Careful, 2024, optimism is frowned upon around these parts 😉

dont mind me, just here to make lemonade (tricky task with this group !) We lost in a close game, AT PITT. which is historically, and STILL is a tough place to play. (FYI - we covered, again. 3-1 ATS). I realize Pitt is down ...but did anyone REALLY have a "W" pencilled in AT PITT (if so, lol....you are in for a looong year). 2021 - not 100% sure of my exact quote, but stand by the thesis: we got several guys that CAN get 15 on any night (not avg, that would be a dream). its a small sample size, but you should be able to see the skill level & ability of the guys that can: Holden, Nolan, Timber, Gibson (cant imagine you'd argue with those 4); and with a decent 3 ball/free throw night, you can add Rizz, Gray, and CT???? I'm just saying, GREAT balance here, like we got good players. some in the past were just painful to watch. weight lifters and not ballers. I wasn't arnd for the Benimon years (have seen highlights,..MONSTA !) - but you gotta like this team more than any since him....no? and AtlantaTiger; looks like I'm gonna need to add vodka to your lemonade (and/or assist w/ the dump in yur pants): The entire board is talking about improved talent (coaches apparently hit the transfer wire hard) and ball movement/pace-of-play and you wanna blame the coach after losing AT PITT. 4 games in, conf play yet to start.....hang in there, they aint gonna win'm all, but its gonna be a fun team that will be well north of their pre-season conf ranking. if anyone needs some positivity arnd the holidayz....i'm be here. and (may not surprise you), i like our chances v UPENN !

I had heard the previous New Mexico staff had promised Skerry a steak dinner in Vegas for the Zane trade but now with Pitino in charge no gifts of any sorts to be accepted by Towson.

We should have won this game but due to the same ole same ole (FTs and poor 3 pt shooting) we left a win on the table. Most admit this team does look more prolific in terms of passing and athleticism then Skerry squads in the past. Interested to see how the season pans out. But with past history, I can see us flaming out in the end. Maybe I'll be proven wrong this time around but who knows..

This game is going to be awful. I hate to admit defeat before the game even starts, but it is what it is. I can’t stand JMU and their fans so losing to them always stings just that much more.

SOPS. Pitt is awful and we still lost. 4 games in but it only looks like 1 of the 3 (impact) transfers is living up to the hype. Holden is legit. Won’t use the players name as to not be mean, but 1 just likes to chuck up shots left and right. He does seem to make some good passes which is a plus. But man the early regression in the transfers and returners on the offensive end is frightening. It gets more difficult to score the further you get in the season during conference play Sorry 2024 only see two players that could average more than 12 per game on this team, one cause he’s good. The other just due to minutes. 3-4 others in the 6-9 ppg window Agee with your view on Pat. But this is one of the better non conference schedules. We are playing a lot of teams that are winnable games but no real gimmes like in years past. Monmouth looks good, USF, Ohio state, uncg are also good. Penn is always solid. Kent isn’t bad. Thankfully we aren’t stuck playing d3 and Morgan Loyola umbc teams like in the past

My first opportunity to watch this year's squad. Clearly there's an improved level of talent, athleticism and team chemistry up and down the roster. Unfortunately, it's still a Pat Skerry led team. A good number of games we win this season will be because we'll have the superior talent on the floor, not because we have superior coaching. In how many games will we have the coaching advantage? Winning IN SPITE of your coaching and not BECAUSE of your coaching is a problem. (This applies to Towson football too.) This was a game we should have won. Pitt was ripe for the picking. I'm actually NOT laying this loss at the feet of Pat. If our team hits a handful more free throws, if they hit a couple more of their insane number of 3's, we win the game. However, it does beg the question, how come Pat Skerry teams are historically woeful at the free throw line? How come launching ill-advised 3s is a Pat Skerry-approved strategy? In what's a pretty underwhelming non-conference schedule this would have been the marquee win and we couldn't close the deal. I think this team will provide a lot of fun moments over the course of the season but Pat Skerry has more than proved himself to be a subpar HC at this level. I have no faith in him.

Good riddance

This is bullish for Towson athletics
