Bay Area Tiger

For those of you still living in the Towson area enjoy every moment. Such a special place. I desperately miss the season changes and just people back that way in general. Stuck here in crazy California until 2026 once last kid graduates then I can move. Always wearing my Towson gear proudly. Special place.

Fairfield comes in 0-4. Dangerous game if we aren’t ready to play. Fields is shooting 48% from 3 thus far.

5-0 with tougher games ahead. I watched Northern Iowa yesterday despite losing they were super efficient and a perfect test for our team next month. We really haven’t played a great 40 minute game. Best basketball ahead of us we hope. I know May and Conway need to defend better but I want to see these two guys play more and while shooting 9-24 from 3.. Conway was 2-4. Gotta find him minutes come CAA play. We have to be able to shoot the 3 ball consistently to get where we want to go. Hicks now 10 assists to 8 turnovers while averaging 21 minutes a game. Yes he needs to develop an offensive game but for this specific season I love this kid who defends and takes care of the ball. He’s gonna be a huge reason whether we dance or not. Not trying to put all on him but Nick and Gibby are guys who play hard and seem to never be 100%. Hicks is key to this season.

Assuming Hicks gets the assignment? Any word on Gibby and his back? After today we have “3” in a row come Friday so I gotta assume Gibby not gonna play Saturday to rest his back.

Glancing ahead to Coppin State next week…. If I counted correctly they have 17 non conference games! That’s a ton. Only 3 of which are home. Fang Mitchell always played a tough non conference schedule back in the day as we know. As a fan I still wish we could have landed a bigger name for SECU this season with the returning group we have. Oh well. Can’t wait to see Hicks play Sessoms.. two Philly kids going at it.

UMass buzzer beater. Wow

Not so fast. Frank Martin coaching em up and refs been terrible today.

UMass came to play today against Murray State. Beat Colorado. I think UMass may turn out to have a better season than we all thought.

Hofstra is 4-0 Pride lit it up in the second half. Geez

I have Hofstra-San Jose State on now. No one and I mean literally no one in the arena. San Jose State Football they are not. Sad.

Ha. Cheech & Chong like Take aways.. Hicks had a concussion Chase will be in the mix eventually

John’s Roast Pork has some excellent cheesesteaks

Some positives in our 3 wins… Nic, Cam & Gibby are shooting 40% or better from beyond the arc Sylla is averaging 6.7 rebounds per game Our team assist to turnover ratio is 44-41 *Cam is 12 to 16 and that will improve I believe or at least not get worse Canadien Chris has averaged 5.5 pts & 3 rebounds so far.. bonus! Hicks is averaging 18.7 minutes per game as opposed to 12.7 minutes last season. That kid is gonna get better and better. 3-0!!! Good teams find a way to win despite playing poorly.

23-32 for 72%. Road foul shots win games. This team needs to hit the front ends better going forward but I’ll take it.
