I’m still hoping Barre can return and stay healthy so we can maximize our potential heading down the stretch.

I know we controlled the whole game, but the crowd was not as rowdy as usual. More to your point that Boal’s seat might be getting warm.

I think this might be our most complete game yet. The fact that we dominated a full 40 minutes in a true road game in Athens is awesome to watch.

Amani Lyles effort!!

I lost count of the Grocisms in that interview.

We might be thinking in a similar manner. As much as Nate had really improved and earned MAC Player of the Year he still had a few bad tendencies. Taking a play off here and there. And he was always good for one head-scratching pass or a missed dunk per game. I’m not being critical, just saying that was the Nate we experienced and he had Groce staring him down from the bench. I can’t imagine a new coach, any new coach could possibly know exactly which buttons to push to get the best out of Nate in one season. Or it could be just a bad situation all together.

Shoeless Joe Jackson was innocent and belongs in the Hall of Fame. That’s my only contribution.

Nice to see that we can still hit 100 points regardless of the lineup rotation.

Buffalo on the road sounds like it could be a good challenge. But at the same time I could see them having an emotional let down game like we experienced after losing a close one in Miami.

Great response by the Zips. The MAC does appear to be much improved.

Our defensive effort is good, but they are just shooting well. Edit: Western Michigan is on fire. 🔥

In my opinion, the only team undefeated at the end wears black and white stripes.

They would prefer to call it salmon color. Not that it’s any better.

I thought Young was more impactful also.

That’s the Shammah I love. He’s playing great again.
