Rewatched the Evansville game and here’s a random observation. Barre, for a guy his size has a nice touch at the free throw line.

Yeah I dunno, finding another walk-on contributor would be great. I think he's a clear tier below any of the scholarship players. He hustles and plays good defense. His weakness is scoring. He has 4 points in his last 30 minutes and is shooting 16.7% from 3 on the year

Oregon State was Iona's Super Bowl as they lose to Green Bay 80-75.

He has been in multiple games prior to the standard clean up duty moments. Yesterday, they subbed him in multiple times in the first half. I posted earlier in this thread that his weakness(es) being unknown are more impressive because that means he's not an obvious negative when he's on the court.

excerpt from yesterday's press conference..... but the tweet message....is strong...... zips need 2,500 plus in the stands on Sunday

Dru's squad really struggled Saturday at SVSM, losing to a Northeastern team that was not nearly as talented.

Nice story featured on ESPN.com: https://www.espn.com/gaming/story/_/id/47055178/dru-joyce-lebron-james-duquesne-akron

I thought the same, but Groce has hinted at a larger role for him during radio interviews. And he played during the course of the game yesterday. Not just at the very end.

Well nothing against Halligan, but we've got a very deep roster of scholarship players so his role will mostly be clean up duty

Remember 1986!!! Current Duke coach John Kerr was the star of that team. I think he scored the lone goal in the final. Another prominent player on that 1986 Duke championship squad was Ken Lolla.

Correct.

Halligan's contribution is that he's a good defender, works hard and doesn't hurt you when he's on the floor with turnovers and bad shots. He's Marvin but on the perimeter.

Halligan is a walk on right?

The answer to the 2004 clue is "When was the last time Eddie George played a down in the NFL?"

This was a really good question and it stuck with me because I didn’t have the obvious answer. I once suggested he might be the next Hardman, but I hope we use one of the open scholarships to bring in another sharp shooter. My best guess is Halligan is still a work in progress, but could fill the role of strong, big-bodied guard. Think Mikal Dawson or Isaiah Gray.

All the more reason to smash Duke and send them back to Durham with their butts hurt. That and 1986.

Incorrect, the Big East also has three teams. Yet another example of ACC arrogance (or ignorance).

MVC might not like it for this reason, but it would improve our strength of schedule as a league. I’m in, even if it was just select match ups.

MVC would be a tough challenge. Would love it for Akron but the button half of the conference would get rolled.

Round of 16 feels so sweet!

Guess we dodged a bullet with Oregon state

Well Oregon State had quite the clunker haha

Buffalo got a vote from the AP poll. Good sign for the Mac!

UMass pulled away in the final minute. Wins 73-65.

UMass beats Oregon St. 73-65. Nice win for UMass.
