Blue & Gold

🙂

Just looked at the box score & see Prather didn't receive a single minute even versus Heidelberg. Is he still injured? It looks like he's been dressing. He's only a R-Fr., but zero minutes? Amani Lyles is another concern. Against Heidelberg he saw 20 minutes, shot 5-of-7 for 10 points, and had 8 rebounds, so that's a nice line... but... Heidelberg. Thus far against D1 competition all of our games have been nail biters so there's not really been a good situation where Groce could afford to let him get his feet wet in mop up duty. He tallied... 2 minutes vs. SDSU 0 minutes vs. S.Miss 0 minutes vs. FIU, and 0 minutes vs. Utah State Just something to keep an eye on. I'm not throwing the towel in on Amani yet. But with minutes like Prather and Amani have been getting, or, more specifically not getting... Idk.

This is how I feel. We weren't going to go undefeated, and without a P6 opponent on our schedule we were very unlikely to receive any Top 25 votes anyway (which I always covet). So, whatever, bad games happen. Let's learn from it & move on.

Did anyone else’s feed just freeze?

One thing that gives me hope of not losing key contributors to the TP is the Wagon Wheel postgame interview with Lingard. According to him he absolutely LOVES it here and plans on being a presence around the program for the rest of his life. He's played at both Miami-FL and Florida, so I'm sure he's letting the fellas know they're in a good place and the grass is definitely not always greener.

I didn’t watch but had been wondering if they could effectively employ HAVOC two days in a row.

Tavari can really get his own shot, they’re just an eyelash away from falling right now.

I think that's the idea! 💪💪

Indeed 🎯💯

We'll have to study that film & see what Missouri State was doing to them! Did you watch the game? Was it Missouri State... or did KSUcks just have an off night?

In the postgame interview responding to Joe Dunn saying (IIRC), "Coach, I'm so glad you hung those 'Walk-On Tryout' flyers in the Rec Center." Coach Groce said, "Enrique's a unicorn. I could coach for another 50 years and a situation like Enrique's would never happen again."

Thanks for this great post, @catdaddyp. The fact no one's replied to it shows we're kinda demoralized right now. If we get Kamari Landers back next year I'm excited about our OL. Idk when I've been able to last say that. Desperately need that plug-in & play QB transfer.

That is difficult to believe. Not a very high bar 🤨

FIU looked damn tough to me. I wouldn't want to play them again.

They look tough so far. I really like their pressure defense.

Though it ended in a 0-0 draw (😑) we completely controlled the match against ND when we played them. Are they playing better than they were toward the beginning of the season?

Hope they do a great job! We should host these games AMAP.

I have almost ZERO faith in the U to roll out the red carpet and to make this as professional, delightful, and headache-free an evening as possible for our esteemed guests from Walsh and Hoban. Instead, UA will show up 5 minutes early, unprepared, and hit 100 bumps in the road.

The U simply can't wait to f*ck this up & tick off 10,000 fans from two prominent area high schools
