Bowen's WKU Bio

Young guy coming off of a great success at Kansas then going to WKU... What heppened there? Why did he go to WKU?

All in all I like the hire, he looks like a solid college coach with experience designing defenses against some of the best in the business up there in the Big 12!

another thread mentioned that bowen was one of three coaches held onto after mangino was fired. gill came in and ended up cleaning house. there wasn't much left out there other than some bcs conference secondary coaching spots and he wanted to be a dc, therefore, he ended up in wky.

I am pi$$ed at you guys for this one. Congratulations though, you got a really good one.

Quite the coaching staff you are putting together indeed.

Sorry HillTopper...I can honestly say that since both teams have resided at the bottom of the SBC for 3 yrs that I have always pulled for WKU to start a turnaround. I kept track of you guys last year and almost felt proud of you guys when you were playing. It remains to be seen but I can imagine that WKU's loss will be a huge gain for the Mean Green.

At first glance, I thought we could do better on this hire, but I decided to do a little research before getting on here and throwing a fit. I'm glad I did. Yes, WKU's record last season was bad, and their defense gave up lots of points, but they did make great improvements. Under Bowen, WKU ranked better then North Texas in several defensive categories. Not bad for his first year at the school. With his Big 12 experience, and knowledge of recruiting the midwest, he should be great for us.

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
