  1. There were some rumors in the offseason that we would have some alternate uniforms this season. I think a black or grey uni was mentioned as well as a throwback with the blue, white, and red uni. Anyone know if this is still happening this season?
  2. We are now ranked 4th in defense by Pomeroy. We're falling apart.
  3. Palm has us out as of today. He's always a pretty big idiot though so I won't read much into it. And the season still has 2 months to go. I guess his reasoning though is that we only have 1 win vs the top 75 and 2 wins vs the top 100. That obviously doesn't get you in the tournament come March, but long way to go and lots of wins to pick up. Hopefully we start to pick up some good wins though. I think the Indiana St win is being a little overhyped on this board right now. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology
  4. Leaving today on a charter flight
  5. Agree with just about everything you said. A couple of my own thoughts - I really expected Dwayne to play at like an All American type level. At least consideration for All American. I haven't seen that this season. Don't give me his averages or anything like that. If you think he's playing at the level he did last year, you're just wrong. Some of it is that we can't get anything open for him. Some of it is that he's pressing too much and I I just simply think he isn't playing that well. That being said, in his first 3 years, he's really turned his game on in A10 play so let's hope for that again. - I expected McCall to play much better. I thought him and Jordair would battle it out for spots on the A10 1st or 2nd teams but from what I've seen from Mike this year, I don't know if that will happen. Now his defense has been outstanding. Not sure of other's opinion on here, but I think he might be better defensively than Jordair. But offensively, he's almost disappeared even more than he did last year when Kwamain came back. His shooting percentages are down. I think he can turn it around, but it's hard to identify the problem right now. - I've been pleased with Rob and Jordair. I think they're both playing better as of late and Rob always plays a bit better in conference season. Jordair has done a great job of distributing the ball this season and as someone mentioned yesterday, his passing has really helped us break the zone defenses. - Jake. Not much to say. I think he's playing out of his role right now. I see him as a 10-15 minutes a game guy who comes in and is a 3 point threat. I just want him to be a threat from the perimeter. I think at some points, Vandy was actually sagging off him when he got the ball daring him to shoot. I hope that Jake's good games come against the better teams in the conference rather than him scoring like 13 points in a 28 point win over Fordham. - McBroom has been better as the season goes on. His defense has gotten better. I know he isn't the strongest guy, but there's no reason for someone to blow by him based on speed. Offensively, he's by far our best shooter right now. He needs more minutes. Still want the McBroom, Jett, McCall lineup for a couple stretches each game. - Glaze. I agree with everything others have said. Needs to be more in control - Manning. Good enough to come in for Rob each half and not screw everything up. Agbeko will see the most time down the stretch I would guess. - Our defense will win us games and keep us in games where our offense disappears. Just need to stay consistent there. - Our A10 schedule is backloaded. We can't afford to throw away games early in the conference season. I think a 1-1 trip here to start is the absolute minimum. With our 2nd half schedule, we can't afford to be 0-2 to start conference play. - I'm for more negativity in the GDT. - And I believe that while I think we have a better record at this point than we did last year, I think we have a lot of work to do to finish where we did last season. I'm going to guess 6 seed and Sweet 16 though.
  6. Oregon is 10th in the AP Poll
  7. URI is better than they've played this season. They are closer to how they played yesterday. Doesn't matter. We'll win Tuesday. (assuming we are able to fly out there at some point.)
  8. The team is leaving for URI late tonight or tomorrow and won't be on campus until next Sunday. So I don't think he'll be visiting any time soon.
  9. Remember though guys. Not so negative in the GDT
  10. Zone. We suck. Nothing to change though because we're 12-2
  11. Guy in front of me to his 3 or 4 gear old daughter "why is Jake Barnett starting?" " who's Jake Barnett?" " he's number 30. Don't worry about him. He's not very good"
  12. Well I don't know who's here. I might be delirious
  13. He's here. Guess he can't do radio but he's so tough he can do SLU games.
  14. Unfortunately I agree. I think it really helps once he starts talking to the recruits but I don't know that it is as attention grabbing as some make it out to be
  15. For sure. But we need to get him in campus very soon. We play in Rhode Island Tuesday and we're staying on the road for Dayton next Saturday so I'd say Saturday and Sunday might be our only chances to bring him in. Unless he's visited already and went unreported because it was so local
  16. Heard on the radio this morning that Guy Phillips had some type of surgery and wouldn't be back on the air until the end of the month.
  17. Barnett is graduated already. Get him some graduate academic scholarship and give his athletic scholarship to one of those guys.
  18. We already have 5 freshmen next season, possibly 6 if we fill the last scholarship with a high school senior. No reason to redshirt someone this year and make that class even bigger
  19. You can have JB in there for 5-10 minutes though right?
