  • The best player in the country you haven’t seen is Bennett Stirtz.  19 points per game and a knack for making a huge play whenever they need one.  Kid has the guts of a cat burglar.


  • The best coach in the country you haven’t seen is Ben McCollum.  He has won four Division Two national championships since 2017. In his first year as a Division One coach, his team is 30 and 3 with 4 wins against power conference teams. 

     

  • I think it was William Shakespeare who once said “Defense wins championships”.  In the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, the highest point total they gave up in 3 games was 53.  They held the normally potent Bradley offense to 48 in the final.


  • They are short.  Not usually a good thing in a sport where players regularly consume pituitary glands for breakfast.  But, in a land of gawky seven foot manchildren, a team of hard-charging, fleet-footed, glass-crashing, laser-beam shooting guards are a matchup nightmare.


  • Kendrick Lamar’s head would explode.
