btownqb Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Loyer won a bad sectional. And neither could win the north.. which wasn't half as stacked as the south. Not that the south in 4A is good.. that's just the side of the state where more Indy schools are forced to play in the tourney. Anyways... Cathedral beat 9, 17, 22, 4, 29, 10, and 7 in the Sag to win a state title. Winning sectional 10 should carry serious weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d maybe even put Essegian over Comer. If Smith would have advanced deeper in the tourney or played a full season.. I would probably have him there. You do realize Comer won City POY in Indy, right? Essegian might not have been on an All City team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard multiple people say that his sectional performance likely won it for him. That could be fair. I love his game, I've stated that multiple times.

btownqb Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 This is all simply my opinion.. I'm not an expert on any of them. The kid from Central Noble played the 189th ranked schedule in the state and was beaten by thoroughly by a good, but not fantastic Providence team. To have him over the Indy City POY and 4A state champ? Ok then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homestead, Cathedral, Central Noble and Westfield all won a ton of games though. I strongly agree that of the four, Cathedral had the best team, the most talent. Because of that, Comer benefitted. Take him off Cathedral and you wouldn’t see as big of a drop off as you would with either Homestead or CN. Don’t know enough about Westfield to comment on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About importance to his team. I'm sorry, but CE is a fair amount below the 3 we are discussing in terms of Indiana Mr Basketball. Level of competition with other qualified candidates, to me, puts him at 4. Westfield and Cathedral play unreal competition and Homesteads is very, very good. CE is average. Their strength of schedule is middle of the pack. Other three are Top 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree regarding Essegian and am not advocating for him. I just don’t think it’s a slam dunk for Comer. Loyer is very deserving of the award, and showed it by earning the GPOY award.

In my eyes, I can't look past city POY and 4A state champ. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even like hockey, but man that was nice. It absolutely makes it a better experience. Got spoiled when I was selling Bankers Life Insurance for a few years. Suites to just about thing I wanted. Saw a few concerts, lots of Pacers games, The Big ten tourney from the suites. As Scott said earlier hard to watch from anywhere else outside of courtside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 At one time I felt that Loyer wouldn't win it because he is a transplant. I don't really feel that way now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Then lose to St peter. The Peacocks. The idea isn't to be Purdue. That level of success here gets you fired. Ask Tom Crean.
