Summit vs Great West

Re: Summit vs Great West

I'm not sure that Cordova desrves all of the criticism that he gets on here. I know many think he underperformed due to bing a pre-season second team all conference pick, but personally I think he was was a valuable roll-player that would fit a much needed roll this year.

08-09 29.4 min/g 12 pts 6.7 rebs
09-10 22.2 min/g 8.6 pts 4.9 rebs

Better team depth & injuries were a large part of those numbers being what they are.

In 5 of our 6 league losses, NDSU, @IUPUI, ORU, UMKC, @ORU. We lost in large part to not being able to get rebounds on either end of the court at the end of close games. With more depth in the post it would allow us to go to a 'big' lineup in late game situations to help secure defensive rebounds. Also, we have not had any kind of interior scoring presence to put pressure on opposing bigs to get them in foul trouble. I think if Cordova could have given us even the numbers from his junior year, we win at least two more of those games.

I think it depends on how he is feeling. Last year, he was banged up. Would he come back healthy or not?
AC was 2nd on the team in turnovers last year(Nate- 62) with 55 turnovers. That was 12 more than anybody else on the team. He does have some nice post moves to score down low but I don't feel comfortable with him on the court at the end of close games. He only shot 43% from the FT line. I guess that's better than giving up offensive rebounds but he wasn't on the court at the end of games last year because of that.
He would help some, I just don't know how much.

Well, ours is 319 so we don't have a lot of room to argue.

Of course, we're 18-9 against that weak schedule. They're 12-13.

ORU handily beats Pacific in the ESPN Bracketbuster. That's good for the conference. We are moving up in RPI.

OOC wins are good, no matter who in the conference gets 'em.

Summit League is on the rise. No doubt about it.
