If I had any comment at all....it's that those team all had really great athletes......kids who could dribble, penetrate, fast break, fly & dunk, etc...
but the single most noticable thing about those games was the lack of coaching.
And in some cases, the total lack of any observable game plan combined with street ball caliber selfishness.
Tenn-Chat's Keyron Sheard (18 pts last night, 4 apg) & Stephen McDowell (Tournament MOP, 18.6 ppg) were pretty good players. If either was in the MVC, they'd be among the best. Wonder how these guys slipped to the horrible Southern Conference, both could be very valuable players with a little coaching.
In the Siena game, Kenny Hasbrouck (Tournament MVP) looked great.....as impressive as OE in the MVC Final!
The kid had 19 pts, 6 rebs, 6 asst, and only one turnover....while hobbled with an injury that he wasn't even supposed to play with, and he had 17 pts in the 2nd half!

They also had two big guys that each average about 8 rpg...Ryan Rossiter - a 6-9 kid, had 16 pts, 14 rebs.
Frankly, with the talent I saw, I am surprised those teams are as weak as they are...regularly getting beat by the likes of Rider, Marist, Elon, Georgia Southern, & Wichita State.
