFORMERS - YEAR 7 PPG RPG APG SPG BPG PF C Owens - 24.3 PF C Owens - 8.6 SG M Lowe - 5.7 PF B Wilkins - 1.3 PF C Owens - 2.2 SG M Lowe - 16.5 PF B Wilkins - 7.2 PG B Ware - 4.6 SG M Lowe - 1.2 PF A Thurman - 1.3 PF A Thurman - 11.9 PF A Thurman - 5.8 PG N Britton - 3.8 PF C Owens - 1.0 PF B Wilkins - 1.3 Owens had a great year, leading the team in points and finally stepping up with some solid rebounds and blocks. It looks like he's finally the forward/center hybrid I was hoping he'd be.

MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT - YEAR 7 I had a bye in the First Round. I beat Temple 90-56 in the Quarter Finals. I beat Saint Joseph's 93-83 in the Semi Finals. And I beat Xavier 68-64 in the Conference Finals. That means I get an auto bid to the NCAA Tournament!

MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 NCAA TOURNAMENT SELECTION SHOW UCLA, Purdue, UCONN, & Georgia Tech were given #1 seeds. I was given a #4 seed! Holy crap.

MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 NCAA TOURNAMENT I beat George Mason 89-53 in the First Round. Wow, I beat Maryland 83-68 in the Second Round. They are arguably a better team than mine. Unfortunately I ran into #1 seed Purdue in the Sweet 16 and lost 78-114. The Final Four was #2 Clemson vs #4 Georgetown, and #1 Purdue vs #1 UCONN. Purdue beat Clemson 95-60 in the National Title Game. At least I lost to the eventual champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
