New @LoyolaMBB @CoachJ_Loeffler had great quote in @SlappinGlass pod: “I don’t know if anyone in the country who treats players better than @GoBearcatsMBB @CoachWesMiller and will move mountains in his day to make sure the players are taken care of first. Everything will drop to make sure the players are cared for.” He was Bearcat assistant last year.Comment

Summary (most-interesting BOLDED):Originally posted by GoBearcats31 View Post- Big 12 = toughest league. No nights off. Now 20 league games instead of 18. Several long trips for road games. Quality of league continues to improve
- 5 of top 7 scorers / 75% of scoring returning - Wes hopes the player retention is a positive - may be further along than other programs
- How will this season be different? Faster play. 4 perimeter player lineups almost exclusively. More disruptive defensively. More pressing/extending the defense
- Which returner has made the biggest jump in development since last season? It's not fair to single someone out. Every one of the players has improved. But named Jizzle, Skillings, Reed, Aziz, Simas and one other (couldn't tell who he said)
- Which newcomer will make the biggest impact? "Check with me in December" - but then named Arrinten Page, Dillon Mitchell, and Connor Hickman. Tyler Betsey & Tyler McKinney look like guys that can walk in and play as Freshman
- How deep can they be? How many players can play in a league game? 9-10 would be great
- Looking at returning personnel, what is it like to have more than 5 guys who can start? The entire league can say that - high-level talent everywhere.
- How would you describe the crosstown shootout rivalry? Fans are energized, different type of emotion goes into the game. We haven't had success there since he's been here.
- How do beating X and making the NCAA tourney fit into your long-term goals? He embraces the expectations and focuses on getting better every day
- Non-conference schedule has several quality opponents. In the future, are there things you want to do Non-Conf that you haven't done yet? Wants to be prepared to play the 20 leagues games with no byes - 2/3 games/week for 2.5 months in the best league in America. You better improve in the Non-Conf and become a tight-knit group that can deal with adversity. You can play great basketball and still lose 5-6 in a row.
- Biggest keys to get back to NCAA tourney? Be better in 1 or 2 possession games. Build the right habits in practice.

Per Chad Brendel, it's not related to recruiting. There's an unrelated scheduling conflict.Originally posted by Lobot View PostComment
