A bit chaotic and undisciplined on offense, but again we are leading at the first media time out. How many times were we already down ten points a couple of years ago?

Seems to next Tenieshia Clark would have been a good candidate.

Game starting now....

I only got to see the closing minutes so nothing to report.

Any scouting report on UMass ...

With Bud’s involvement, I would think we have at least a respectable NIL base compared to our conference peers as well…

The game just ended. I'm guessing it will be 30 minutes, which puts us a few minutes before 6:00pm.

Yale's resume isn't impressive thus far. Their hype is still a carry over from last season, although they will still end up being the class of the Ivy League most likely.

Considering UMass-Charleston game is still going, I'm going to guess the Akron game will start a bit late.

We just got a 100k donation for the recruiting, absolutely huge!

Reagan would have been the women’s participant last year (and easily 1st team All-MAC) but she hit the portal the first chance she could. As for this year it was definitely going to be a new face considering the huge amount of turnover. Not sure if this is just a sign of the times/the new norm or if this is going to a revolving door roster with Gensler here.

One small thing that jumped out at me recently occurred at the Tip-off reception. Each year, the men's and women's team each have a player take the stage with their coaches for a Q and A. The men's players have been veteran team leader guys like Nate, Enrique and Tavari. Regan Bass was Enrique's counterpart. I don't remember last year's women's participant. This year it was an exceptional engineering student but she was new to the team. It made me wonder about the continuity and stability of the roster.

I agree about Finley. If he’s in form, we’ve got a shot to take one of—if not both—Wyoming and UAB. Instead, we wrapped up non-con play with the same record we always seem to have against P4 opponents. We’ve been waiting on Murphy for a while now. If the portal hits us the way I’m expecting, 2026 may be the perfect window for him to finally come into his own. I haven’t heard anything about White either. I’m assuming it was a season-ender since he never came back. He’s already used a redshirt, but he should be able to get a medical one if he chooses. Getting him back healthy would be huge, especially if we’re operating under the assumption that DeWalt is out of eligibility.

Fundamentals cost them the game. 20plus TOs, Missed 18 FREE THROWS! and up 3 with 5+ seconds to go everyone knows you foul. Dont allow a streak shooter to even attempt the tying shot. Not to mention that was against a team that had fouled out SIX! yes SIX players!

Yale won. UMass and Charleston are tied with 11:30 to go

One might imagine 8 hours in a plane and the Virgin Island resorts are a distraction for some of these youngsters.

2004 first season. 6-5 overall. Finished second in the MAC East behind Miami. The key to that season was not an Owens recruit, but Brett Biggs coming off the bench against and giving the program some life in a loss to Middle Tennessee. The program did well the next two seasons as Brookhart brought more of his own people in.

Yale is struggling to put away Green Bay

Would’ve helped but Troy has some head scratching loses already. They’ve been all over the place this month

another one from the players....

Last week we saw power conference programs play in a ballroom in West Virginia. This arena has to be an upgrade over that.

Gym looks a little better than the Cayman Islands, still not great. It’s gotta be funny to be some of the best players at their level and go play some of the most competitive games of the year in a gym like this

Sad thing is ... a win here, combined with San Diego State likely puts Troy solidly in the at-large picture if they don't win the Sun Belt. Great game. Great performance. Brutal Loss.

5.5 hrs...just sayin https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Blacksburg,+VA/Pittsburgh,+PA/@38.8273651,-82.1803206,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x884d950adc06dcc3:0x86ceb8ea4842da2d!2m2!1d-80.4150745!2d37.2300668!1m5!1m1!1s0x8834f16f48068503:0x8df915a15aa21b34!2m2!1d-79.9972352!2d40.4386612!3e0!5m1!1e1?authuser=0&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I would think the 8 weeks are important in the sense that even if you're able to retain 2 or 3 of the offensive lineman it puts you in a much better position to succeed than needing to replace all 5. Some guys will perform at such a high level that we will never be able to afford them. We saw that with Nate Johnson in basketball. We need to at least position ourselves to keep a few guys below that tier so at least we have a foundation to build off of.
