x10. All about Cleveland baby.

In fairness, BG pretty much gave away the outright championship. Pretty sure they had a 2 game lead over Akron with 5 games to go.


As an aside, look who is getting it done in terms of minutes and scoring for the Zippies in 2020:

Jackson - point guard
Cheese - guard
Banks - guard
Williams - SF/PF

Take it farther, look at who is getting it done for BG:

Turner - guard
Frye - guard
Plowden - SF
Diggs - G/SF
Fields - PG


Two different recruiting methods - BG with 4 year players, Akron with transfers - but the consistency is that they're winning primarily with guards and wings that can shoot, handle, defend, and rebound collectively.

For Ohio, the good news is, there are returning players in Preston, BVP, McDay, and Roderick that can be those kinds of players. They just need one more SF/SG type player to be added, or emerge to really take a step forward next year.

Good point - good observation. That's kind of the reason I've been advocating for a transfer with the last scholarship -- to get older and more mature, and balance the classes a little more. As it stands now, there is only going to be one senior on the team - Murrell, plus BVP and Preston. It would be nice to add another Jr/Sr to the roster that can contribute immediately.

So what? The point is we have them both together for 2 more years, and that is awesome.

Me too, three tourney victories and great recruits. Groce was great for us, I believe Boals will be great as well.
