...as I was a couple years ago, but I don't give a flying....
A good friend of mine is close buddies with a well-known D2 coach on the east side of the state. This coach's brother is a Mizzou sharpshooting legend. Enough hints.
He was in said coach's office back in mid February 2019 when NWMO was plowing through their undefeated season. Coach "S" showed him a weekly newsletter that all coaches receive. This newsletter ranks all the NCAA basketball teams each week, irrespective of division. The current issue he viewed had NWMO ranked #53 in the nation, and #1 in the state of Missouri.
I know some wiseacre will call BS on me, but I don't care. I only post this to solidify the notion of a strong, fundamentally sound D2 team defeating a struggling D1 program is in no way a stretch....
