The storybook ending would be to upset UNC and Justin Pierce in the 1st round.

Wow, yeah!! That would truly be the classic case of cosmic karma !!!!

If that impossible scenario played out in Dane's 1st year as coach, I'd be 1st in line checkbook in hand to erect him a statue.

I'd join you in writing a check to honor Coach Fischer, should that scenario play out, but let's find a better way than erecting a statue on campus.

Today's Dane Fischer could become tomorrow's Thomas Jefferson. 03-banghead
Nope, nothing short of a statue of Dane Fischer riding a rearing Griffon erected in front of Kaplan Arena at the newly constructed Dane Dome.

Mr. J is on fire today!! Dane Dome! 03-lmfao

That theory definitely has the ring of truth to it!

IMO, the only definite starters are
1 - Barnes
2
3
4 - Van Vliet
5 - Knight

I think the other 2 guard spots will fluctuate and go to whoever is hot, plays defense, and/or rebounds. I expect someone to step up.

I was going to say that I'd be surprised if anyone other than Loewe is the starting PG, but I think it's better to say that only 4 & 5 are set. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Barnes and Loewe, but I have no earthly idea how they'd play together.

RE: 2019-2020 MBB Season
I still don't get the Barnes hype. He started about half the time on a bad team and his stat line was something like 6.1/2.5/2.8. He shot 35% from the floor. I guess he's short and fast. Something tells me that Loewe is going to be a captain this year and that he will fit into the mold that Fischer wants.

Based on the "In the Locker" (or whatever it's called) segments, I am also thinking Barnes at PG with Thornton moving over to a SG role. Players have said he has the best shot on the team but have praised Barnes's quickness and athleticism. It's been all new players so far and I have to figure they're just going off what they've seen in practice.

RE: 2019-2020 MBB Season
I had PG as a contested spot. It will be telling to see if Fischer goes with a new player who might be more the style of PG he likes or sticks with the current incumbents.

In other words, does he go straight to the style he wants to play or does he adjust to the skill sets of the returning players. Granted, the attrition level has made this question somewhat moot.

I don't think the depth exists for this but one could argue for a big front court. Van Vliet is built for a 5 but evidently has the skills and mind set of a 3. Knight seems to want to play the 4. Harvey's natural position is a 5.

I don't think this would happen nor should it but it's interesting to think about. It does put three of our athletes on the floor at one time.

Would love to have gotten to watch 7ft AVV playing IM soccer and winning the championship :). Just loft the ball into the box and let AVV win the header :).

Tyler Hamilton back home this weekend to watch his younger brother, Kyle, take on Georgia, as a freshman free safety for Notre Dame.
Really good article with Tyler.

I like the new unis. Assuming that's just a practice jersey, since reversible.

The new logos grown on me a lot, but think it's a little too vertical to work in that spot.
