Marshall blew a 7 point lead with 90 seconds left at UNC Wilmington last night. Would've been a very nice win. They started the year with wins AT both Umass and Toledo. But they also had an inexplicable blowout loss at home to Lipscomb. Regardless, this will be a good test. Also, we must beat the thundering Terd.

Stat that jumps out to me - they foul a ton against a schedule nowhere near ours in difficulty. Five games of 20+ fouls, three of 25+, and one of 30+. Opponents are averaging nearly 28 free throw attempts a game. I hope we can get into that ballpark with guys like Pav, Elliott, Kelly, and Hadaway pressing the issue. Gut feeling is that Simmons will be neutralized by their 7-4 center but maybe Breath can fare better.

BOLD prediction. JJ Kelly gets a block against the 7-4 guy.

Really?? You can't think that we have only played one good team.

Arkansas St, 6-3, picked 2nd in the Sun Belt

Illinois St., 7-2, picked 1st in the Missouri Valley

St. Mary's, 8-1, picked 2nd in the WCC (behind Gonzaga) and getting top 25 votes.

George Mason, 9-0, Co-champions of the Atlantic 10 last year, and getting votes for the top 25

Loyola Marymount, 7-3, WCC and on the Mid-Major Top 25 poll

We have three quad 1 losses on our schedule.
If you take a look at most other teams in our conference they have already played a couple teams that don't even count towards their net.

See y'all on Sat.
Beat Marshall at home and move on to the next game.
And, I think if Pav. has a big points game we win.

This is a game the team needs to win. We have lost 2 home games so far. We are a month into the season and now a bit healthier with Elliott and Breath back on the floor. Marshall is always a good measure of where we are. They recruit same region we are. No excuse about NIL. If Boals can't beat Marshall it is time to find a coach who can. We are now on game 9 and this is the 5th home game. We already lost to one Sun Belt team and a SWAC team at home. We have been home for a few days now and had some practices. No excuses for Boals. This team is a veteran team with enough d-1 experience. Sheldon has to step up. Four years in the program and in the rotation last three years. Hadaway, Simmons, Pavs multi year starters in MAC. This isn't a bunch of freshmen an sophmores. Conners and Beath experience too. Sense of urgency with this team. This is new month and time gto get things going.

You have to keep in mind b2000 is for some reason stuck in the late 90's in his head. Duke & Kansas obsession, a deep resentment of the 1998 Bobcats, and even calls to leave for conferences that don't even exist anymore.

3.5 point favorites, get your butt to the Convo today folks. #FlushTheTurd

Yes, beating Marshall would be "turning the corner" for this young team.

Boy it would be great to finish these guys off. Not very disciplined of Marshall to have all those tall guys get in foul trouble.

Props to the sideline reporter today, Lucy Schaeffer? Insightful, prepared, and 100% confident on camera.
