Missouri State blasts Murray State 60 to 35 in the Missouri Valley Tournament. The Racers finish at 12-20 and their season is over. It really looks as though both Murray State and Louisville are in conferences where they are overmatched. Louisville should be competing with Cincinnati and Memphis. Murray State should be competing with Morehead State and Eastern.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't do well in your conference, you can't get into the NCAA's, and if you can't get into the NCAA's, you can't recruit well.
ReplyDeleteMurray State is at 161 on Ken Pom. That's actually an improvement from last year, when they finished at 229. But last year, they went 17-15 (and ranked 15th in luck), and this year they went 12-20 (and ranked 358th in luck). So this year feels worse.
