I find myself with you. Love these guys but Iβm having a difficult time getting excited about this yearβs MAC tourney. Hope I shake this off by tip off! Go Zips!
Good post. The truth hurts.
Groce & Co. pretty much whiffed on *Scott & Thornton.
**Tavari didn't develop like I'm sure they were hoping.
Dawson has regressed since his injury & year off.
Nate Johnson got hurt & hasn't returned to form.
PF ***Jermaine Marshall transferred out for mort PT. He'd be a senior for us this year.
C ****Aziz Bandaogo transferred out for more PT. He'd be a junior for us this year.
We've had a lot to overcome.
* I still think Scott has a lot of upside.
** Seems as though Groce & Co. were banking on a breakout year for Tavari.
*** Jermaine was named to the SoCon All-Tournament Team and had 23 & 8 in Samford's championship game win.
**** Aziz would be one of the best mid-major C's in the nation this year.

Would you expound upon this point?
Personally, I love where the Info is located. I'd also be thrilled with a downtown basketball arena across from Canal Park. I'm also excited about the potential of the renovated Polsky Building bringing arts & music to Main Street. I've always believed the more vibrant Main St. & Exchange Streets are the better. I'm of the opinion the U & the city (downtown, specifically) are a symbiotic relationship. It sounds as though you and I are on different pages in this regard?
Jermaine Marshall & Samford are playing for the SoCon championship.
Edit: my bad. Apparently itβs only the semifinals and the championship game is tomorrow night.
Excited to have you guys & looking forward to competing against you! Good fit competitively for football & UMass, Akron, Kent State, Ohio, Toledo, Buffalo & Ball State makes for a very nice basketball conference.
I think I'd rather be playing KSUcks. We've beaten them twice this year & now Payton is hurt. Miami beat us earlier in the year (when we were playing much better than we are now). Big 6'8" 305-pound (probably closer to 350 than 305) Anderson Mirambeaux has surprisingly quick feet, can hit outside shots, & gave Enrique trouble in our first meeting... in fact I'd go as far as to say he outplayed Enrique in their first meeting. It's the only time this season a P has outplayed 'Rique.
And our guards cannot throw it in the ocean. WTH?? This is supposed to be D-1 basketball!!! π‘
Gotta shake things up. Our Starting 5 going forward...
PG - Tavari
G - Tribble

W - Ali
