Slu let the dogs out? Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 3 hours ago, TheA_Bomb said: @thetorch I'm loving the passion and I feel the same frustrations, I just think your solution is off. Winning cures all things and a drop in conference may help with winning short term but it will be an overall negative. This. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 (or 366) days a year. The panacea for our ills is winning. Lots and lots of winning. Seems easy, let's do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Utah collective is giving each of the 85 scholarship football players a leased truck. Truck retails for 60K. It's clever as leases terminate every 6 months. The collective has 3 mil. Looking to double that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Boy, the NCAA is taking its sweet time on deciding if Bradley Ezewiro plays or sits. Has to be tough on the player, the first exhibition game is just 2 weeks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be tough on the player, the first exhibition game is just 2 weeks away. They reversed their decision on UNC's FB, Tez Walker 5 games into the season then released a snarky statement. "UNC's behavior and decision to wage a public relations campaign is inappropriate and outside the bounds of the process UNC's own staff supported. Had the UNC staff not behaved in this fashion and submitted this information weeks ago, this entire unfortunate episode could have been avoided." -NCAA That organization is bereft of competence and hastening their own demise. So don't expect anything soon, ever or logical from the NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compton Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 It'd be good to have him back by the Utah State game on 11/28. They have transfers coming in from Oregon and Washington at 7' and 6' 10" respectively, that we'll want options/depth for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremio14 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 3 minutes ago, willie said: Nope Travis said that this morning. Maybe we are actually going to try and run. Yep, I heard Travis a week ago state (I’m paraphrasing a bit) “we are going to press, press and press some more. Press and trap. Almost every time the opponent has the ball. And TJ will play a large amount of time at the 5. Will be an heck of a match up problem for opponents bigs. Our strengths are the 1, 2 and 3…Meadows is an amazing player, will be the primary 1.” Travis had a UMass team that played this way. Beat a bunch of blue bloods. Made the semi-finals of the NIT I believe. wgstl and BLIKNS like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to kenpom.com, we may finish higher in the A10 than many people thought! Our 115 is 7th in the A10. Bad news: if kenpom.com is close to accurate, the A10 is a one bid league (again). Plan on trying to win the A10 tournament if you want to go to the NCAA. Kenpom.com’s view of the A10: Dayton-69 St Bonnie-70 Loy-Chi-75 VCU-86 Duq-89 St Joe’s-104 St Louis-115 Richmond-126 Davidson-152 Fordham-163 George Mason-164 URI-193 LaSalle-200 UMass-210 GW-217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Stef van Bussel is practicing after being out for 3 months following an operation. Don’t sleep on our new Serbian guard, Curcic. Yes it is going to be crowded on the wings but he can shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
