MBB faces Northeastern at 2pm in Austim Awareness Game
AtlantaTiger replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
Learned all I needed to about this team from this game. Little or no killer instinct or sense of urgency. Coming off an emotional OT win, at home, in special uniforms against a conference elite and they lose by 15. Underachievers for sure. -

Have to find a way to win this game. This is a "gut-check" type game. Go Tigers!! -
MBB comes back from 18 down to beat Drexel in OT
AtlantaTiger replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
Hopefully this win brings the team closer and becomes something they can rally around for the final part of the season and into the conference tourney. Tons of credit is due to Coach and his guys.....however, they can't afford to sleep-walk like they tend to do at the start of the second half of games, especially against the better teams in the CAA. Towson needs to find a way to come out of the gates a lot faster with much more intensity. Go Tigers! -
We're so undersized at LB....with the exception of Tyne, everyone else is pretty small. Also wish we had more thumpers in the secondary. I remember when Towson had Khalid McCleod (sp?) at safety. That dude had to have been 6'3 225.

They could lose this game by 3 or win by 16.....who knows anymore with this group?!

Apologies if this has been discussed on this forum in the past (I'm new here) but does anyone have any insight on how we were able to get Michigan to come to our place in 1997? Despite the loss, it was the most exciting sports experience I had during my time at TU. We came soooo close! Any chance we ever get another high-major program to come to our building?

MBB blows 11 point lead, falls at JMU , 79-73
AtlantaTiger replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
The big picture problem is that we seem to keep making the same mistakes over and over and nothing is being corrected game to game. If anything, they are regressing as the season goes on and at this point of the season they should be hitting on all cylinders. Just very disappointing that this isn’t going to be the season many of us thought it was going to be. Absolutely no focus or attention to detail with this group. -

What does this team work on in practice? It’s like they have performance anxiety or stage fright come game time. Does Towson have a Sports Psychologist on its staff? They could use one. Embarrassing loss. -
I would rather see Towson get steamrolled in the non-conference schedule by superior, nationally recognized programs to prepare for conference play than beat up a bunch of cupcakes and get a false sense of ability. I would think we could get home & homes with the likes of St. John’s, Seton Hall, Providence. I would even prefer schools like Marshall, Toledo, UCF over Coppin etc.

Today is the 20 Year Anniversary of the Derrick Newton Punch
AtlantaTiger replied to El Tigre Oro's topic in Tiger Basketball
Wow! I don't remember hearing about that. That was awful man. Punk play......ashamed that happened. -
Nothing comes easy for this team. We could use a decisive 15+ point win sometime soon to help boost some confidence coming down the stretch. Maybe against JMU? Go Tigers!
-
Coach Skerry better find a way to get through to his team fast. It's concerning that it hasn't already happened but there's still time to get things going in the right direction. I'd hate to think that we might squander this season when we have arguably the most athletic team we've had in the last 25 years. Get it together, Tigers!!!
-
Without having actually seen a game this season, I'm getting the impression that their up-and-down play is rooted in either a team chemistry issue (do these guys like and play well with each other?) or they don't respect or believe in what Coach Skerry is running/teaching. Perhaps even a discipline problem....they freelance too much on court. Whatever the problem, they better get it figured out real soon.

We can beat anyone in the conference.....we can lose to anyone in the conference. Consistently inconsistent. Does not bode well for the conference tourney. NO KILLER INSTINCT!

MBB faces W&M at home on Thursday at 7pm
AtlantaTiger replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
Great win! This has been a roller-coaster season, for sure. I have no idea what to expect from this team......gut-wrenching losses and dramatic wins. We need some consistency. Go Tigers! -
Skerry Frustrated by Close Losses from Hero Sports
AtlantaTiger replied to mat1992's topic in Tiger Basketball
Someone on this team needs to step up in a big way and assert themselves as the leader. We need someone who can WILL this team to victory in close contests. Who has the "killer instinct"? Go Tigers!! -
Yet another concerning loss. Per my post yesterday, at some point, coaching will have to come under the microscope. Coach Skerry has done a tremendous job getting this program to respectability and laying a foundation for future success but perhaps there’s something missing in his ability to draw up the right plays or play the right guys in clutch situations.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and excited that I stumbled upon it. Go Tigers! Regarding the UNCW game tonight, these are the games that this Towson team should put away early. As a proud alum and interested fan, I've exchanged emails with our AD in the last several months regarding the state of TU hoops, and he's been VERY confidant that this year's team will be the one that breaks the NCAA Tourney drought. I think it's time to either have the breakthrough season we've all been waiting for or begin taking a hard-look at the coaching staff, if it doesn't happen.
