Welcome back to Western Illinois’ quest for greatness in College Hoops 2K8. You can find a full explanation of exactly what we’re doing here + spoiler-free links to previous seasons on the About page of this website. Share it with a friend! Here’s everything that happened last season
This team's backcourt rivals the 2014-15 squad (Nelke and Hendricks) as the best in program history. Draughan playing like Pippen, Goode playing like Rodman ... can't wait for Thursday.
If Assel stays after this year and makes two deep tournament runs, he could be in the conversation for the best player in program history. You get the feeling he won't let this team lose.
Seems like a weird (and not realistic) dynamic in the program if you were ranked #15 after the first week conference play and went undefeated... and then somehow dropped to #22 in the rankings.
I am not surprised by this team at all. All of these guys possess years of playing together. Going through the pain of losing in the Final Four will help them through this season. I dare say it feels like this dance can go the distance. Cinderella will not leave the ball early this year! Go Leathernecks!

The first Two Tourney Games show consistency as a team:
Vs Pitt - 95 Points, 37-71 FG, 24 Ast
Vs Gon - 94 Points, 37-70 FG, 26 Ast
(Please don't check my math! Lol)
How are the minutes being split between Goode and Harper at this point, now that both are 91s at PF?
Coach, I'm curious -
1. Who do you consider the 'X' factor on this team?
2. Who is the most underrated?
3. Depth is a strength, but was is this team's biggest weakness?
Loving this series and this season in particular. I'm really looking forward to Thursday's stream.
Go 'Necks!
Who else is left in the field? Cards going for a 3-peat?
