So the Blers choked?
badly. They didn't score for something like 7 minutes at the end of regulation. It was an almost unlosable game. Despite all of that, they should have won in OT.
I have a hard time even talking about it. All four top seeds lost yesterday. The NCAA was right there for them.
Young coaching definitely into play. Valentine still has plenty of growing to do. Players choked on it though.
The lose a lot this year. They also bring a lot back and had probably the best recruiting year in their history. They absolutely must insure that Miles Rubin returns. The future still looks good.
There is a better chance he already has his next deal line up. SIU looked to have a good team returning and got gutted in the portal last year. The new era of NIL is just turning mid major teams into farm systems.
