Re: MBB Game 14 Charleston, Jan 4 (Thu), 7 PM

After a pretty lackluster OOC, this team needs to find another gear. Speedy & Co. have been talking a big game about how they're doing great will be just fine and all that other coach speak. Well let's see it. We've heard all the excuses - I don't want to hear one thing about refs, travel, injur...

Re: MBB Game 13 @ St. John's (UBS Arena), Dec 30 (Sat), 12 Noon

Combo I'd say - in fact, I think that's a bit high based on what we've seen from both. I'd give it about 25% myself. Agree HUSID that Duke is of course a different animal, and I can live with that L. Oddly enough that was a game HU played really well in the first half, including handling their press...

Re: MBB Game 13 @ St. John's (UBS Arena), Dec 30 (Sat), 12 Noon

I mean that's what every team is doing to HU because they still can't handle it. And every team should until HU shows it can man up. As I noted in the UNLV thread, the playbook to beat this team is way too easy right now. Again, I've wondered what exactly was done in the offseason to get better? All...

Re: MBB Game 12 @ UNLV, Dec 21 (Thu), 10 PM EST

Glad to hear you were able to attend and represent HM. Certainly a huge issue when TT doesn't hit his shots. The thing is, I'm not so sure it's rare - TT is not an efficient shooter at all, quite the opposite, and has had a few games now where he hasn't shot well - that's not really an anomaly anymo...

Re: HU MBB Transfers Out

I liked the kid a lot... unsure if it was his decision or HU's, and whether it was a missed eval, or a parting of ways, either one side or both. Best wishes for him though, solid skill and size with a lot of potential.

Not bad at all - not too hard, not too weak, very winnable. This needs to be the year.

Uuugghhhh noooo! Aahhhh that stinks (for us lol) Congrats to him of course certainly well earned!

Re: MBB Game 12 @ UNLV, Dec 21 (Thu), 10 PM EST

Next day... still feels sucky. Disappointed in this team and the staff. I do not see the sustained improvement I expected from this team and the OOC is nearly done. Yet to grab a true good win vs a team with an actual pulse. Hope they find a way to elevate for this final one vs SJU. You said it best...

Re: MBB Game 13 @ St. John's (UBS Arena), Dec 30 (Sat), 12 Noon

Well, can't say I'm as excited as I was to start the year to drop 70 bucks to watch this team play the crappy way it's been playing. But I'll be there with a crew, and going to hope they get their act together and actually play a full game of basketball to give themselves at least a chance at a W vs...

Re: MBB Game 12 @ UNLV, Dec 21 (Thu), 10 PM EST

Turned it off with a few min left, lost interest and very unimpressed. Will hold my full comments until I've had a night to sleep on it - been trying to work that approach in this year, has gone much better for me lol.

Needless to say, things are not good with this team.

Re: MBB Game 11 Norfolk State, Dec 16 (Sat), 2 PM EST

Great stat wags, 60 one is pretty obvious to me as nearly any team should have a super record holding that low, but the 70 one is a bit more meaningful to me as that number is much more common - I really appreciate that this program really values D under Speedy As for the game, good to get the win a...

Re: MBB Game 11 Norfolk State, Dec 16 (Sat), 2 PM EST

Average to below average opponent. Will be interesting to see how the team responds to this bad tv loss, on the heels of another rough L to SLU... team is not really playing well right now, this is a game it needs to win against a low-ish opponent. Lose this and some real cause for concern. Unfortun...

Re: MBB Game 10 @ Duke, Dec 12 (Tue), 7 PM EST

Welp, strong first half, gave us something to root for - then an awful ending to first, and pretty atrocious second. Unfortunately ultimately got embarrassed on nat tv, not the outcome desired at all. Didn't expect a win of course, but you have to make it a competitive final, didn't even cover, and ...

So far super winnable schedule as expected... Yale the best so far. Imagine there will be one or two big dogs in there somewhere as it fills in.

HUSID out there doing the work HU should be doing for their fanbase, thank you sir!!! You misunderstood me Evan - I'm not talking about rankings, I'm talking about P5 "name" / media attention wins - HU is the laggard thus far in the CAA in that category. Which is not normally the case, as ...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Sears is their main dude, and he's absolutely going to be their go-to - AE has gone from Batman to Robin and has to make that adjustment consistently. Overall I think he's navigated pretty well, and has put up some nice stats and made his presence felt. But this is a different animal playing at that...

Re: MBB Game 10 @ Duke, Dec 12 (Tue), 7 PM EST

GAME DAY! Line and % are about what I would expect for this one... been figuring about a 10% shot here. IF HU can hit their shots and protect the ball, they will have a shot at a really good game. If their shots are off, if either TT or Dubar play hide and seek for a half, and/or if Fritz can't figu...
