Seems he was here for a game when he was heavily recruiting a couple of Cleveland kids, but I can't recall when. I know he's been to several FB games in the suites, again when he was in the area recruiting. Haven't seen/heard much of him since he was let go at WVU. Hopefully all is well and his weight is down. Great guy. Great coach.

How would you like to play for this coach who basically threw all of his players under the bus. I think everyone on this board knew that Nate was a great MAC player but few thought the would be a great player at the next level. The coach has to accept responsiblity for assembling a team that cannot compete at the level. Basically, the players are pros and mayber the colleges should have a gm who evaluates talent and brings in talent. Tang might be a great coach but not sure if he can evaluate talent. When K State lost to Bowling Green he had to know this was going to be a losing season.

I was thinking 12 teams with 2 teams from each G6. Round 1 would be the conference championship game and the teams would be reseeded after. The playoffs would come to an end right when the CFP begin so it doesn't have to worry about competing directly with it.

Agree! What a naive comment from someone (OP) who either isn’t wise on basic level investing or is not in tune with what most of the country is going through right now in terms of struggles with the job market and inflation. There has been no public info on what Nate has majored in or what degree he got from Akron that I’ve seen but the average starting salary for a UA graduate is $69K before taxes. Average annual salary for a mid-level MBB player overseas is $50-150K a year, for the top players it could be between $200-300K year. ~60% of US born players overseas earn under $75K a year. You were saying?

8 of the last 10 games for UMass have finished as one-score margins of victory or defeat.

I'll never blame Nate for taking that money. I will laugh at KSU for paying Nate Johnson that much money.

IMO this just comes off as a coach trying to deflect the blame from himself. I don't follow KSU basketball, but this will be his 3rd straight losing season in conference play and 3rd straight year of missing the big dance. He's solely responsible for assembling this roster so if he's not happy with the players on his team frankly he has nobody to blame but himself.

Make sure someone takes his keys

Bob Huggins will be in the building to see his former assistant Frank Martin. Hope the zips shout him out to give a big crowd reaction

Four more minutes last night as the Wolves blew out the Blazers. One rebound and one block.

I wish the Captain wouldn't publicize the extravagant lengths he is going to impress his wife. Before my wife saw his post she was willing to settle for a Klondike bar at the Speedway on Exchange near campus. Sheesh! Thanks Buddy!

Bassitt has signed a one year deal with the Orioles.

Let the schools host a bowl game. Would be a better environment compared to the neutral site games

Frankly, the people of this community and some on here don't deserve this team or coach. Deflating loss? Seriously? Isn't there a 28 home winning streak? All anyone does is complain. We don't have good concessions, no halftime entertainment (which they wouldn't be able to see if they are in line for those good hot dogs), oh wait, we need more concession stands, so I can get my hot dog quickly and get back to my very uncomfortable seat to watch the halftime show which I can't see because of the glass railing, and every game should be at 7pm but not on certain Saturdays and not opposite an Ohio State game or the Olympic pairs free skate and don't expect people to come to an Akron game after they lose on the road unless the game is against Kent. And one more thing they lose every important game other than those pesky 3 games in March when all the players run out on the floor and hug each other and cut down the nets.

Getting another year of Bowen would be welcome news. Good player, and we'll be losing a lot as is.
