As far as the new coach, I am "all out" on him. I'll go on record with that. It seems he cannot recruit any talent (given that the talent he got couldn't even beat a lower division team on talent alone), I think he's not a good coach given how the game went against the D2 team, it's obvious looking at CSU's non conference schedule that he can't schedule any good teams. And he can't motivate given his monotone tone he always talks in every single time I hear him talk on the radio or in person.
Keep in mind, with Dennis Gates, he was thrust into a situation in August, just before school started. He had to throw a team together in a matter of a couple weeks. Coach One Tone was hired in early April and had a full offseason. The best case scenario for this year is he actually recruited 2-3 guys who can play at the D1 level, the team loses 25 games and you go into next year thinking you have a couple good players. That's the best case. I don't even want to think about the worst case.
Can't recruit, can't coach, can't schedule, can't motivate. What are the positives?

Well, not ready to shutdown the team yet. My biggest issue was the scheduling non DI teams. I had rather seen them start with Cinn and get taken to shed, than win D2 games they are suppose to win (what happened here?).
Now the game. I will be looking for signs of life; but, I expect the BearCats to chase the hapless Vikes up I-71 back to Cleveland.
Having said this, there is still hope. I'm still smarting from the beatdown that Ohio gave the Vikes a couple ago. That made the record books and the Vikes still salvaged the season in the HL (what a conference).
Go Vikes!

I’m not good at sarcasm. If he does anything positive I’ll give him credit if it ever happens. If CSU loses by less than 20 tonight it will be a positive.

I agree, this is not looking good, but it can be turned around. No excuse losing to a D2 team.

much better...but we have to find some backcourt scoring. Lowder played well off the bench. Look for his minutes to climb.

Too much Parker for me shooting too much 7-24 1st 2 games he was even 4-13 against BW. I hope new guards can develop take some minutes from him.

I think he's in there b/c of his size and he handles the ball. He makes the play but can't make the shot. He did the same thing last year. I'm still learning the names of the new players. |

I have no problem with this lost and I feel better about the team going forward, if they play that way in the HL they will finish near the top. Lowder will get better as the the season goes on. The Ohio game with a better litmus test for this team. Good game.

“Moral Victory Friday” today. After seeing how they played last night, there should be no excuses to not win vs Ohio if they play with the same passion they can beat Ohio. The first game I will chalk up to first game jitters. It happens even to P5 teams, especially with total revamped roster. |

...This didn't age well. Good to see Coach "one tone" having a first year that has exceeded almost everyone's expectations! Go Vikes!
