Hunter leading all scorers with 11 at the half. Nice to see Kobe hit a 3 and he played some good D on a few positions. Lyles hasn't played yet. Another random observation as I was sitting through another ugly start to a game - we only have 3 players from last year's team that contributed.

At least from my point of view, its because we knew we were going to get contributions from Freeman and X, but somebody else has to step up to be that go-to 3rd guy, or even a guy that can go off on any given night. Outside of a few games from Tavari, we haven't really gotten it from anyone. If he can do it consistently or some of the other players start to show some real promise, I don't think we make it past the semis in Cleveland.

Gray in the portal. Posting tweet not working for me either.

Trying to get excited about this commit, but him recording zero stats in 2022 for a G5 (granted high powered passing G5 with good WRs) leaves me with questions I can’t find answers to. Seems like he did show a little something as a redshirt freshman though and had some pretty nice offers in HS. Also when I see a player doing pretty well at WKU who used to play for the Zips (Michael Mathison), and him not doing anything just feels kind of meh.

I think saying he is not signed is speculative.

I don’t know if it means anything or not, but everything on Coach Debo’s Twitter profile (which he is active on) still points to him being at Akron.

This game annoys me. Horrible flow thanks to the refs, peed down our leg at the end, yet we still probably win with X. This team still has a long ways to go with all that said. Need some guys to be something other than a body out there, at least show some flashes.

Could we have played any worse to close this out?

Use your head Tavari!!

Tavari has all the talent in the world but these freshman mistakes are killers right now

How is there a technical foul on Freeman AND a foul on Sparks on that play?

Jesus enough stoppages.

Ball State’s panties are in a bunch. You aren’t playing Toledo tonight fellas! We like to play defense.

Man these refs are calling everything tight. At least is seems to be consistent on both ends I guess.

Keep attacking Sparks.

Ok Tavari. Let’s keep it rolling!

nice minutes from Lyles.

Really hope Tavari finds a way to get out of this slump he's been in. We need him to get back to how he was playing at the beginning of the year, especially while X and Clarke are out.

When does spring semester start? Figure you want to get all the guys here for spring ball that you can, though probably not an end all be all. George didn’t join til summer last year and I don’t think Holt and Thompson were either. Probably a few other contributors I’m missing too. regardless, you’d hope/expect a few other commitments this weekend.

Taking Zips moneyline tonight since it seems like X is playing. I trust you guys that Ball State is improved, but until they prove they can beat us, I’m taking the Zips.

especially when transfer DL are still a need, I'd think.

Still need probably 2 more transfer CBs to make me feel OK about depth!

Dammit.

Thats what I figured. He sure is milking that one.

Just listened to the post game presser. It’s 2023, why is George Thomas still not attending the games? Why does ABJ allow that?
