Thank God Mooring is a Senior

Just not intelligent basketball play. That last shot was the dumbest shot I have ever seen in a basketball game.

Huh? Are you surprised? It ended the Air Force regulation, too. And Arizona regulation. And a couple of others. Why it’s allowed, I don’t know. He’s capable but it’s a low percentage shot.

Oh I know but that was icing on the cake on his way out the door. Next year will say alot about Menzies and if he is the right fit or not. He went from 11 to 20 wins so there was improvement...so next year i expect top 4 of mountain west and 23 to 25 wins...having to keep moving up..no way can we go backwards anymore

23 to 25 wins is simple.

Schedule 14 teams that are expected to finish below .500. Then win 9 in conference.

That still doesn’t make a masterpiece.

I’m not for that “20 wins” benchmark. The schedule was garbage

 

[Vegas007]

Next step up is a winning record in conference play and not getting swept as much. The team is 6-0 against the bottom 3 teams in the conference and 3-11 against the other teams.

Even 11-7 in regular season conference play is a big improvement. 12-6 or better would be pretty good and give us a good shot at the NCAA Tournament. Either record would be the best the team has done in years.

Of course it was. 33 games. 17 were against teams that finished below .500, garbage teams. That in itself should be 17 wins but it was 14.

The watered down schedule gifted the Rebels 20 without batting an eye.

I can't imagine there ever being a time in basketball where a player's last play as a college player so perfectly summed up his career. That last play against UNR is Jovan Mooring.

Jovan is a goid guy and a good player. He just wasn’t here during the right era. He is a Rebel. He should be treated as such.

Exactly!

JoJo played with heart. I can't remember a player who would willing give up his body for charges as much in a Rebel uniform, and being one of our "scorers" to boot.

He was a gambler offensively and defensively. It can drive you crazy sometimes.

But he had some really good moments. Thanks for being a Rebel and your heart JoJo.
