Bradleyguy10 It's the dogmatic approach you are taking to your answers that I was really going after not the message. Most people outside of the mid-west hardly know about the MVC even Bradley. When they are basketball fans they always say,"Hey they won some games in the NCAA." Nothing more or nothing less. Never have I seen anyone roll their eyes or condemn the team. Yes, I'd prefer UNI's success lately then our one Sweet 16 run but that has nothing to do about a negative perception of that run being lucky. That run was fantastic but like drinking wine, I'd rather drink a few glasses of good wine over dinner then drink just one very expensive and great tasting glass.

So we're on the same page?

I think we are as good of a team as UNI and we have almost everyone back next year...they lose 3 of their 4 best players

Anyone else think now's (well after the season is over) the time for Ben Jacobsen to jump to the next job?

[tornado]

so what team will go after him??
He has no connections to Chicago....and I think Lickliter is probably safe for at least a year...
.....add to that his style of play is booooring...use 30 seconds then try to launch a Farokhmanesh "3"...

I'm pretty sure his record might see him getting interest at some school at "the next level" when the carousel gets fired up.

seriously, does anyone think ben jacobsen is not a good coach?

[thefish7]

I think he's very obviously a good coach.. I'm not sure what his recruiting record shows, and not knowledgeable enough to know if this senior unit is all his kids (I feel like they're carry overs, but not sure).

[tornado]

I think he is a good coach, but anyone looking for a hire will consider this.....

...didn't this very topic start up because we were hinting they will be quite a bit down next year...
it's not like many of those players are his recruits....

They lose 4 of their top 6 players .

I look at UNI as the Florida Marlins of college basketball. They may not get the top star kids from all across the US but they seem to fine those diamond in the rough, home grown players. Almost like they send out flyers inviting farm boys that can play a little hoops LOL.
