  1. This sounds like something that a Buffalo Sabres GM would say. The reality is that games have evolved. You don’t have to lick your finger and put it to the wind to make decisions anymore. Coaches tend to go for the more risk averse option. The qualifier there being on sports radio. In reality, the decision to run a certain play (or to run a play at all) and the execution of certain plays are two completely separate clauses. Many times there are bad decisions run with good results, that does not make the decision to run that play any better in hindsight.
  2. So since I have a data analytics background, I should only criticize coaches for the act of not going for it on 4th & 1, but not criticize their play call? I’m fine with that assessment if they stop punting or kicking on 4th & 1.
  3. Justin Turner goes in the portal. Back to the cellar, Falcons.
  4. We saw Brock get a decent amount of minutes this year despite not being a ton improved since last year.
  5. Anybody know if we have any players (men or women) that are playing overseas currently? Specifically Italy?
  6. Of the players that we saw this year I'm most worried about Gallion. It's clear that he has a level of talent that will help us win, I just hope he isn't impatient and wants to get a ton of minutes right away.
  7. Unless there's no Brock and no Fagan, I don't know if he gets a ton of minutes if he comes here.
  8. On paper, we're loaded. Just need to perform. When Hurley left, we weren't loaded and brought in a low ranked recruit. Went to the tournament more years than not and that recruit almost broke the scoring record.
  9. They could give him an associate HC job. Would technically be a promotion.
  10. Probably don't want it to crash and burn, but that's good to know if it's true.
  11. Despite the rough stretches this season, I think we'll be contending with Ohio for the East next year. The combination of Fair and Hemphill will make our offense more resembling the Dillard/Hemphill offense that we saw last year. I can realistically see OU, CMU, and UB in the tournament in 2021.
  12. I'm going to be unbearable in Cleveland if one or both teams win next year. If you see a giant banner hanging from the second level of Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse with BACK TO BACK TO BACK or BACK TO BACK while Whitesell or FLJ cut down nets you know who is responsible.
  13. Would suck if he transferred and we didn't give him a senior day. He's been a part of the team for 4 years.
  14. Jokes on me they had more fans than us and beat us
  15. If Hudson was on the team she'd find a way to bail them out even down double digits. Ball State lost as well.
  16. NBA shut down, I doubt this tournament is completed. Nebraska coach left the game ill.
  17. STAINBOOK STAINBROOK Not sure how much of a role it played, but maybe we wouldn't have gotten Mballa? Brock plays 30 minutes a game, we don't redshirt Skogman? Maybe we win 15 games? 12? Men's and women's were under the same ticket if that's what you're asking. Students free. I think it's building culture. I was in the band. My freshman year 2011-12, we would stand until the first points of the game were scored, then sit down and go on our phones, especially for women's games. THOSE were a snooze fest. White comes in and sells a ton of media timeout promos, we get less playing time, we lose even more interest. Then the team starts winning. Coach Jack comes in and brings more of an explosion of energy than a spark of energy. Band starts standing the entire game for both games, even cheering on the women's team. Ask a current band member if they've ever sat for a basketball game, they'll say yes because you're required to sit in the NCAA tournament, but at Alumni Arena no. What changed? We weren't told to stand. Somebody along the way must have realized that games were more fun when you are as into it as the team is. Somebody in True Blue needs to start making some noise. It used to be you couldn't even tell cheerleaders were there. Maybe next year if I have enough of it I'll go down there and be obnoxious.
  18. Wow sucks for the five Kent State fans that were planning on attending.
  19. Dyaisha being named second team is about as big of a snub as Reid being named second team a few years ago
  20. Oh my god that game was so much fun. I remember not being able to connect to the WiFi and not being able to hear when I was leaving. It’s bad that I could tell which game that was before even looking at the scoreboard 😅
  21. He definitely brings energy to the court. Looking forward to see him get more minutes next year.
  22. I don’t blame people for not showing up, I blame students for not being loud. I am glad that we had a full student section, and I would absolutely take that over an empty student section, but I wish we had the intimidating atmosphere we had before. I’d argue last year it was similar. Large crowd, not as loud as it could have been.
