The justification I heard when the CCAA and BW moved away from weekend games was "we want to be on tv and not compete with the Pac10, etc." Didn't really buy that rationale then, and I certainly don't now when you can stream whatever you want whenever you want.
Weekend travel was certainly less impactful on the STUDENT-athletes.
IMO: overall, the team got really young last year and this year, and I think that is hurting execution. The last time Davis was running so many young players in the line-up was when the twins and Morgan were featured, and I think we all realize how special that was now.
Some relatively balanced scoring, lots of contributions up and down the roster. Jones with another couple blocks (tied for the conference lead in blocks/game!). Sussman was definitely a good get--glad she wanted to do grad school! :smile:
My opinion is that the Davis offense needs really good point play, and the team will be in a "rebuilding" mode until Burns/Baker can run the offense with their eyes closed. Having a comparatively new front court doesn't help, since they won't automatically be in their correct spots.
Mike Ichiyama and Charley Enos both survived and were pretty ok players, and they played when we were up against the cream of DII teams, like, uh, NDSU. :chin:
