I don't know how it is that Valpo can't seem to win the games that are so important that they virtually have true meaning to how fans follow them. Tonight they once again lose a key conference to IUPUI 75-67. With this loss, they have cemented that they will not win the conference regular season title. It's always inevitable that they will lose at least one important game, but this year, they've lost 5 games in conference.
I dont' know if that has anything to do with the loss of Kenny Harris in April, the NCAA toying with the new center Mo Kone, or if this team is just being recruited wrong and so the hopes and expectations for the season are dashed like all the fans are cheering on the college basketball version of the Chicago Cubs. I've just about had it with getting my hopes up about a good game with this team. I've even said they will lose in the conference tournament semifinals...maybe it's time to retract that and say they won't get past the quarterfinals this year either?
After tonight, not one person on this season's team is worthy of a job as a professional basketball player. They might be ok as high school or junior high coaches, but none of these guys can make even a pro practice squad.
I hope they show some improvement on Saturday against Western Illinois, but I'm not holding out alot of hope. At least now I have the Fighting Illini to keep rooting on to do well in the NCAA tourney. Probably not going as far as last season, but they'll make some noise.
I'll write more later as I think of other things with this team that angers me.
