Basketball Media Day

[SLCBengal]

The coaches and players answered some questions this morning. You can still watch the interviews on-demand via watchbigsky.com.

Kyle Ingram was ISU's player rep, and he'll be playing the 4 (PF) this season. Evans said if he had to pick the starting 5 today, it would be the returning players (Topalovic, Ingram, Chivichyan, Luzcando, and Boyd)...

I did. He said he couldn't remember a lot of the players, and he had to be prompted by the interviewer to discuss different players (such as the players from Spain). He and his player also asked Evans a question toward the end. They asked him what it was like to play basketball when it was first invented. I'm sure they have a good rapport and it was meant to be funnty, but it came across as mean and disrespectful. I didn't like it, especially when this is a conference wide event.

Wondering what's up with Jake McCord? No player info on him in the roster and Coach Evans' comments at Media Day made it sound as if there was something amiss. Any insights? According to several sites, he was an outstanding JC player

I can see him on the roster on the Athletics website.

Thanks bengalcub. Most of that information did not show on my laptop. Ah the joys of technology
