GoRed-

I respectfully disagree, it is important if used right to get you ready to play teams you play in your conference (same style of play). It only matters to the one or two teams that MAY get a Pool C bid...but the thing that gets most teams in the tourney is conference play. Apparently being 0-9 outside of the conference doesn't hurt Denison's psyche because again they are 3-2 in the conference and tied for 3rd place.

Hey guys...first time posting but I have been looking at the boards a long time.

GoRed-I am just wondering why having a 3-2 conference record and being tied for third right now is a reason to call for a struggle to get the 8th seed? Who cares what happened during the non-conference schedule, what matters now is what you have been doing in conference. And with the exception of the last game, Denison has looked good in the conference. I'm just saying that it seems a little early to start to panic this year, given the position you are in now. As far as Coach Ghiloni goes he seems like a good coach to me. He always has his teams ready to play no matter who they are playing. And I am assuming that you are saying he doesnt recruit by saying "This dog dont hunt." But you also say there have been plenty of people come through the program who could have helped the team...so who is getting them there if the DU staff isn't recruiting? If you have this much of a problem with the men's team then maybe you should go cheer for the women...they are pretty good from what I hear.
