Dabulls

Making terrible plays but then puts us within 5 😂

Why do we never play Skogman?

Hardnett is god awful

Absolutely awful start

Should be a great game! Thankfully we will have a healthy lineup going into the game. Turner will be hard to stop but Ball State found ways to neutralize him. If we can slow down Turner I believe we will come away with a win. I don’t believe Swindle will be able to cover Mballa all to well so BGs paint presence shouldn’t be too much of a worry

Ball State is currently crushing BG

Great win! Had to shake off the rust but took control in the second half. Three point shooting was far better and Mballa continues to terrorize the league. Can’t wait for the next game

I wonder if he was the one with covid, with his heart condition I was wondering if he went home or something. Glad he’s there at least

Where is skogman?

The new assistant coach has deep connections in JUCO, helped bring in Brewton and Zachary. I believe we will find some great Juco players. We always seem to find some good transfers and Quarles seems to do a good job at finding them. It’s hard to tell if a great HS player will translate well at the college level.

Next Saturday

I wonder if he was the one who caught covid and decided to head home? All the best to him

Malik has been cleared according to his Snapchat

He was offered by Cuse

They do have the second best run defense in the country, keep trying to pound yards though!

Syracuse is hit or miss this season, if they are cold they could easily be beat but if players like Girard, Boeheim and Griffin have a good game we are in for some trouble. It’s going to be hard to penetrate their zone and we will need to hit some threes. Rebounding will be key as well Mballa, Bertram, Hardnett and possibly Skogman will be put to the test against another great rebounding team. I’m confident we can upset Cuse, if they go cold from the arc.

Trigger happy, give him a few games and he’ll be fine, just a bit tight. Possibly a bit jittery with the new team

Forcing shots like crazy, hope he’ll settle down soon

Mballa is available, just not starting. May limit his play

Hope all goes well for him! Thankfully we do not have to pause our operations, I trust Thorpe will lead us to victory tomorrow

He seems to be getting a ton of support from his teammates, hopefully everything plays out alright

Is Mballa good to go for next game? Any word?

I’m not really mad at the last two games after seeing K state get beat by a d2 team, let’s beat Mercyhurst and a weak Miami team! If we drop any of the next two games then I’m fully on board for firing Whitesell

His video on YouTube has him hitting crazy contested threes, pretty good chance he will hit open ones 😂
