For the last 10 years or so, Duke has made it a tradition to play the D-II champions in an exhibition game. That’s been a lot of fun and it’s exposed us to a wonderful program in Northwest Missouri State.
We’ve talked before about how ludicrous it is that no one has made a serious run at Ben McCollum. He’s led NWMS to three national champions in the last five years (remember there was no tournament in 2019-20 due to Covid) and in those four years his record is 159-6.
The man is in Wooden territory. We can’t believe his name never comes up in searches.
