I think we take this one and really hope we do.
Getting home wins is especially important during a bad year.

Like ULM? And CCU? This is basically a battle to stay out of last place. Since its at home, it could be a competitive game if we focus and try. I may actually tune in.

Respect the grind, especially in the face of the continued results

I didn't realize that! Might have to move some things around to make it tomorrow. Committed to meeting up with some friends before realizing what the game time was.

Picked 13th pre-season Sun Belt . Guard-oriented team that struggles defensively (last SB pts/game allowed, FG% defense, 3%-defense) and RBing (last RB margin). Good 3-pt shooting team (2nd 3s/g made, 3rd 3%). Take 27.3 3s/game (make 9.7). Main snipers are Jamar Franklin (53/90 FG attempts are 3s), Eren Banks (71/133), Nate Bradford (53/90), Malik Tidwell (50/91), Tyren Moore (105/ 218) and Eugene Brown (29/56)…pretty much everyone jacks 3s. 46.6% all FG attempts are 3s.

On coaches to be present, I would think Blaine & Oliver. Unfortunately, Paul, Jeff , and Sonny are deceased. My guess is Tom Young would not be there. Before that, I have know Idea.

Maybe we are talking about assistants & coaches, who are still coaching. Sorry

You are correct sir. Tom Young will not be there as he died nearly 2 years ago.

They went 0-12 OOC, wow is that crazy.

Good one!

And yet, we still have a good chance of losing. Feels bad.

They have 5 forwards that are above 6’7. If we get out rebounded we’re toast.

I’m really not sure how this ODU team can be favored against anybody. I’m not expecting any more wins this season. That’s how bad I think ODU is. Any win would be a surprise at this point. It’s not a talent thing. Although the talent needs to improve, all of the intangibles and things you can’t measure on Kenpom are as bad as they’ve ever been. There’s something to be said for having a plan and a philosophy and a chemistry so to speak. This team has nothing in that department. Any type of “intangible” is non existent with this group.
