I am looking forward to a good test tonight. I think the thing I'm most interested in is. Can Ty Pence make a offensive impact. we need him to hit 2 to 3 3's a game just to create space. Do we think Josiah Harris has a "revenge" Game. or is he a non Factor?

Roster was constructed and played like this vs YSU. There are “3 positions” PG wing, Center we have 3 PGs: Staveskie Perkins, X. Wilson we have 8 wings: Mahaffey, Pence, Oriol, Halligan, White, MMK, Head, Henderson we have 3 centers: Barre, Burton, Hammer. the key will be finding combos and rotations of those 8 wings that give us offense and defense. The crazy part is there are 56 different combos you could have. my favorite right now would be Oriol, Mahaffey and MMK.

After sleeping on it. I think the interesting part of the team is Evan Mahaffey. Last year he played the 4 on offense and guarded a 4 on defense. this year it looked like he was playing the 2 and guarding the best Wing player I think that kid can play the 2 he is just not a shot creator. But maybe by March he can be. He is a great Kid and very reliable

Oriol played much better in the 2nd half does anyone know where was Henderson?

MMK for president. He’s now my favorite player. Put the work in the off season

The combo of pence white and Evan I think is too big. None of those guys are guards. we are missing a real 2 guard. where is Henderson, Head, Wilson ? Kamrin Oriol Is our only 2 guard playing and he is a ball hog who is playing terrible

It’s one game. But I would like to see them scheme some shooters open. Like get pence and open look or 2

MMK has always had a great Free throw. if he could extend to the 3 point line. that would give us a 2nd Evan. having 2 of them on the court at once would be wild. especially if MMK could take the roll of 3 and D guy

I am headed to the game tonight, excited to see the new guys. I am looking to see if the combo of Burton and Barre can Hold he fort down and be productive. we don't need them to average 15 points a game but we do need Rebounding and Rim protection.

I am not Thrilled by the non D1 opponents but I think overall this year home schedule is awesome. you get Tulane (very good Name) a top Sunbelt team in February and with in conference play you get all the good teams. Ohio, Toledo, Umass, PCCC, Miami, bowling Green etc. last year we missed Miami and Ohio and it I would take those games over Northern Kentucky any day.

here is the post I saw: Mark Mitchell returned to Missouri after briefly de-committing and committing to Kentucky, bringing the Tigers' roster to a potential 16 players under a specific roster exemption. [1, 2] Missouri was already carrying 15 players on its roster when Mitchell decided to return to Columbia for a fifth year of eligibility. The addition does not violate standard limits because the program can carry 16 players via a roster exemption, or due to players grandfathered in as designated student-athletes when the 15-player limit was established. Mitchell's fifth-year eligibility remains subject to a pending NCAA appeal following his legal maneuvering in Kentucky

I saw a post about Mark Mitchell who was a 5th year who committed back to Missouri when Missouri had 15 active players. The post said that since Mitchell was on the Roster last year, He could get a roster spot exemption. Made no sense to me, but Evan and Mitchell are the exact same Situation. So if Missouri can have 16 spots so can Akron I guess. lol

Just renewed my season tickets. I was holding out for the schedule release. It has to be any day now. I think the 22 game MAC schedule really helps the season ticket holder

Bracket busters saying Ty pence and Scott are similar, is Ludacris. My hopeful starting 5 is: Staveskie Oriol Ty Pence Mahaffey Barre that team seems to have a chance to be something special. Just got to hope Oriol and Mahaffey get cleared to play

Anyone hear anything about Bowen Hardman landing somewhere?
