6/25: 4-3, 3.5-5, 3-4, 2-1.
#19 in the preseason polls.
I think my all walk on team can compete. Going for it! BUT, we have exactly one non-senior on the roster, which is not good in the long term, if this dynasty were to have a long term.
9/18: Preseason NIT. Hoping for one win but…
10/2: 1st day of practice. Looks like we have some talent.
11/6: I was pleased with how we looked in the exhibition games. 7 man rotation.
At guard Dean Book is our PG with Ban Snow, and soph Roy Vine, our only non-senior sharing SG and back up PG minutes.
Bo Crow will start at SF and play some PF. Lane Ware will get almost half of the SF minutes.
Inside Al Jeff and Day Drey will start with Crow backing up.
Picked to finish 9th in Conf. B. I think we’ll do much better, maybe good enough to move up to Conf. A.
11/20: 2-1, #13. We made it to the semifinals of the Coaches Classic and lost by only 5 there.
65-53 over #25 Utah. 13, 11 for C/PF Day Drey. +12 RBs.
Then 97-87 over #9 Arizona. 29, 9, 2 for SF Lane Ware, 24, 2, 3 for PG Dean Book.
84-89 to Washington in the semis. Outside D did us in. They hit 13 threes. 17, 9 for Drey, 19 for sub guard Roy Vine who had 3 good games. 15 for Ware.
A couple of lineup tweaks, mostly more minutes for Lane Ware.
11/27: A 2-0 week. We’re 4-1, #9, RPI #16.
23, 4, 5, 3 for Book, 18 for sub guard Troy Vine, +7 RBs, +7 TOs in the road game.
20 for Vine, who will now start, 13, 2, 6, 2 for Book, +10 TOs, in the home game.
12/4: 2-0, 6-1, #9, RPI #11.
18 point road win. 23, 6 for Drey, 17, 3 for Vine. +10 TOs.
25 point home win. 24, 4, 3, 2 for Vine, 19 with 6 assists for Book. +8 RBs.
12/11: 2-0, 8-1, #8, RPI #4 (WAY higher than it should be).
10 point win at Drake. 17, 8 for Drey, 19 for Vine, 13, 9, 2, 2 for PF Al Jeff.
14 point home win. 28, 4, 3 for Vine, 15, 3, 10 for Book. +14 TOs.
12/25: 2-1, #10, RPI #18.
Beat Memphis here, 66-52. 22, 5, 2, 2 for Vine, 14, 4, 5, 5 for Book.
Lost by 10 at Hofstra. 16 each for Vine and Ware, +9 RBs, but we didn’t shoot or defend well.
6 point win here over Wisc.-GB. Good team effort, +8 RBs.
1/1/2018: All 5 in double figures in a 24 point home win.
We finish pre-conf. play at 11-2, #10, RPI #18. +12.1 PPGs, +4.2 RBs, +4.3 TOs.
