Man I honestly feel like this program is going no where with Mike Jones. I feel that RU should've made a tourney with Price and Green. Heres to hoping for a run starting this week It's hard to judge based off of this season. We had point guard ineligibility issues and so, we were really inexperienced at a key position. When you take into account that our top scorers were a sophomore, red shirt junior, sophomore, junior...It's really hard to win like that. I think we did show something against Liberty in the tournament. Campbell has the 3rd best scorer in the country so, I don't think we were quite ready for that. That being said, Jones needs to have this team in the top 4 of the conference next year.

I give Jones a good grade on the job he has done so far, but I do have some reservations as well. The positive is we have had some huge OOC wins under Jones, probably more against P5 competition than the prior history of Radford Bball combined. We have beaten Oregon St, Va Tech, Georgetown, and Penn St in just the past few years. We have had a couple of 20 win seasons as well, hard to argue with. But my issue comes with the consistency of the team. We have lost some games we frankly have no business losing with the team we have. We have had bad losses to Longwood and Presbyterian at key times when they were at the bottom of the conference and we are looking for a title. We havent done well in the conference tourney under Jones either with similarly bad losses. Bad free throw shooting has been an epidemic. I think Jones has been good for the program and I hope he sticks around. I thought we did ok this year considering. However, with the team we have coming back next year, consistency should get better. I do not want to see the same underachievement as the Price and Green years. We definitely should have won a title with them.
