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.
