We may just not be very good. We've struggled some years to win against better opponents, but with the exception of Arkansas State, we don't even look like we belong with most of them so far this year. Frustrating team to watch.

Why did Harris miss today?

Has Senderoff ever had control of his team? But, then again, he did seem to start it all.

First win against Toledo since 2013

Akron didn't have a coaching change. I guess that's where I'm confused.

...and in the Dambrot/Dru/Duquesne thread. I said, "Of the 8 players who averaged at least 15 MPG on last year's Duquesne team, 6 were seniors and are now gone, including their top 2 scorers." And you said "Now do Akron" Do Akron how?

I was pretty surprised he transferred. Even if Amani looked better over time, it's not like we couldn't use another big on this year's roster. It made me wonder if the coaches didn't feel Baker was as good as they originally thought.

What does Akron have to do with it?

Of the 8 players who averaged at least 15 MPG on last year's Duquesne team, 6 were seniors and are now gone, including their top 2 scorers.

I was thinking this too. I initially thought at the game he was going to miss some time and certainly didn't think he'd be back in that game. That thud was loud when he hit the floor.

I dont think this is fair, personally. Groce, an experienced and winning coach, went 14-18 in his first year at Akron. There's a transitional period for most programs when there's a coaching change. Let's give Dru some time before we insult his credentials.

Seth Wilson is shooting 15.8% (3-19) on 3 pointers. He shot 37.9 and 41.5 respectively his previous two seasons at WVU, so I'm hopeful this is just early season rust while adapting to a new team. Only MMK has played less minutes among rotation players.

It will be interesting to watch the transfers as the season unfolds. So far, it's been mixed results. Okonkwo looks more like a rotational big than a difference maker. Wilson has been really underwhelming and barely played today. Hardman looked the best he has so far today. Same with Gray. Harris looked like our best player in the first two games and hasn't played as well the last 2. It's very early and they need time, so I'm hoping to see them all continue to settle in as the season progresses and they get more. Rebounding/interior defense is going to be a problem against team with any kind of size, which I think may ultimately limit this team's ceiling, but hopefully I'm wrong.
