Airballing wide open 3s..nice

Mostly thinking in terms of next year - I think Sammy is a solid piece to our team in that he can obviously be hot from the 3 on any given night. He can also get some buckets down low and hit some jumpers. I don't think he's the type of player who should be expected to take over games regularly as he's not really a creator. He's taken a lot of criticism this season, but I think it was mostly deserved in OOC play and less so in MAC play. He's been more selective and efficient in MAC play based on my observation and stats seem to back that up as he's 20th in conference in FG% and 14th in 3pt%, which is the best on our team (just ahead of X). If you can get 10-12 out of him on average, that's meeting expectations in my mind. He's currently at 8.3ppg in MAC play.

Everybody has different financial situations and has a right to spend their money however they want, but I'll just share my approach for consideration. I know I can only usually make it to a few games a year. Considering that and the games not being a "hot ticket in town", I only purchase GA tickets. Happy to up that to reserved seating whenever I feel its personally appropriate, but to me, the $120 for two GA tickets is more a show of support than anything. Obviously, the few games I'm able to make it to and the tickets already being paid for is nice too. Additionally, you can transfer them if you know of somebody else attending and you can't go. Unsure if they still do it, but a few years ago they'd let you transfer tickets from say a weeknight CMU game to a weekend Ohio game, so if you host a tailgate and have people attending who otherwise might not be, having tickets for them/maximizing your season ticket purchase is also nice.

LFG!

Agreed. Re-upped my two tickets as well a few days ago. Regardless of schedule and the amount of games I will be able to attend, its worth it to me to show support for our staff, players, and University. Go Zips.

SC finished the year ranked #23 and beat Clemson and Tennessee. I would expect them to continue on a similar trajectory if not improve.

Thanks for making the facts clear. A few things stink about the schedule. Complain about it? Sure. Blaming Guthrie is misplaced though.

5 home games again. Bleh.

Nice win. D needs to tighten up and we need more out of the supporting cast, however.

Awesome job by those 3. Everybody else, not so much.

Sammy Hunter!!!

Looks like we have our answer.

Don't forget about Dawson. He might have been here the year before Tribble, honestly can't remember.

Senior night, right? Does Enrique walk?

We’re making Shumate look too good down low.

Defense can only keep us in it for so long..

I enjoy comfortable wins.

What a dunk by Nate Johnson!

Haven’t noticed him either.

Nate Johnson breakout game! Clarke plays some real nice games then some real duds.

With the spring roster updates (losing Logan Hawkins who I believe wasn't out of eligibility but walked for senior day, Caleb Herring (OL), Adetutu Daranjo (S), Ryan McClain (OLB), and Brycen Yarmo (TE), I have us down to 82 scholarship players. I'm sure there will be a couple additional leave after spring ball. Our biggest loss thus far to the portal was Tristian Brank. The staff has done a really good job retaining the talent we have on the roster, and we should have 5-6 scholarships to use in the 2nd portal period. With those numbers along with another wave of players who hit after they realize they aren't part of the team's future the upcoming season, I feel really good about the staff addressing the few remaining holes we have, which I would address by adding 2 DE, 1 OL, 1 CB, and maybe 1 LB.

You rock @catdaddyp. Really enjoy you bringing other conference members' recruits into the discussion so we can gauge how they're doing and how we stack up.

Nobody in the MAC is beating OU tonight the way they are shooting, but it sure would be nice to get offensive contributions from literally anyone outside of X and Freeman.

We’re falling apart.

How can you call a foul on both players for one, and if it is a foul on both players, why didn’t we get the free throw?!?
