UDM had only 8 players on their active roster but never seemed to fade at the end.
I think even Barnes might concede disappointment. I predicted another WNIT invite and Barnes leaving/upgrading after this season, but there has been regression from last year. It's a young team that is 3/4 Frosh or Sophomores...so the future is very bright....but Barnes had two seasons to prepare for Schleigel's (a Bolden recruit) departure. Barnes just isn't filling Bolden's shoes, who took a winless program to the WNIT 3 years later.....and now has OU 35th in RPI.
As far as the MBB program goes.....JS got win #700....the team is improved......a good way to end his career at YSU.
