Valley SOS - next season (non-conf.)

[LittleBrave]

This thread seems to be turning into an ISU(red) vs. BU scheduling debate.
I didn't intend for it to go in this direction.
Let's try to keep it about the S.O.S. among all Valley teams based on the R.P.I. #'s that are provided.
Thanks.

Some say..."they need to schedule better like BU....

BU schedules better but can't finish higher then 4th in the conf. and has NEVER won the tourney under Les.

Hmmm.....just how importaint is the scheduling?

Scheduling up HAS landed us 3 invites the Farmers bank EIEIO tourney.

If you understand taking shots at JL then please explain it to me.....no really.

BU clearly schedules better, we're talking about getting into the tournament, BU has gotten into the tournament, ILSU hasn't, especially an at-large, for a very long time.

Explain to me, how the bolded isn't a shot at JL.

Come on DRU, you're better than that. I don't blame you for not liking JL, he has underperformed on the court. I like him, but I don't value winning above all else, it's opinion. One of the area's JL does excel at is scheduling, but you still find a way to take a shot at him. At least own it man.

You couldn't be further from the truth...I like JL, Know him well and appreciate everything he does for BU.

I don't hate anything except losing....as much as I like JL, IMO, he has underperformed He has had some good moments and runs what I feel is as clean a program as you can in the era.

My point is we schedule well but what exactly has it gotten us. 1 NCAA appearance.

ISU has what, 2 NIT's in that same span...OK we have them by 1.

To me we make a big deal about scheduling but its more about winning. Win the conference...win the tourney....

Your not going to see 2006 again where the Valleys 4th place team slides into the NCAA's.

Is it a shot at JL? Is it or is it not a true observation. You may or may not agree with DRU on what the causes are. But he doesn't suggest at any point in his post or anywhere in this thread as best I can tell what the cause of the lack of success is.

He is simply expressing some concern about the practice of scheduling.
