And just like that... THEY PLAYED THE BEST HALF OF THE SEASON.

This is our worst half of the season. Curses.

actually, yes

I would love to see pigs fly. Both have about the same chances of happening - SLIM and NONE.

That team was bigger but they were not that athletic. Many missed bunnies, lived by the 3. Tree and Zeke were able to dominate the boards due to Zekes height and Trees hops. This team is way more athletic and can play a faster game. We will see how they do.

Our biggest positive right now is that we are playing so many freshmen. As the season goes forward we can only get better with experience. Dawson made a really nice shot, they need to get him up to speed.

When we win another game in the MAC it will all become real and they will start to choke on that 5th place prediction.

Today he was 17-6-5 Those are POY numbers if he can keep it up.

LCJ is a strong contender for POY. He is ON FIRE! He has another year. I hope he spends it with us. As a grad student, he can transfer and play. Somebody out there can use a guy that is this good, and a masters from Harvard or Michigan State or whatever sure looks good on the resume. At his size, he may not be able to have a post college career anywhere. So the name on the sheepskin may be a big deal to him.

Too many unforced errors.

9-0 #19 in the NET standings

Not too bad. Ahead of a lot of P5 teams. More like the KD days. Speaking of which, did you see where KD is at now?

This is interesting. And look where Buffalo is rated! http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2020/schedule/Akron So far a huge change from last 2 years.

I think this team is for real. So far they lost (barely) to #2 (and could have won) and WVU. Very strong OOC so far. Should be very competitive in the MAC.

nope

Do you have to sign up or log in?

You sound like a guy who moved all his 401K money into penny stocks and lost everything. Claiming that's it's OK because you would have only made 2% had you stayed where you were.

Is he going to be a redshirt?

I just confused myself. That makes me the next football coach.

According to this he has to sit out this year as a transfer. UNLESS he is graduating Dec 15. That would make him a graduate student and eligible. I think. https://gozips.com/news/2019/4/19/mens-basketball-iowas-maishe-daily-to-finish-collegiate-career-at-akron.aspx

Gentlemen (ladies?): The truth is simple. We were 0-12, blown out in every game. The absolute WORST D1 program in the United States of America. It does not matter who or what you blame it on. It is what it is. We went from a coach who got two bowl games and a conference championship game to a program that is the absolute laughingstock of the Country. I don't know how to fix this. Recruits are not beating down our doors to play for a loser. Current team members are filling the transfer portal. Now we talk about what we can "afford". Really? Can we afford to go on like this? An empty team and an empty stadium. Change must happen, and it must happen NOW. At least give the next loser we hire the time to attempt to build a team.

They have a nice schedule: https://merrimackathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

I hope next year we are 12-0 BUT the real question is, how many games do we lose next year before someone finally dumps this guy?

If they only play like this in the MAC, WINNING STREAK.

If only X hit a few of those 3's we would beat #2
