These are pretty normal turnovers for Top Level NAIA schools. When you get a couple like Vance Cooksey and Quincy Hankins-Cole you have a shot, but even then it was a underdog run.

It is very hit and miss.

I'm just happy we're contending for conference and national titles every year...

Even though im no UPIKE fan, I love seeing NAIA teams from KY, especially Mid South Conference teams doing well.

They are both talented players and are very good pickups for Pikeville.

I'm glad that Pikeville is playing basketball at the level they are at. Could be a 2nd championship soon.

Anyone know if what I'm hearing today is true? Wells to Morehead and UPike is already planning interviews.
