A team that knows how to play basketball as a team taking it to a collection of superior athletes that really don't know how to play basketball as a team. The loss to San Diego State has been the best the Birds have looked, including the exhibition.

Fans of what's supposed to be a top-4, and possibly a top-3 team in the Valley expect to lose to a Summit League team? At home?
If that's an expectation of IlSU fans, then I have some good news and some bad news. The good news: IlSU isn't going to have to worry about replacing Muller any time soon. The bad news: IlSU isn't going to have to worry about replacing Muller any time soon.
I'd a lot sooner go through the annual challenge of keeping a coach that P5 conference schools want than go through a perpetual lack of interest by P5 schools.

Our plan is to be so awful on the OOC that we can catch Valley teams looking past us and (hopefully) surprise them.
