Our opponent in todays scrimmage had some nice plays and is apparently good at their level of play. Need some type of live game like situations with a long break. Last year and in years past we have sucked early in conference play. Hopefully some of our guys getting a few minutes against someone other than black and gold practice uniforms helps. Love to see the walkons get the last 8 minutes. These guys practice hard, run scout and do little things so playing time is great to see for them. All 5 on the court to finish this scrimmage were much closer to the level of play. 6-6 OOC. Was hoping for 7-5 or 8-4 if things fell into place. Truly we were 1-3, in teams similar to us and where we want to be. W Umass. L Bryant, UNT and South Dakota State. Wake and Colorado were much better than I thought they’d be. Robert Morris and the local teams much worse. lots of questions for conference play. Biggest in concerning order: -can we improve from a mediocre/average defensive team to a decent one? -making shots within 5 feet?! -can we win a road game? -will the front court mess continue?/how will the young players react to conf play? Our best 4 players are 3 freshmen and a sophomore -will we score enough/shoot well enough to compete? -are we really that bad at the free throw line? -how will the recent transfer fit in? Schedule is tough, but think we can be between 6 and 9 wins in league play. That will then put the coach around 3 to 6 wins away from 200 next year!

Our opponent today.. lol

If and when it’s just another spare piece. Doesn’t move the needle. In fact it may hurt by having some players get less time Lol. Dinner is on me in the tournament. Granted my kids, kids maybe be the ones paying that

NCAA does not count non d1 games to records. 11 games (could be more) against them. Pat has always played a below average at best OOC schedule. Typically they are on the weak side. Sub 225 or so. So yes there will be a lot of 3-7, 2-8 teams. Especially when we are adamant on playing the local teams. We can count the non d1s if we also then count the first season, Deal??!

“199” no. And next Saturday also no. They were 2-7 going into today. It is what it is. Hope so. Nice guy but he’s been awful this year. Looks off. Technicals. Flagrants etc. . Maybe it’s the pressure or playing with lesser players. No disrespect to mr Towson but if his legacy is this season, he may be looking for a refund.

6-6 in ooc play. Meh. Defense great. Paar a boost. Charles awful. Forwards bad. Lowery good. Too many threes. Need about half as many. Not good Looks when Suliman is shooting more than 1. Beat a 2-7 team. Happy to be lucky to play them thr second game
-
Haha. Office closing early for the holidays today so I’ll be there, important information for my betting friends!
-
Looks like Conway is playing at Howard CC
-
That’s a large line
-
If true there’s a light (albeit a small one) at the end of the tunnel. 837 more days to go!!

Don’t blame the refs. That’s a 50-50 call. If we are going to foul like that, need to do a better job. I’m a fan of fouling up 3. But under 5 seconds and a full court inbound, gets dicey. Also put a f’ing person on the inbounder!
-
5 points?!
-
There are some here who would LOVE to get a chance at this..
-
Didn’t include “I”. I think we all feel that way. Didn’t mean for that to come off you were blaming him for leaving. Anyone who stays involved in this program voluntarily for 4 and even 5 years is one sick demented person 😆
-
Kansas has him standing behind the three point line. Not a lot of moving. He was effective here running off screens catching and shooting, deep or mid range. Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar aren’t going to be setting many screens for their 5th scoring option when on the court
-
He wanted to play in march too so don’t blame him for leaving and trying to get a ring. He was here 5 years and did what he could. Don’t blame him for taking the most money. Interesting if this extra year hurts his chances to play and make more money overseas than if he went straight there last year

Someone Please Forward this story to Pat Skerry

You can say it’s easier to score against caa level (and Baltimore area) schools than it is against big east and Kansas level teams… haha. Playing bully ball was fine the first few years but after a while you need to shoot a bit. Our recipe “defense and offensive rebounding” isn’t really working this year since we can’t make any of our misses. We have to be the worst team in the country in the paint. We are either rushing, soft and cant finish through contact or just suck. I think it’s all combo of the three. We have a 5th year senior that can’t finish over a smaller Bryant player, sometimes we cant even hit the rim from 5 feet away. Our defense is not good and ranks in the bottom 1/3 of the league. It passes the eye test for most since we don’t allow a lot of points. Playing at the slowest pace in the nation, even slower than uva, limits the possessions. You’re right. He isn’t going to change. 13 years. No point guard. No player than can create his own shot or shots for others. No one with a clutch gene. The closest we had was Mike morsell. -
Umass is the abyss for college football. But if players were winning and playing, they wouldn’t be transferring to Towson
-
There will be some here who will be hurt about that haha Volume shooter. Needs shots to get going. Isn’t getting them at Kansas. Tough for him. I wanted him to do well but he’s in way over his head in speed and skill at that level. Not sure how Spencer was ranked lower than him in the portal. He was doing it at Rutgers while Nick was here
-
Yeah right… 50/50 IMO. He knew he was going to be fouled and hoisted it as he got touched. If he wasn’t touched, he would have kept dribbling. Senior move. Guard the inbound and it’s easier to defend out or foul. Poor coaching
-
Thanks for this. So 2.5 more years of pain? He could get 5 years if he can take us to the promiseland
-
Just like football… if we can’t afford to fire coaches at the end of their contracts, there really a needs to be a re-evaluation of being a d1 institution. We don’t even know how many years he has left because they keep arbitrarily adding years on. Wonder if 1st row knows?! 😂 Cannot have lame duck coaches.

We did but they aren’t here anymore. That extension goes down as the most unwarranted in sports (even more so than jimbos!)
