If you want a Towson equivalent elsewhere in the country, head to the home of Corporal Klinger. Toledo has had Tod Kowalczyk since 2010 and they've had 8 20-win seasons in his tenure there. But in the MAC Tournament, that's where the terror happens. They've at least made 3 conference championship games but they've gone into the last *4* conference tournaments as the 1 seed. Today, as the 1 seed, they got whacked by Kent State, a team they had beaten by 14 & 15 in the regular season. They extend their Tournament-less streak to 44 years (one of 61 schools who have not been there since we were last there, though almost half those have barely been in D1).

They could be 4 and 5 stars and he would still f it up. 58 points ain’t winning you games in march. Idk Hofstra is gonna lose a lot, ne may have new coach and have been bad for a few years. Wm and Hampton new coaches. Drexel losing a lot. Stony Brook had a ton, like 6 of their top 7 as grad students. Elon will be better. Uncw will be uncw. And Charleston well, they lose next to nothing. That core is full of juniors. Obviously with portal is yet to be seen. But if I can bet 50k on us not making to the finals, we can get closer to getting this coach packing!

What’s even more disheartening is that there’s not much chance that help is coming through that door in the form of recruitment. What’s the old Bill Parcels quote? “If you want me to cook the dinner, let me buy the groceries.” Well, the groceries that Pat Skerry has been “buying” tend to be the leftovers and scraps from other programs and lately the groceries have been rotten. How often is Towson a player’s first choice? Pat only recruits the players that he considers to be good fits for HIS preferred style of offense, which I think we all agree is a dreadful style of offense. So to think we’re going to magically get a slashing guard or high-flying explosive 3 or 4, probably not going to happen. I feel like we’re too often everyone’s “backup” school or fallback option. If I’m a decent recruit and Pat is pitching me and my parents in my living room one of the first questions I would ask (after “how much will I make from NIL at Towson?”) would be, “hey Coach how many times have you taken Towson to the NCAA tournament?” In the ruthless world of recruiting beggars can’t be choosers and right now I think Pat is more beggar than a chooser.

TCU, led by Jamie Dixon, went 9.5 minutes into their game before their first point. They also went another 5+ minutes without scoring. 8-47 from the field and 0-10 from three mid way through the second half. At least we know where Skerry gets his gameplan from..

I dont know why but I think I have gotten sadder. What a disaster. Lol. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN hurts every time. With a healthy Watson, man we coulda overcame the hump this year.

Same. camelo thimble went to the line like 27 times the second half. Stripes weren’t letting us leave with a win Lady selling beer at the cart said “you’ll need a lot of these today” and chuckled looking at my hoodie and hat. Went back right before half and she looked like she saw a ghost

that 2016 Maryland game just kills me - up 13 in the second half. talk about what could have been a program changing win. I was at the game and I remember Maryland had to call a timeout in the first half and all the Towson fans spread out in Comcast stood up and got loud. It was awesome, we had so many fans there and to see all the twerp fans losing their minds 😁.... then we proceed to blow it. the color guy during the CofC game still it super well - playing not to lose vs playing to win. we play not to lose and thus do most of the time. bay area said it in the other thread: we have alums that want to believe and turn on, go to, the big games. You see it when we play power 5 schools in MBB and FB; when we made the FB championship game, the CAA tournament. People post pictures of their TVs along the lines of 'here we go' and what Towson goes full Towson and chokes. At some point give the alumni base something to cheer about, something to remember, something to talk about new since 1991.

Kid has been in more championship games in the last 370 days than we have in 30 years...
