As usual we’re on the same page.

I'd say that they need to: - Limit defensive breakdowns that result in EASY baskets - we've seen far too many cupcake baskets for our opponents. They will happen over 40 minutes, but they need to be few and far between, especially tonight. - Improved shooting overall, including free throws - this starts with some easy transition baskets that result from solid D, followed by good ball movement passing up the good shot for the better shot, finishing at the basket when we get there (I don't know how many <3' shots have been missed this year, but Jordan rarely missed those in year's past and has missed many lately, among others). - Play as a team, playing with and FOR each other, not worrying about who is the guy who gets it done, just that it gets done. This probably should be #1, as #2 and #3 probably take place due to this one.

The XFL is the practice squad

Eff Akron and their obnoxious fans. Their sense of entitlement is beyond compare. With that said it’s pretty clear they and BG are the clear top 2 teams in conference. Toledo beat them by shooting lights out in a shoot out. Our guys will need to be sharp from deep and Jordan will have to get back to his MAC defensive player of the year play which is asking a lot when so much else Is being asked of him.

Do agree wholeheartedly. The last 4/5 years have been fantastic with all our success in Cleveland and the NCAA’s. Due to that scenario expectations were very high or there was hope there would not be a big drop off. The hope was Johnson and Grant would step in and give us immediate contributions, Hardnett and Nickelberry would replace Harris in some fashion, we would see immediate improvement from Segu and Williams and Jordan and/or Graves would become our true leaders and be our go to players, somehow Bertram and Fagan would contribute even though they had very little playing time since they were here, and we were not even sure if Mballa would be eligible even though he had limited playing time at TT. Again losing the main cogs of our team we have to exercise some patience and try to enjoy this team for what it is. There continues to be some improvement along with inconsistencies and our family will continue to support this team and be there every step of the way. Go Bulls!!!

I think there is a 9th team that serves as a practice squad for all the teams.
