Season ticket holders should be given the option to opt out of any regular season non-D1 games at a pro-rated discount. I get it for exhibitions but it’s bull**** to be filling the regular season with non-D1s.

Any idea if it’s bracket style, or will the two teams be pre-determined?

First Iowa and now this. Guess this is our scheduling reality now.

Feel like as P6s focus more and more on the transfer portal to fill their rosters, we may have a shot at these HS guys in the 75-150 ranking range. Especially if Schertz shows a willingness to play freshmen. With the caveat being we probably have to be ok with them transferring “up” after one or two good seasons.

Can we all at least agree that relying on Thames to be any sort of contributor would be foolish? I hope he’s somehow able to play a role on this team, but if I have to hear next spring Thames being out was a reason we stunk again, I might lose my mind. Go into the season expecting he won’t play, and any actual contribution is house money.

Yes

My understanding, from what I’ve heard, is that if we wanted Walsh, we would’ve gotten Walsh. Someone can correct me if that’s wrong.

Didn’t watch the whole game last night, but one defensive possession Goodwin tied up Edwards going to the hoop for a held ball, then Edwards tipped the resulting jump ball out of bounds for Laker possession. Good to see Jordan has kept that fire. Redick seems to appreciate it.

The regular season D2/NAIA games are bulls***. Not one fan wants to see that. I know our schedule isn’t going to be packed with quality teams but regular season games should be against D1 opposition, or fans should be given the opportunity to opt out of Non-D1 games for their season tickets.

This is not a giant bracket tournament. We will almost surely not be grouped with Loyola.

I also would be in favor of him coming back, but we’d have to keep in mind there’d be a good chance we lose 1 or 2 transfers currently committed that were expecting big minutes in a ball handling role. Still, if he were eligible and wanted to return, I’d have a really tough time turning him down and watching him play elsewhere… so I think you obviously take him, even if it meant losing three years of Green. Don’t blame Isaiah one bit… his earning potential in NIL has to be higher than what he could make overseas, so he’s gotta at least explore it. But these lawsuits are getting more and more ridiculous. I hope they draw a line in the sand on this one.

Glad to see Schertz picking up some more guys with more than a year of eligibility remaining. Impressive portal work

Any update on Sharma?

Loyola Marymount was a home and home? Just brutal. We’ve fallen so far. do we not have Illinois state at home?

Twitter saying he’d need former D2 players to be granted an extra year of eligibility to have any left… if that happens does that mean Swope has another year?

There needs to be either more focus on fitness/conditioning, or a conscious effort to recruit/develop more depth. Our guys were routinely gassed by the end of games, Robbie specifically.

Sounds like Chris May has been earning his money! (Is blue font necessary?)

Gotta play a ranked team to beat one. Have we had any more scheduling news? BYU was supposed to be in that Diamond Head but that got canned.

We lost a ton of production, just not to the transfer portal. Without further additions, does anyone actually think our roster is stronger than it was going into this season? hoping for some more additions.

So are these two the “big” news that BVF and Chris May were referring to? That would be pretty on brand.

Another European failure. Thank God we didn’t run off Vouyoukas after his first season.

Don’t we have four committed? None of them move the needle enough for me to justify that tweet

Hopefully a bonafide star. Surely we can afford at least one. Optimistic about the transfers so far but I don’t think we’ve found our Jimerson or Swope yet.

I doubt Otieno came cheap, but I agree, we need a couple big time scorers that can do it at the A10 level.

40% from deep and 5 apg. Here’s our Swope replacement hopefully
