Welage lack of playing time comes down to his lack of physicality. He is 6-6 and needs to play the 3 in our system. If he is going to get extended minutes next year it comes down to can he be an effective rebounder for us at the 3. If we are going to play 4 guards next year (and it is looking more and more likely as the roster gets more set) we need our guards to be able to rebound especially the 3/4 position guards. We know Tanner can rebound if he is playing the 3 or 4 for us next year. Welage needs to be able to as well. Our defense looked much worse than it was last year because our rebounding was way below par for a Nagy coached Wright State team. Even when we played good defense and forced our opponent into a poor shot, we failed to secure the defensive rebound too often. Welage is going to need to step up his commitment to hitting the boards if he wants to play more and I really hope he does. Drey Carter is going to get alot of minutes at the 3/4 next year and he was a good rebounder in high school. I really hope he has been utilizing his red-shirt year in the weight room and is physically ready to step in and contribute. I like this team. I think we can be successful playing small but I'd feel a lot better about next year if we land a portal big with our last scholarship. If you have been paying attention to the HL recruiting this spring, the rest of the conference has done a good job adding some size. I think we are going to need to play 2 bigs at times and we are going to need another big to be able to do that. The Baylor kid might just be the key to a successful year next year.

I'm bummed we didn't get the invite to the MVC but I agree the MVC did us a favor by taking UIC off our hands.

***Beaten dead horse alert*** We have this guy who is a really good 3 pt shooter...actually any point shooter. He plays bad defense. When we start games unable to throw the ball into the ocean, how does this guy not get a few minutes to heat things up? Not ten minutes...call it 5. We can tolerate Voss chucking up three 3s in 6 minutes making NONE...while not getting a single rebound...but the other guy scores three points on one shot in 2 minutes with 2 rebounds and that's all he gets - yes I know it was garbage time - but he puts the ball through the basket...and we struggle big-time, too-often with that aspect. Maybe you should go to the coaches show tomorrow and ask Nagy cause you aren’t going to find a new answer here.

Well, if you want a crazy theory, I got one. Grant and Nagy have both talked about how hard it has been to get decent teams to play us the last few years because they don’t want to play us with Love on our roster. Maybe our staff has known for some time that Lou is coming back but don’t want to play it up until our schedule is complete for next year. That is my conspiracy theory for the day.

I'm wondering when we will find out who is coming back and who is returning next year. Since technically we are still in the running for an NIT invite, my guess is we will find out who enters the transfer portal after the NIT field is announced if we don't get an invite. Anyone have any insight? No idea when we will hear anything but I do expect to hear that we will have some roster turnover this offseason. We have 2 offers out for sure for next year and we keep hearing about transfers our staff has been contacting. Unless someone leaves we only have 1 open scholarship for next year.

We need to put a hurting on UIC. Payback for earlier in the season.
