Horizon League Tourney Seeding
mudclods:
Well the Horizon League Championship came down to the team that was the most consistently best all season in Oakland and the hottest team in Milwaukee, who had won 6 straight & 8 of 9. It was no surprise the game was basically within 3 points either way much of the game with Oakland pulling away to win by 7 basically in the final minute as it was a 2 point game with under 2 mins to play.
Oakland deserved this as I said was the most consistent team all year. How long has it been since someone won both the regular season & tourney? Oakland always play a tough non conference schedule and are always tough in the regular season, but disappear in the tournament. Hard to believe this is their first NCAA tournament since 2010 before they were in the Horizon.
They are 23-11 but counting league play and the tourney they went 18-5 against Horizon League teams. Their non-conference losses were to Ohio State by 6, Illinois by 11, Drake by 8, Toledo by 1, Michigan St & Dayton. And they beat Xavier

And they had a lot of returning players as well. Not too many Portal players. They are still young too. Going to be tough to keep pace with them next year as well.
Penguin Nick:
I've been depressed for a week now. Did Calhoun have any type of press conference yet? Other than the end of game comments, I haven't seen an interview or read anything in the paper. He talked about this years team from the beginning as if they could walk on water - obviously they sank. I want to hear from him, in his opinion, what went wrong and in the future will he sign so many 1-year and done players. This years team really made me appreciate last years team.
YsuPride:
Milwaukee is returning virtually everyone as well. League will be really strong next year. GreenBay young as well. We were the oldest team in the league by leaps and bounds. Another total rebuild by Calhoun again
YsuPride:
Not another press conference yet.. when are we going to be and wil we accept an invite from a pay to play tournament? Someone in the know will have to let the casual fan know what is going on.
