Explain this please. Dukes are on our heels and we want them to beat UMass?

I wasn’t agreeing with Pickett haters. I like Javon. He has been hurt and we will need him back to form for a late push. Just say ing don’t put Crawford in with those other stiffs.

Ease up on Mike Crawford. Kid averaged double digits his last 2 seasons and turned into a pretty good dunker.

We recruited him out of HS. Tate played with his dad who was also an assistant on Tate’s staff at MAC.

I’m confused why Yuri didn’t have the ball in his hands against the pressure. That is exactly when you want your dominant pg to have the ball. Quoting Yuri from an article earlier in the season, “Just go get it”. He didn’t. I like JP bringing up the ball on occasion to get his but not against mad pressure. He was getting mauled all night. Then Okoro not getting fed in the 2nd half is puzzling. How about a pick for Gibby? Bad game. We can still win the conference and hang a banner. Show up and support on Friday. Go Bills.

Old Guy is starting his own board, statingtheobvious.com. His ban will probably be lifted eventually but he will only post on his new site.

Pretty sure pickleball was invented and 1st played behind Humphrey’s after penny pitchers.

Southwest is back to normal. It’s fine. Charlotte airport has a new southwest terminal that’s nice. Went to the game last year and it got pretty chippy with their fans. We got destroyed which didn’t help. We’ve never won there. We’re do. Hit the Brickhouse bar for pregame.

When you google MLP, you get my little pony.

Covid is more severe in the immunosuppressed and mid-majors.

Conference is a grind. You take every road win by any number and move on. JC, reading this board you would think we lost by 20.

You should never go under screens in man unless you are switching.

Is JP hurt? I can’t even see him on the bench.

“You can call me Al” is my all time fav. Always reminds me of Bills basketball. When I yell/hum the 1st 4 notes in the summer, my wife is like, “Nope. It’s not November yet”.

I think it Sincere Parker getting 30 minutes will be a nice surprise.

We thought we'd have Perk with a nice compliment of Pickett this year and obviously Perk is not up to speed. Pickett has been a beast and him getting his second foul early hurt. We could have used him to try stop the bleeding. Okoro needs to try and dunk everything. It either goes in or he gets fouled and he can shoot free throws. I don't get his regression. Yuri and Gibby are playing their ass off but when our 5'11' point guard has to try and win the game every game, we are in trouble. FTJ is having his best year in my opinion. This team needs to find the toughness that JGood, French and even Linssen had. That being said, there are a couple games in front of us to right the ship. I think people are underestimating Boise because we beat them on the road last year. It was in OT and we kinda got lucky. They are 7-2 with multiple quality wins. Lock in and run this noncon at home and hopefully Perk is back getting buckets by league play. Go Bills.

Our defense is weak. commence board meltdown…

I think Parker is instant offense and looks comfortable out there. He just needs to play and when he does, get him the ball. He is averaging 6pts in 13 minutes. But who sits? He will be a complete stud next year and will probably drop a couple 20 point games this year.

Nope. Heard of the NET?

JP was definitely favoring his ankle. Yes, he has his unique swagger but it was just exacerbated by his ankle injury. His lateral movement was very limited. That being said, this will get better daily and kid still dropped 21. Watch out.

You could tell Perkins was favoring his ankle.

Sounds like at least a couple of our guys are under the weather.

Yuri had some very prominent StL basketball personalities advise him to stay.

We don’t know who backed up Yuri. How are we going to beat that dead horse now?

Enough with “not counting” D2 games. If it’s on the schedule, it counts toward the record. Yes, it might not count in the NET but bet your ass it would factor in if you lost in the eyes of the committee.
