Bear fan who quoted me a couple of times. Thanks for the feedback. If the Bears cannot beat Evansville at home, you do not deserve At Large consideration.
Your comment about high school basketball and D1 basketball indicates you do not understand how a team "forms, storms, and norms" over the course of a season. Regardless of level, all teams go through these phases from preseason, through the season, to post season. Level of basketball is insignificant. It is better to stumble in non conference and peak in conference than too do well in non conference and play poorly in conference play.
Again, the fans of the Shockers, Redbirds, Panthers, and Sycamores were kind in acknowledging that the Aces were playing competitive basketball. Only my Bear friends took the childish and immature approach and belittled my Aces and blamed the referees.
MSU has a good program, solid team, and a Head Coach who will take you to the "Promised Land." Getting to the Promised Land requires you to beat the lowly Evansvillites along the way.
There is no difference between basketball and life. Give both your best and ignore the "fans" on the sideline.
