I'm not going to blame Logan. Nobody could win with the lack of talent on this team.

I'm not going to blame Logan. Nobody could win with the lack of talent on this team. They do have some talent but three or four first year players with some talent are not going to win in the Valley right now. Shamar is good but as a 5-10 guard he is not too difficult to shut down if there is no one else demanding a lot of attention. I agree that we need more talent to surround Blake, Preston, Blaise and Trey with. Obviously it would be nice to have Jawaun, Shamar and Antoine come back. Page is not a bad player. But other than that we need to reload the roster and even those guys are not all guaranteed to be back - so a lot of roster shots to fill with D1 talent to give us the depth that we need to win in the valley.

I guess there are all sorts of stories in the Naked City.

Good analysis. Not that we didn't know it but it still hurts to see the level of Aces 21st Century suckiness. I'm a believer in sports cycles. Time for UE to start changing their fortunes with some good decisions that don't blow up in their face.

Mid-majors are usually going to be around .500. They will go 6-2 in the non-con, split the conference and go 0-3 if they have some road buys. When there is a window for winning, they are often lucky they don't get upset in the semifinals by a team that has a good game amid a mediocre season. This plays out every year and it's why the NCAA tournament deck is blatantly stacked against the mid-majors ever getting more than an hour or two of prime time.
UE has had three chances since 2000 to emerge, which isn't good, but it's right up there with about 85 percent of all middies. The 2015 team was probably NIT worthy. The 2016 team should have gotten a slot in the 64. The 2019 team that McCarty almost managed was 9-4 when he went down. That team was a lot better than it ever showed. Still, it was what it was.
Everything around that has been fairly consistent with programs that have enough to stay in a league, not enough to pull out of it and ... that's mostly where Marty's teams were ... 17 wins and 17 losses, the wins over teams that needed the money.
I don't know that it's fair to evaluate the bulk of mid-major ball beyond that. All metrics point to the same realities.
