It definitely hurt that we had a walk-on freshman starting and that our top two recruits were suspended due to academics to start the season. Things weren't too bad to start the season but we got on long losing streaks where we just looked totally inept at scoring which is something that doesn't surprise me given the lack of developed talent on the team.

This is definitely the best team we have fielded as far as talent goes. The little "indicators" that are colored next to each player's name showing their current and potential ability have always been red for current for every single player we have had. Only Nickolas Toy and Virgil Yager have had potential higher than orange (both have yellow). This season though we have four players who are Orange and I'm hoping that it will show in the final results. Our defense should be about the same but our offensive ability should be improving a lot. In he past our "Pace" has always been 0 or 1 but this year it is up to 7 as we finally have the pieces to have a little faith in our offense and not just to grind out a low scoring win. I know I am probably just being overly optimistic since I said this last season but I am very excited for this season.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this was a blowout but we looked a lot better than last season. Celso Sanz left with patellar tendinitis and will miss 26 days, him being gone hurt. The difference in this game was UMass Lowell hitting 6 threes and us making zero. Robert Smith had 13 points and 2 rebounds. Douglas Arguello had 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Chung McLin had 4 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists. Mark Gagne had 5 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists. All four of those were players having their debut. We also had 8 steals including 4 by Mark Gagne. The bench had 21 points in this one showing how much they have improved.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">November 19, 1940</span></p><p> </p><p> Abilene Christian (0-1) vs. North Dakota (0-1)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Abilene Christian - 59, North Dakota - 76. At halftime we had committed 9 turnovers and North Dakota had committed zero. Thankfully we were only down 33-30 at the half after that turnover ratio. Again we looked really good in this one but in the second half North Dakota was in the bonus under 5 minutes in and took 32 free throws. They only made 18 of them otherwise this could have been a much bigger deficit. The turnover margin really killed us in this one. Chung McLin had 19 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists. Virgil Yager had 10 points and 8 rebounds. The bench had 10 points in this one highlighted by 8 from Mark Gagne.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">November 23, 1940</span></p><p> </p><p> Abilene Christian (0-2) vs. UT-Rio Grande Valley (0-1)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Abilene Christian - 57, UT-Rio Grande Valley - 60. We looked a lot better than our opposition in this one but the fouls and free throw disparity really hurt us again. Robert Smith had 15 points and 5 rebounds while Douglas Arguello and Chung McLin each had 10 points. The starting lineup and our 6th man combined for 23 fouls. </p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">November 26, 1940</span></p><p> </p><p> Grand Canyon (0-4) vs. Abilene Christian (0-3)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Grand Canyon - 59, Abilene Christian - 69. We only committed 6 turnovers in this one and we hit 9 threes! Chung McLin had 18 points and 6 assists (which ties for the most in program history). Robert Smith had 13 points and 5 rebounds and Virgil Yager had 10 rebounds. The bench had 17 points headlined by 10 from Nickolas Toy. This is the Abilene Christian team I am envisioning for our future. This season may have its ups and downs due to the inexperience of the underclassmen but I have faith in these players.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">November 30, 1940</span></p><p> </p><p> Northern Kentucky (0-1) vs. Abilene Christian (1-3)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Northern Kentucky - 65, Abilene Christian - 57.

There were a few big upsets in the first round as 13 seed Bowling Green beat 4 seed UNLV, 12 seed Cal State Northridge beat 5 seed Miami, and 11 seed Drake beat 6 seed Illinois. The Bowling Green magic continued in the 2nd round as they beat Cal State Northridge to advance to the Sweet 16 where they lost to 1 seed Wisconsin. 7 seed St. Joseph's was able to knock out 2 seed Arkansas in the 2nd round. Ultimately 3 seed Stanford beat Wisconsin to punch their ticket to the final four!</p><p> </p><p> <a href="<a href="https://imgur.com/wi5oKSo" rel="external nofollow">https://imgur.com/wi5oKSo"><img</a> src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wi5oKSol.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/wi5oKSol.png"</a> title="source: imgur.com" /></a></p><p> </p><p> Next is the Midwest Region. This one only had one first round upset with 12 seed Pacific beating 5 seed Northern Iowa. In the 2nd round though 8 seed Syracuse took down 1 seed Michigan State but lost to 4 seed New Mexico in the Sweet 16. Ultimately 2 seed Arizona beat New Mexico to advance to the final four.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="<a href="https://imgur.com/TmTSzBf" rel="external nofollow">https://imgur.com/TmTSzBf"><img</a> src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/TmTSzBfl.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/TmTSzBfl.png"</a> title="source: imgur.com" /></a></p><p> </p><p> Now the South Region. 1 seed Florida barely pulled off a 5 point victory over 16 seed Howard. Our conference representative Stephen F. Austin lost as a 13 seed to Temple by 23. This first round was very tame and the 2nd round only saw 6 seed Tennessee beat 3 seed Oregon. 1 seed Florida beat Tennessee to advance to the Final Four.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="<a href="https://imgur.com/rsNM0Wq" rel="external nofollow">https://imgur.com/rsNM0Wq"><img</a> src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/rsNM0Wql.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/rsNM0Wql.png"</a> title="source: imgur.com" /></a></p><p> </p><p> Last up is the East Region. The only first round upset was 10 seed Rider beating 7 seed Tulsa. Rider then lost to 2 seed Kentucky by 6. 6 seed Creighton took down 3 seed Siena and then 2 seed Kentucky while 5 seed Dayton beat 1 seed Connecticut for our Elite Eight matchup. Creighton won that one by 3 to advance to the Final Four!</p><p> </p><p> <a href="<a href="https://imgur.com/7b3sEII" rel="external nofollow">https://imgur.com/7b3sEII"><img</a> src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/7b3sEIIl.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/7b3sEIIl.png"</a> title="source: imgur.com" /></a></p><p> </p><p> Florida beat Stanford in the first semifinal by 2 points, and Arizona beat Creighton in the other by 3 points.

Gaudette was a grad transfer from Quinnipiac who in his short time at Abilene Christian appeared in 29 games (6 starts) and averaged 2.8 PPG and 2.1 RPG. His career highs were 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. I know his numbers are unspectacular but I actually expected even less of him as a late grad transfer so I was happy with his performance here.</p><p> </p><p> </p><pre class="ipsCode"> #11 C John Gaudette - Abilene Christian - Senior -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Height: 6-10 Weight: 236 High School: Avon Grove High School Hometown: West Grove, PA Attributes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type INS JPS FTS 3PS HND PAS ORB DRB PSD PRD STL BLK QKN STR JMP STA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: 49 7 42 15 21 24 27 23 13 22 31 16 31 76 35 39 1939: 48 7 42 15 20 23 26 22 13 22 31 16 30 73 34 33 1938: 46 7 42 15 19 22 25 21 12 21 30 15 29 69 33 26 1937: 45 7 41 15 18 21 24 20 11 20 29 14 27 65 33 19 Potential: C F C F D D D D F D D D Health: Good Scholarship: Yes Status: Active Roster Academics: 31 Stat Averages: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season G GS MIN PTS ORE REB AST TO A/T STL BLK PF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1938 3 0 3.0 0.7 0.3 1.3 0.0 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.0 0.7 1940 29 6 12.7 2.8 0.6 2.1 0.2 0.5 0.47 0.3 0.1 1.8 Career 32 6 11.8 2.6 0.6 2.1 0.2 0.5 0.47 0.3 0.1 1.7 Shooting Averages: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season FGM FGA FG% FTM FTA FT% 3PM 3PA 3P% PPS +/- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1938 0.0 1.0 .000 0.7 0.7 1.000 0.0 0.3 .000 0.67 -4.00 1940 1.1 2.4 .471 0.5 0.8 .625 0.0 0.3 .125 1.17 -2.48 Career 1.0 2.3 .452 0.5 0.8 .654 0.0 0.3 .111 1.15 -2.63 Stat Totals: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season G GS MIN PTS OREB REB AST TO STL BLK PF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1938 3 0 9 2 1 4 0 0 0 0 2 1940 29 6 367 82 17 62 7 15 10 2 53 Career 32 6 376 84 18 66 7 15 10 2 55 Shooting Totals -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season FGM FGA FTM FTA 3PM 3PA +/- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1938 0 3 2 2 0 1 -12 1940 33 70 15 24 1 8 -72 Career 33 73 17 26 1 9 -84 Career Highs: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type Pts OReb Reb Ast Stl Blk TO FGM FGA FTM FTA 3PM 3PA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season 8 3 7 3 3 1 2 4 6 3 4 1 2 Career 8 3 7 3 3 1 2 4 6 3 4 1 2 Awards & Acheivements: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season Award -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1939 Transfered from Quinnipiac </pre><div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Our next senior is SF John Kirkpatrick from Fort Worth, Texas.

We made some strides as I noted early but ultimately it was our ugly away performances that cost us dearly. I can't complain about a 7-6 home record when our away record was 2-14. This may be attributed to the young team and should be something we can fix moving forward. One thing to remember is that this season our 6 best players were all freshmen and sophomores. We increased our conference record from 5-13 to 6-12 and were again able to avoid last place (which right now is our Athletic Director's only goal - showing how far we have to go). I know anybody reading would be able to tell I obviously got frustrated during this season with our results and I'm hoping to see some big improvements next year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><pre class="ipsCode"> Current Performance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Prestige: 2 Record Vs 1-50: 0-0 Poll Rank: NR Season Record: 9-20 Record Vs 51-100: 0-0 RPI Rank: #351 Conference Record: 6-12 Record Vs 101-200: 1-3 Home Record: 7-6 Record Vs 200+: 8-17 Team Stats CR NR Opp. Stats CR NR Margin CR NR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Points 62.8 11 297 Points 68.4 6 170 Points -5.7 9 282 O.Reb 9.3 13 308 O.Reb 12.5 8 307 O.Reb -3.1 12 333 D.Reb 23.8 11 289 D.Reb 26.2 10 251 D.Reb -2.4 11 314 Rebounds 33.1 12 315 Rebounds 38.7 9 296 Rebounds -5.5 11 338 Assists 10.4 12 322 Assists 11.1 2 7 Assists -0.7 9 201 Steals 5.1 8 223 Steals 5.2 3 87 Steals -0.1 7 171 Blocks 1.8 11 319 Blocks 2.1 1 13 Blocks -0.3 7 194 Turnovers 13.8 8 173 Turnovers 13.0 9 243 Turnovers 0.8 8 233 Fouls 22.8 12 349 Fouls 17.8 13 306 Fouls 5.0 13 351 FG% .416 10 241 FG% .425 6 137 FG% -.009 8 198 FT% .660 7 221 FT% .686 13 283 FT% -.027 8 270 3P% .326 6 190 3P% .268 1 2 3P% .058 2 22 PPS 1.16 11 294 PPS 1.27 10 271 PPS -.115 11 312 Adj.

I also didn't like the idea of having 5 scholarship players all in one year so wanted to mitigate some of that. </p><p> </p><p> Tony Murray is a defense first big and Joshua Gonzalez is an inside scorer who is not a great defender. He may not end up playing that much due to his defense but the guy can score from the inside. Larry Harris is a graduate transfer who is decent offensively but probably won't see much time. </p><p> </p><p> Last year our recruiting class was fourth in the conference and #147 overall. This year we were dead last in the conference and #340 overall. I took a risk by going after bigger names and it didn't pay off. Thankfully we really will only end up with two freshmen this year on scholarship.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is bad because we will be relying on underclassmen, but it also is good because it means that the 4 players we use those scholarships on next year will all be long term upgrades. I will make sure of that as I am not in the business of wasting any scholarships on freshmen. As I have shown in this offseason and last I would rather use scholarships on JC players and grad transfers for a year or two that can be helpful than have 3-4 scholarships go to freshmen that have absolutely zero potential.</p><p> </p><p> Here is our call list for the season:</p><p> </p><p> </p><pre class="ipsCode"> Name Pos Ht Wt Rating Interest State -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gil Morales SG 6-5 197 *** Very High Texas Joe Jacobs PF 6-5 222 *** Very High Texas Joseph Hill SG 6-2 179 *** Very High Texas Shayne Neal SF 6-5 203 ** Very High Texas Sancho Pastor SF 6-7 214 ** Very High Texas Chris Wallace C 6-11 262 * Very High Texas Jerome Orta SF 6-7 254 * Very High Texas Nicolas Goodson SF 6-8 216 * Very High Texas Charles Stout C 6-10 223 *** High Texas Justin Pate SG 6-6 191 *** High Texas Gregory Cox C 6-10 267 ** High Texas Joseph Gillespie C 6-9 232 ** High Oklahoma Shawn Counts SF 6-4 199 ** High New Mexico Andrew Jones C 6-7 241 * High Colorado Winston Batten SG 6-1 180 * High Illinois Gregory Daves C 6-10 232 * High Texas Justin King SG 6-5 193 * High Texas Jerome Miele C 6-11 226 * High Texas Elijah Saez C 7-6 204 * High Texas Jed Carrillo SG 6-2 188 * High Arkansas</pre><div></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Our team needs are definitely big men as well as SF so it is nice to see that there are a good amount of those that are interested in us. We are going to be making a hard push for these guys and instead of trying for the guys with average interest and losing out on them as well as the better guys with high interest we are going to be going after these players. We can't afford a flop of a recruiting class this year (which is what I ultimately feel our last class was). We have 4 scholarships available and I am hoping we can use them wisely. A few of these are JC players but that is not by design and is simply because they may be the best options available to us.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have failed to realize that even though we have gotten better the teams around us have gotten better as well. Robert Smith had 25 points and Virgil Yager had 11 before leaving with a pulled groin which will cause him to be day-to-day. Mark Gagne left with a sprained wrist and will be out for around 9 days. Douglas Arguello came up huge off the bench with a double-double! He had 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists. 7 of his rebounds were on the offensive glass.

Robert Smith had 15 points with 6 rebounds but the real star was Mark Gagne with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Douglas Arguello gave us 5 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. We had 14 offensive rebounds in this one and we were able to win despite going 1-13 from 3 and only 8 assists (to their 11). We were +6 in the turnover margin (9 to 15) and pulled out a big win on the road.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">December 5, 1941</span></p><p> </p><p> Abilene Christian (2-3) vs. Grambling State (1-4)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Abilene Christian - 64, Grambling State - 63. With 30 seconds left and a 1 point lead Mark Gagne missed both free throws after a foul but got the rebound. Then before he could be fouled again Virgil Yager was called for an illegal screen. It looked like we had thrown the win away but Grambling State was unable to get a shot off so we preserved our lead that we worked so hard to throw away. We were called for 16 first half fouls which put us in a lot of trouble and a big deficit early and is the only reason that one was even close to begin with. Chung McLin had 15 points and both Robert Smith and Mark Gagne had 9 points. We allowed 14 offensive rebounds in this one including a lot in the final few minutes that allowed Grambling State to comeback. We were -2 in turnover differential (15 to 13) despite having 8 steals to their 3. We were turning the ball over often in this one and it made it hard to get momentum. Nevertheless we were able to still win the game and get our 2nd road win of the season. We still are not a great team but I think it is clear that we are much improved as last season we didn't get our 2nd road win until February, 21 games into the season. Hopefully we can get at least one more by then.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">December 9, 1941</span></p><p> </p><p> Campbell (0-6) vs. Abilene Christian (3-3)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Campbell - 69, Abilene Christian - 77. We were +5 in the turnover margin (16 to 21) and this one was only close due to us letting a 19 point lead with 9 minutes left turn into a 6 point lead with 2 minutes left. We went 12-24 from the free throw line this game including missing the front end of six one-and-one's. Robert Smith had 19 points and 5 rebounds and Chung McLin had 17 points and 5 rebounds. Smith went 8-15 from the floor and McLin went 7-20 so although they scored a lot they were inefficient. Virgil Yager had 12 rebounds in this one and we have what I believe is our first ever winning record! </p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">December 15, 1941</span></p><p> </p><p> Abilene Christian (4-3) vs. Mississippi Valley State (0-6)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Abilene Christian - 69, Mississippi Valley State - 64.

We let up 13 offensive rebounds in this one which was a big part of their comeback. We were -2 in turnover differential (12 to 10). </p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">December 18, 1941</span></p><p> </p><p> Abilene Christian (5-3) vs. Dartmouth (2-6)</p><p> </p><p> Final Score: Abilene Christian - 71, Dartmouth - 70.
