Get used to it: Predictable coverage of MU b-ball

Despite the annoyances of certain message board members (or...should I write...annoyances...of certain...) I get more information from the MU message boards than from any journalistic enterprise. Rosiak at the JS is good, but he basically just relays and confirms information. There is never ANY in-depth discussion of rotations, break-down of plays (HELLO DJ's three at Valpo), or really in-depth breakdowns of opposing teams.

And to think, he's the best.

MU is returning it's top 8 players from last year, so expect more of the same lazy journalism from those across the nation. It's already starting. Andy Katz on MU's team this year:

James' return means the Eagles' four guards -- James, Jerel McNeal, Wesley Matthews and David Cubillan -- are all back to cause havoc in the league. The key will be the continued development of forwards Ousmane Barro, Dan Fitzgerald and Lazar Hayward.

...With a loaded slate of home games the Eagles look ready to repeat last season's success and weakness -- tough to guard off the dribble and able to defend, but still looking for that consistent play in the post.

You mean to say MU will have good guards with questionable play in the post???

YAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Be prepared to see that same article re-written about 500 times this year. But don't worry, I'll be spending an inordinate amount of time discussing each minute aspect of the game. The way it should be.
