Apr 03 2032: Tournament Season - by grayman on May 31st, 2023

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.
It is a time of victory, it is a time of defeat.
It is a spring of hope, it is a winter of despair.

We have seen the last become first -- #16 Iona defeated #1 La Tech.
We have seen two firsts become last -- Sioux Falls and UNE, both first in their conference, are now the last teams standing.

Nowhere is the duality of the tournament more apparent than at Methodist University. For the third straight year, the Methodist Monarchs have made a deep tourney run. For the straight third year, the Monarchs have been eliminated from a deep tourney run. There is hope in this: after years of mid, we are now a legit contender. There is also despair: much like the C's in the playoffs, we struggle to finish the job.

Tomorrow, the season will end. Tomorrow, a champion will be crowned. Tomorrow, the struggle begins anew.



Mar 20 2031: No More Method to the Madness - by grayman on April 3rd, 2023

Jesus is on our side, but he gets very little playing time.

Due to popular outcry, we will never, not ever, EVER post ANY press releases in the middle of the tournament. Ever again. Only sorrow and pain can come of that. On a semi-related note, Dick Payne had the game of his career.

Best of luck to the Kangaroos, thanks for a fun (if heartbreaking) season finale. Mead is a bucket, should be a tough out.


Mar 15 2031: Method to the Madness - by grayman on April 2nd, 2023

For the second year in a row, Methodist is headed to the Sweet Sixteen.
How did we do it?

We had Jesus on our side. (Also, Bryce Chambers)


Oct 19 2030: Very Good - by grayman on February 17th, 2023

In only his second game at Methodist, Jimmie Good is already in the 30+ points club.

The true freshman dropped 31 on an incredibly efficient 10 of 12 shooting, 4 of 6 from 3pt range. He was also 7/9 from the charity stripe.




Jan 20 2028: We Stink - by grayman on September 27th, 2022

That is all.
