Another game we get our butts whipped on the boards, if a team we play has size forget it we struggle
Against us yes, always is. Against WC not so much. He was 3-14.

Absolute shame we wasted that shooting performance with all those turnovers. Lost on road at two of top three teams. Can we hold serve at home?

If we shoot 53% for the game and 56% from 3 and MR has 24 points and 10 boards you would think we win if not easily. As coach said TO's and poor defense keyed the loss. To tell you the truth I am not looking forward to the game next Saturday at WC.

Coach Richey said the problem was defensive breakdowns, causing too many transition points. We lost a couple on the road, gotta play well in Hell next week against Woffy then defend Timmons.

Expected to see more out of Jalen Williams this year, but he's gotten very little playing time. Next year will be rough if we don't find a Rafferty clone.
We said that 2 years ago when we lost Croone
We said that last year when we lost Sibley

This staff keeps developing players. If Gurley shows half as much improvement as Mounce, Clark and Hunter we will be fine.

No shame in losing to UNCG at their place, but 21 turnovers was bad. Wasted a great shooting night.

We have our 3 toughest SoCon games in the first rotation through the league @ETSU @UNCG and @Wofford. If we go 6-3 in our first pass through the league we could go undefeated in the second half. Not likely but possible. I still say 12-6 in the league is a good year.
