CUSA needs Bassey to have a big year

The attention Ja Morant brought the Ohio Valley Conference in 2019 was amazing - allowing the conference a 2nd bid when Murray State landed an at-large spot (Belmont winning the tourney).

CUSA member schools haven't had a player drafted into the NBA since Tony Mitchell in 2013 (and we weren't yet CUSA then).  The most recent player drafted after playing CUSA ball was Will Barton (Memphis) in 2012.

The ideal story for the NT season is WKU to post a gaudy record, Bassey to grab headlines, NT win the CUSA tourney, and WKU get in as an at-large.

Good honor for Bassey, WKU and the conference.

WKU has four starters returning with all averaging over 12 points per game. 

They are going to be ultra tough, but they didn't exactly run over NT last year. 

 

We had a load of returners last year, all with good scoring averages.  Just sayin'.

Yes, and would have 4 that averaged double figures this year if they didn't lose Woolridge.  However, I don't remember any first team All Americans in that group.
