It was extremely exciting to hear that EKU would be in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1979! After spending a great deal of time thinking about the tournament, and reviewing EKU strengths and weaknesses I have developed this easy list of five things that EKU needs to do in order to assure a NCAA Tournament Victory;
1. Practice THREES, EKU has to solidify itself from behind the three point line. Without some better three point percentages there is no hope.
2. Keep up the morale, EKU can't get intimidated by the big name competition in the conference. When it boils down to it EKU has the samec chances as everyone else. Its all about playing the best game that you can.
3. Go ahead and start a steroids regiment for everyone associated with the team. Everyone needs to be extremely huge. We can't compete with big school talent without some big school steriods. We even need to give the steriods to our cheerleaders, nothing like some huge harry ass women to add to the intimidation factor. If we start the steriods now everyone can be as cut as the incredible hulk.
4. Its also a good idea to arrange for accidents for the majority of teams you play star players. Random gang related shootings, hit and runs, anything to make sure they won't get to play. If we make these teams play off thier bench we MIGHT have a chance.
5. I hope it doesn't come to this but my gut tells me it will, EKU is probably going to have to kill all of thier competition. Its a harsh reallity but if we want the title and the money, prestige, and coverage of the title we have to get our hands a little dirty.
In conclusion I think that if we follow these easy steps then we will have a really good chance of getting the title. Even if we do lose, we will at least have the rep of being the most hard ass school in the nation.
