    We've done so well with me not being able to watch or listen to the game live that I think I'll do it again for the semifinal game too unless it rains here which is not in the forecast. Impressive effort by the freshmen to carry the day, especially Williamson. Big step up by Tarke to sort of jumpstart things in the 2nd half and get us rolling. The 3-pt defense since the 12:00 mark of the 2nd half vs W&M has been very impressive. That'll be ultra necessary against Charleston as they'll whip it around the perimeter like they did against us in the home game. Only way we're gonna beat them is if we keep up this same defensive effort and if we shoot like we did at their place. Charleston's that white whale that for the most part we haven't been able to take down in a big spot. We've proven they're beatable. Just have to play that same game from January. Oh, and that's another 20-win season. Of course, there will be those who will foolishly place asterisks on it and that's their agenda. Would you prefer the consistent 20-loss seasons from 1998-2011?

    Matt, while I realize I do have an air of negativity regarding the coach and the program, I would like to thank you for your time, effort and tolerance. It makes a difference.

    NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! No ifs, ands or buts. 4-11 record in conference tournament; never has won more than 1 game in 11 years of tournament play; never has even made it to the tournament championship game NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! No ifs, ands or buts. No credible, unbiased observer could conclude otherwise. Anyone who does, lacks credibility in my estimation. It’s stunning to me how anyone, with a straight face, could say an 18-12 regular season, over 13 years, with the postseason futility cited above, is acceptable. It’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH, end of story, full stop

    There was a small piece of schadenfreude last night when ODU lost in OT on the first day of their conference tournament to finish the season 7-25. For any of the other old-schoolers besides Mat and I from the ollllllld CAAZone days, we took a beating from the ODU fanbase among others for how bad we were. They're a good example that the grass isn't always greener as they've only been to 1 Tourney since they left CAA whereas they had been to 4 in the 9 years before leaving.

    The long and short of it is Skerry is not a good basketball coach. He ahs had 13 years to win something, even if it is by accident. His offense is dribble for 20 seconds, throw up a bomb and send everyone to get the rebound. His defense is mediocre, but it is a story of keep telling everyone it is good and sooner or later they will believe it. His teams are good enough to beat bottom feeders and every now and then another mediocre team. Fundamentals are lacking and basketball IQ has not improved once the talented kids arrive. These are all responsibilities of a coach. These kids have potential, but it needs to be developed. During 13 years, the TU coach is overpaid and under productive. It is sad to see. When the hallmark of the 13 years is good coaching PR....you are in trouble.

    2012 has no complaints with Towson or skerry on this one. Finally won two in a row! Can we make it 3?! Probably not. Charleston is a machine and has the best 7-8 players on their team and rested and healthy (sheesh I sound like almost all our other posters here)as well we a much better coaching staff. But let’s show some fight and punch them in the face tomorrow. Sprained ankles, hits to the groin, questionable fouls, we faced that all day today. Quite a resolve by the freshmen. Love the fight they had and that last second dunk attempt by lowery. This was the first time in a while “Towson tough and Towson vs everyone” showed up. That team punched back today and it was nice to see. Some of the oldies here hate Delaware and Drexel, for me it was Jmu until they left for greener pasturers, but my dislike for uncw, their coaches, their players and especially their fan base has been second to none. This was a satisfying win.

    I’m perfectly fine in California. I’m the ultimate optimist and I do like PS but I watched the preview and our coach is reaching for loose branches right now. I don’t want to hear about past accomplishments. Win now!

    Just watched.. I appreciate his efforts but no one cares we’ve won 18 games or more 9 of the past 11 seasons if we win tomorrow night. Sustainability of a program is great if you know bigger things are ahead but we don’t know that. Have some nice parts but nothing indicates we will win the CAA anytime soon.

    Unsurprising, and yet I’m still crushed. Another year, another “almost.”

    https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=519438 Towson tries to rub it in like Phillips in the last game at the end. Karma. Talk away I'll be back in about 1.5 hours. Dylan Williamson with 18 points.

    A good win for sure. All “must-win-game” wins are good. Credit to the players and the coaches for finding a way to get it done today. However, I’m not quite ready to let Pat off the hook. Anything short of the big dance will just be more of the same. I don’t care that it’s CofC tomorrow. Let’s not consider consecutive wins in the CAA Tourney meaningful progress. This isn’t year 2 or 3 of his tenure.

    Absolutely could lose the first game …… and …… it’s also da same team that won AT C of C. sooooo; yeah, I think the Tigers can win this thing (prob 6 teams that can). I’m buying beers in DC if (when) we get to the finals (TY Bitcoin 🚀) …. Will send my coordinates WHEN we get there. Sorry to be so positive , but that’s loving sports/ being a fan. Most of y’all dismiss the 18-20 reg season wins anyways 😂 ….. so, LFG. NOW you can check in. Playoffs ! Next game(s) (per the negative Nancy’s) is ALL THAT MATTERS. #TIGERSROARINDC

    The unfortunate thing is that you could change half the team….tinker with the starting roster all you want, until the head coach is replaced, the end result will never change. He’s had far better teams in the past than this one and he didn’t do squat with them.

    Death, taxes and underachieving Skerry basketball teams.

    Not sure if I like our chances more or less now that uncw has hit a major bump recently. I don’t see how they lose 3 straight at home, but the fact that they lost 2 is something. Sell out crowd, hoping to knock them out of a double bye and senior day. Hopefully can ruin Phillips day. Feels like he was a freshman when Nick was. Also would be nice for their insufferable fan base to lose their minds

    Jimmy has a world of knowledge but comes off as a jabber jaw. Chuck Lightning was perfect. Spiro solo still does an excellent job despite all the technical difficulties in broadcasts through the years. We will miss Spiro when he retires but let’s not hope soon.

    I know I'm going to be ostracized for defending PS, but I don't give a f-ck. Yes, the 18-win season or whatever isn't a big deal anymore. Neither is 20 wins. Beating Drexel, UNCW at home and Charleston on the road doesn't count apparently. Those are good wins. Delaware on the road. Not bad. And yes, the Hampton loss was beyond terrible, I'm not into the regular season doesn't count bullshit. It does. Seedings and double-byes matter in this league. Tournament performances have been bad. No defense for that other than the first Benimon season because they were ineligible. Who knows what the team could have accomplished? After that, it's been one or two and done as has been mentioned 8 million times. The offense has been atrocious this season and the player they missed the most was Holden, because he ran the offense and helped Timberlake get good looks. Is that on the coach and his staff that the offense has been so stagnant this season? I criticize the offense basically in every loss so of course I think it is. Next off-season, something needs to change and I say it every season. It starts with pace, but when you watch the great ball movement of Charleston, the ball never sticks. I don't care how good your defense is, when you move the ball that quickly and that well, you can beat a good or average defense. Every coach in the CAA gets criticized. It's part of the job. The UNCW fans after the Campbell game were not thrilled. Siddle should win Saturday against us, but he's 1-5 against Trowson. My biggest problem is when I watch the CAA this season and last and see a player I'd love to have in a Towson uniform: Trazerian White, Shakeim Phillips, Tyler Thomas, Jameer Nelson Jr., Darlinstone Dubar, Aaron Estrada, Kobe Rodgers, Justin Moore, etc. It's a guard league and a wings league. Can Tejada, Lowery, Williamson or Cole become one of those guys? I'm not seeing it, but I can see one or two of those guys becoming very productive players in the future. We just need that freakin' star and we probably can't get that guy in the portal due to our NIL situation. So we have to develop it. Staff change? Recruiting more shooters? Recruiting less bullies and more athletic and lengthy players in the portal as well? If you told me during the summer after the legal situation with Conway and the ACL injury to Watson, they'd we'd have a longshot of getting a top four seed in the final weekend, I'd probably be ecstatic, not thinking that we'd lose to Hampton on the road and beat Charleston on the road in the same season. Not trying to make this season half-full, but also trying to put things in perspective.

    Easy to win 18 games a year when Goucher comes across the street to get an annual ass beating! Then sweep Morgan, Coppin, and umbc to pad the stats even more! Gotta win in the tournament, nothing else is good enough at this point

    UNCW’s loss means we get a top 4 seed if we go 2-0 this weekend, regardless of what Hofstra and Drexel do. A tall order, I know, but within the realm of possibility.
