First off, welcome to the fan base! You are right about Skogman for future seasons but that’s about it as far as a real post player goes and even he wants to shoot 3s often. A really interesting freshman prospect is Dishon Jackson, only has 3 offers. There are also plenty of talented big men at the JUCO level like Gaige Prim who we just played on Missouri State. They’ll find their guy for sure

Yup. If Brock leaves then we have 2 more open scholarships to fill. Personally I think one should go to a long, athletic wing like Jeenathan. The other should go to a big-bodied Center like when Perkins first came to UB. We desperately need a bully in the paint

He developed a lot in the off season, it’ll be nice to have him back

Nervous about how they’ll stop Nathan Knight

Currently unable to watch this game because I’m busy but will I be able to rewatch it on ESPN+ despite it not playing on there right now?

They look like coach just told them they’re running sprints for the whole next practice

Central Michigan with another HUGE win over D2 Trinity Christian, looking forward to watching them play Amherst high school next weekend!

He provides something a lot of mid majors wish they had and that’s a true 4 with length that should be played next to a true 5. That’s how we can establish ourselves as a top mid major once again

Noticed it immediately and really liked that. Earned respect from me (not that that matters) and I’m now very happy watching them beat Xavier for multiple reasons but mostly because them beating us and going on to have a great season only helps to make us look better for playing them so closely

Have we ever considered having Mballa and Hardnett out there at the same time?

Can’t wait for Brock to be back so that we can have some more post depth because I get nervous every time Mballa has to go 1 on 1 defensively. Every foul he gets is huge

Does anyone know if the redshirt rule for basketball is different than football? I’m pretty sure in football they can play a game or two and still redshirt

I’m assuming since Skogman saw zero minutes last night when we could’ve used his size that he is definitely redshirting, Brock should be back in time for conference games

Regardless of the outcome, this is a very talented, potential top 25 team and we gave them a hell of a game despite the early foul trouble.

Not to be that guy but these refs are the absolute worst

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Big men get winded a lot quicker than guards do, hopefully we can keep running and get them all gassed

Funny what happens when Central Michigan actually plays a D1 team. Getting blown out at halftime

...what?

No I completely agree with that as well. From a business standpoint it would benefit them to have a dedicated recreation center built that they can load up with event promotions. Students that are willing to take the time to work out also are likely to have an interest in other things to do around campus like the various sporting events

I haven’t seen that being done at all, probably right with the field house being used for that. Imagine the level of recruits we’d be able to attract once the team gets a dedicated practice space for them that they can access 24/7. If we’re bringing in 3 and 4 stars without that dedicated space just imagine.

Definitely agree with them making progress, there’s also a lot of room for improvement and that starts with making AA sports only

This is a grown man acting like this everybody. Take that one in

Saw the SBU crowd firsthand. There were about 15 fans there, Olean really showed out!

I really hope this happens. Makes the most financial sense and Alumni has the bones to be a truly state-of-the-art facility once it gets renovated and doesn’t have prison cinderblock walls everywhere

Glad to hear the broadcast was good, I was at the game and didn’t hear it but watched the Furman V Alabama game last night on ESPN+ and the announcers talked like Alabama was the best team to ever step on a basketball court. Zero talk of how well Furman was playing
