Re: Cal Poly-Official Game Thread

I hate to say it, but the upper tier teams of the NCC in its hey day would compete in The Summit. The NCC was a premier DII league in its day.

If you are talking about competing for 5th or 6th place than I agree, but if you are thinking compete as in win, you are not giving this league the credit it deserves.

I can list off of a whole host of reasons...

The travel in this league makes the NCC look like a city league.

Last year IUPUI had a player that was drafted in the 1st round of the NBA draft but yet they didn't win the league.

Just look at the athletes that teams like IUPUI and ORU have and have had.

You guys beat Iowa State, IUPUI beat Seton Hall, even cellar dweller UMKC beat a pair of MVC teams. The mid to lower level teams can be sneaky good at times.

Re: Cal Poly-Official Game Thread

The "NCC schools in their heyday were better than the Summit" line is simply bogus. They weren't.

Know why? Most of the time, the NCC BB schools weren't even good enough to win the D-2 national championship. Go look at the stats if you don't believe me.

I too disagree

This is the Summitt, not the ACC

Re: Cal Poly-Official Game Thread

Way I see it is, this team won something like 16 total games over the last two years.

That's a lot of weight for SDSU's juniors to take into any given game, and I don't know that Nagy can do anything to take that weight off their shoulders.

I disagree. Now what? My point is this is argument where neither one of us can win

Re: Cal Poly-Official Game Thread

You mean Marquise Richardson. Q Richardson plays for the New York Knicks! Seriously though, Marquise was a great defender. Remember when he bit Josh Mueller on the thigh at the Dome. That was some of the funniest stuff I ever remember at a Jacks game.

Good times. Mueller changed his shorts on the bench in-front of 9,000 people. That was a great game and one of the loudest games I've ever been to. And you're right, I don't know why I thought of Quentin Richardson haha.

I agree that those were good players. They also played against D11 competition. apples to oranges....

There is a difference between athletic ability and being a good basketball player. Josh Smith is one of the greatest athletes in the NBA. He's tall, quick, lengthy and can jump out of a gym. Larry Bird was slow and couldn't jump high. Who was the better basketball player?

You read the rest of my post, yes?

Re: Cal Poly-Official Game Thread

If 4 or 5 of the best players in SDSU history were playing on the same team, I have a feeling that they would be above .500 and wouldn't constantly "underachieve." I've watched Austin Hansen, Andy Moeller and all those guys on the early 2000's teams. Q Richardson or whatever his name is was one of the best onball defender's I've ever seen. Not to mention all of the guys that played before that.

Athletic ability - - - absolutely, I stand by what I've said.

I completley agree with you.....there is a difference between good players and good teams......we're talking great here, one of the best

And it's not 1-15 or 2-14.........0-16

We just need to be realistic

I'm not saying they are,but how do you know they aren't?
