We certainly need bigger, faster, stronger players. I don't know how we can get them, but we won't take the next step without them.

Yeah, I had to turn the game off after they decided to turn it into a dunk contest off of the errant pass.

Well that's game.

Yeah, I don't even know what halftime adjustments that can be made. We haven't stopped dribble penetration all year, I can't see how we'll suddenly start now.

This team would run away with the MAC. We are getting outplayed.

Is that our 7th travel?

We have been in the bonus for 4 minutes and still haven't taken it to the hole.

This might be a long night. We have no answer defensively and the times we don't turn it over, we are getting bad looks. Have to survive this 1st half and make some serious adjustments at the half.

We need to settle down. We've made so many unforced turnovers so far.

What the hell was that TDM?

We needed that media timeout. We need to move the ball around and create more better looks.

Such sloppy play on both sides so far.

Like to see all those d-line offers outstanding. Now we just need to land a couple.

Nice arena. Shame despite having an enrollment of nearly 40,000 and basketball being the schools #1 sport, they don't have a football team, they've never filled the arena to capacity for a basketball game (seats 7,000).

I'm with you Captain. The injury that may play a factor in this game is Jalen Jones, UTA 2nd leading scorer, got injured in SunBelt semifinals and is out for the year.

So because there wasn't 5k+ fans in the arena that means the players who were found crying in the locker room after the game didn't care? That's perhaps one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard on this forum. I'm seen uninspired teams play in front of sold out crowds of 10k+ fans and I saw an inspired Bowling Green beat us in their house in front of a crowd of less than 1,900.

The common factor in pretty much all our failed scheduling attempts have come from opposing coaches having no desire to play us.

Getting the opposing coaches blessing is perhaps the most important part of geting any deal done. I wouldn't call someone lobbying for them to schedule a home and home with Akron only for Sampson quickly nipping it in the butt "close to happening." In fact I'd say it's the opposite.

During national signing day I'm pretty sure Bowden insinuated on a radio interview that it is a very likely scenario that Woodson wouldn't be ready by game 1.

Explains Dunn's confusion in thinking we'd host against UTA.

D'Antonio appears to have Marshall trending in the right direction so that is 1 team that can improve our OOC schedule moving forward. I'd like to see 2 more quality home and homes even if that means we have to sacrifice a home game per year to achieve it. Perhaps we can use that money we save buying fewer games to pay more for teams like Georgia Southern to help compliment the home slate. There is value in our type of scheduling if you are a Miami or Bowling Green and just need wins like we did in the early 2000s to build support for the program. We've moved past that and need to focus on scheduling more teams that better prepare us for March.

Even with that OOC schedule it was pretty evident given their 12 seed that they wouldn't have made the tournament had they not won their conference tournament. Kind of shows the uphill battle facing the Zips and other mid-majors.

I watched the American East championship game and Vermont has to be the worst D1 gym I've ever seen.

A shame with a nice, new arena like that they still only averaged 2,327 or roughly 33% of the capacity. Serves as a reminder a new arena doesn't guarantee swarms of new people will attend games.
