Barre had the heart condition flare up at Duquesne which seemingly really limited his availability. The hoopla surrounding him came from his highlight film when he committed. He's quite athletic and long; fits this system really well once he gets going.
It’s crazy to me how we have 7 players capable of going off and beating you every single night (both Mahaffey’, Tavari, Shammah, Sharron, Lyles and even Hardman).
Liking seeing Barre get more time. A true big that can play is going to be important in March.
Reghi makes a good point about Lyles in that he only averaged 2 points a game as a sophmore and is now averaging 14 points per game with back to back 20 point games. However, you can also make the same argument about Tevari and Scott. These 3 guysl have really improved their game in year 3. Give them credit and give Groce credit.
Bucknell started to miss some open threes and that made all the difference so that we could pull ahead by 13. Also, a nice steal by the Zips. It looks like we have 9 man rotation with Stankovic being the odd man out right now. I think he has to be more aggressive on defense. Between Barre and Stankovic, I think it would be Barre since we need a rim protector. I thought based on all the hoopla on this board that he was a starter for Duquesne. Instead, he only average 4 points. He seems to fit in well with this team.
Congratulations to Zips Men's Soccer alum Diogo Pacheco on signing with San Antonio FC for the 2026 season.
