This game, Yale, SBC road game are our 3 biggest winnable non conference games. 0-1 so far. Must win if we want an 11 seed

This is a good practice game against size. We should win by 20 but hopefully we rebound and defend well!

Buffalo got a vote from the AP poll. Good sign for the Mac!

This is why we got Evan! I think groce saw what happened vs Peter Suder and said I have to get a guy who will shut him down. Townsend is an another great player with a similar matchup problem. I am excited for the foreshadowing and opportunity at revenge!

Maybe I am overly optimistic about the A word. But I think 30-4 gets the job done

If we beat Iona, Oregon State, and Yale… I will be thrilled and that is how we get an at large… going to be extremely hard. But I think it is possible!!

I totally agree Stank needs to learn the American game. Stank makes some really good passes and guys just can’t finish. But I have noticed he charges about once’s a game. Once he learned how to do a euro step he will be deadly.

This team has a chance to be really good. I love the brother’s size and athleticism. Played the game as good as I think we realistically could. Win the paradise jam next week and I think at large is still in play.

A fun development is that Kent also plays Purdue. Will be interesting to compare

Purdue’s system has a weakness and it’s athleticism. When they lost to a 16 seed with Zach Edey I believe FDU’s Center was 6’7. I think you beat them with athletic pressure and hope you shoot better than them. still a long shot to win. But I like this match up more than Arizona last year.

Heck of a game. We shot the ball well and just completely out Ran them off the floor athletically. Eric really impressed me in offense today.

I was worried about the post Defense when I heard MMK was backing up Lyles in at the 5. He really impressed me. I think MMK can be a solid back up big for about 80% of our games. Only problem I see is we have offense guys and Defense guys. Right now I think there are 4 guys who are both. Tavari, Scott, young, Lyles. the hope is as the season goes on more become both. Or Groce will have to be a wizard with rotation.

I am quite nervous for our defense tomorrow night. Hopefully we are hot from 3 and take care of business. who is everyone’s prediction for mvp of the game. I am rolling with Sharron Young

The biggest concern for me was hearing that briscoe and barre played a total of 2 minutes. That puts its all on Amani. I love MMK as he is a hustle player. But he is not skilled enough to be our back up big.

I saw on joe lunardi bracketology YSU is a team in the field meaning he thinks they win the horizon league. not a end of the world loss. But it sounds like we struggled on offense, and some of fears of the team came true. Feels like Monday night will set expectations for the rest of season.

I know the system does not favor us as there is a circular loop with the Net system. But we have tough games besides Purdue. Road games: Miami,Ohio,Kent state,Tulane, SB challenge Neutral games: Murray state, Iona, Oregon State, Yale Here is what qualifies as a Q2 win neutral court: RPI 50-100 Road games: RPI 76-135 I could see some of these games play into a Q2 game.

Great article by Zipped up. I totally agree. I think this team is on paper better than last year but the MAC seems to be much better than last season. its going to be tough. Is it just me or does it feel like we have enough good games to get an at large if we win 25 games?

Anyone going. I need a scouting report injected into my veins! lol

I Saw Nate scored 14 in K-state scrimmage vs Missouri looked like he was the 2nd leading scorer for the wildcats. I am definitely cheering for him this season.

I like the new uniforms! Blue and black is unique, good for a single game

I got my parking pass in the mail today, I got lot 8 which is an upgrade for me! No longer stuck in lot 1!

Akron comes in at 94 in the Preseason Kenpom! Kent is 125 and Miami is 127

Just about to post this about Evan. I think this is an extremely good sign. I think Evan has the chance to be glue who holds the team together

Let’s go!!!! So pumped to see what these guys can do. I feel like it is a 2 horse race with us and Miami. Is anyone else got the fire power to compete with us and Miami?

I see big value in Shammah being the 6th man but I think he put the blood sweat and tears for this program to not start his senior year. Then I could see both Mahaffey bother’s start with Amani Lyles and Johnson.
