The key difference may be if we have the ability to get more rebounds and put backs. That can generate quite a bit of offense. This group looks to be better in that regard IMO
That and having Tre King. He has the ability to put the ball on the floor and get his own shot. I like Kunc- but he was strictly a spot-up jump shooter last season.

Really wish he was eligible in the fall semester..

Yeah. We've had our fair share of those kind of transfer's coming in mid-way through the season. I believe Jameel McKay was the last. I'm sure we'll be answering questions on here as to why Tre King isn't playing in late November... lol

But they at least didn’t flame out in first round because they were screwed over by basketball brand, arena type, and a bad draw of a middle of the road A10 team of athletic spiders selected solely by the all powerful evil Jamie Pollard.

No they couldnt even get selected.

Two outright league titles. UNI has had three in the entire history of the program so being the catalyst for two of them is a pretty big deal. Plus, we have no idea how the 2020 tournament would have gone. UNI was one of the first couple in or out.

UNI was not making the tournament in 2020 after a 21 point 1st round loss in the MVC tourney lol

Believe Burton is the most recent to become eligible at semester, but he didn’t play much since that team was already loaded.

Probably not, but it's not uncommon for the Selection Committee to have a surprise inclusion or exclusion or two come Selection Sunday.

Good luck to AJ. According to this list there are 139 U.S. college players in the draft, plus any foreign players so he is going up against 150+ players for one of 60 spots.

He stayed in for a reason. Getting drafted would be a bonus. Either way he will be playing for an NBA team at some point next season.

Yeah, Green was the only reason I was still checking this site. He's added a couple of nice pieces but the 2 Bonnie's didn't even lead their team to the tourney last year and we essentially lost our 4 best offensive players from last year.

I guess we'll find out in November.
Drawing a bit of a blank.
Lost our 4 best offensive players?
I can accept 2 - Brockington and Hunter.
Who are the next two best we lost?

Does Europe ball pay a $200,000/yr? If so that's good money for doing something you enjoy.
