Dambrot has called out specific coaches by name, like he did when he said he talked to UM coach face to face. If you don't think there was little truth in it, wouldn't those coaches refute it? It's also not like Akron is the only up and coming mid-major that has voiced those concerns. I suppose all those coaches are lying and just trying to protect themselves...
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 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.
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.
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.
