51% isn't very impressive, considering over half their buckets were layups.

Two things: 1. Big Dog is good. Why the heck did he not play vs CC? Would have been nice if this wasn't his first action. He will dominate the MAC. 2. While we are very deep, and very athletic, we are simple terrible playing uptempo. I'm not saying play Charlie Coles style, but we are too undisciplined playing uptempo. The press creates easy layups, and our breaks turn into a turnover half the time. We're bigger than every single team we'll play this year. Slow it down and get the ball inside. We won't see a team that can stop Tree, Pat, Big Dog, Harney and Kwan inside.

Yeah that was awesome. Keep winning and we'll see a bunch of 5K crowds I think. They deserve it too. I was shocked to see the student section full - and it looked to be 95% actual students too, not just randoms sitting there.

Yep, wouldn't have thought it was lame if I didn't have something to compare it to.

I think turning off all of the lights is needed. It was frankly a little lame with the lights on above the bleachers. Felt like a high school dance

I guess I don't get it. We were up 32-13 at one point. If we can't get them minutes in a game like that, when are they going to get minutes?

Is Big Dog hurt? Surely someone that hyped up didn't get 0 minutes on opening night. Right?

Baylor has a pretty good defense

Do you really think under three blocks a game in high school is an indicator of good defense?

Not just directed at you, but I feel a lot of Zip fans think blocking shots is the only way to play defense after watching Zeke.

I think it's fair to say that if they were a slouch, it wouldn't come down to fouls called/not called. We should have beat them, but they weren't a slouch.

Surely you'd agree that if we had the info equivalent of the JAR, it would be full.

Thanks for the info Brad, cool stuff. Seeing ~3,300 at the exhibition makes it seem pretty likely in my opinion. I'm pretty excited, hope the team makes your job easy this season.

Per backthezips.com, 1881 seats remain. Wonder if they include a student estimate in there. If not, might be close to a sellout

2200 tickets left. With pregame sales this week and walk ups I'd expect about 4,500 which is still fantastic for a game against coastal carolina in football season. Nice to see fan interest finally start to catch up to the quality of the team.

No offense to our guys, but we're 3-7. I'm not real concerned about "losing" anyone.

It's almost as if the coaches see these guys play every day when they pick the starter.

Should be 4-8 after this year. As strange as it sounds, that's gonna have me really excited going into next year. I think Bowden has us on the upswing, hope the recruits think the same.

Did I miss something? I didn't see any rumor mongering going on

And.. It's officially basketball season

I don't think he should redshirt either. If he grew a half inch during your post, he should dominate by March.

Just because McCrea plays dirty doesn't diminish his ability. This isn't the Lady Byng award. I think by the end of the year more will agree that Tree is better, but as of now it's a tough argument.

Fantastic. Step one of not feeling like I'm at a high school game.

Can the new lights turn off for the intros?

Bought my first set of season tix today. A couple more thousand to go!
