Terrific interview and analysis. Tim Thompson sure did his homework. Very smooth out of the gate. 18 wins is a successful year
Dunker is right – great job on this podcast. Sounded like pros, both Tim and Chris!
Anything over 16 wins is success in my eyes for the Pios. I think 20 D-I wins may be a bit too optimistic, given how crazy college basketball can be. That said, I’d love to see this program get back to that kind of level. I think Amigo, Mackey and Pemberton will be good senior leaders, and this is Rosga’s team to run. E-Rod will be an exciting addition, and I am looking for Murkey, Akintola and Krafka to take big steps in contribution to replace Bobbitt and then some.
The Summit is still likely a one bid league, and having the league tourney as a virtual home game in Sioux Falls is a huge advantage for SDSU, which also happens to be the team to beat.
Go Pios!
