The Unlikely Heroes of College Basketball
When it comes to entertainment value, few teams can rival the thrill of watching Free Lutheran Bible College’s (FBLC) Conquerors take to the court. While powerhouses like Duke and UConn may boast impressive win-loss records, FBLC’s brand of basketball is a unique spectacle that’s hard to look away from.
A Season of Struggle
Last year’s 0-24 record was a testament to the Conquerors’… let’s say, “creative” approach to the game. Thirteen losses by more than 50 points, including a jaw-dropping 124-18 defeat at the hands of Spurgeon College, left fans wondering what would happen next. This season, things haven’t gotten much better, with the team being outscored 172-16 in their two losses so far.
The Quest for Victory
As the Conquerors navigate the challenges of their schedule, one thing is certain: they don’t lose by a hair’s breadth. Their losses are often by landslide margins, leaving fans to ponder the existential question: can anyone beat them by 150 points? According to KenPom, Mississippi Valley State, the worst team in Division I, might just be up for the task. A hypothetical exhibition game between the two would be a must-watch event.
The Silver Lining
Despite their struggles, there’s something endearing about FBLC’s plucky underdogs. Perhaps it’s their unwavering enthusiasm or their sheer determination to find that elusive win. Whatever the reason, we can’t help but root for the Conquerors as they stumble through the season.
A Call to Action
As the Conquerors continue their quest for victory, we wish them the best of luck. Who knows? Maybe they’ll stumble upon a winning formula and shock the basketball world. Until then, we’ll be glued to our screens, watching in awe as they valiantly attempt to conquer the court.
