C of C has some grown a$$ men on their roster.

If we can beat those teamsters, circus strongmen and professional rasslers cleverly disguised as the C of C basketball team, I’m cautiously optimistic as to our chances vs UNCW 😆

Understatement, thy name is TU2012😆😂

As mentioned above, very encouraging when your leading scorer has an off-night & you still get the W. Also, as mentioned above, Gray is really an important cog, with his leadership, D & scoring. Nice to see Nolan back and nice to see Timberlake scoring well the last 2 games. C of C reminds me of recent past TU teams-best offensive play is a missed shot. They’ve got some muscled up dudes. Rumble for 1st place tomorrow. Granted, it’s still relatively early in conference play, but is this the biggest conference regular season game in the Skerry era?🤔

I think your breaking the season down into component parts is a good way to look at things. I would simply add that perhaps the importance of each segment grows from least important (OOC play) to most important (at least in determining who goes dancing in our 1-bid league)-the conference tournament. As much as I want us to get back to the dance, my immediate goal is to finish 1st in the regular season, to secure, at a minimum, an NIT bid. Notwithstanding PS’s dreadful conference tournament record, the vagaries of what can happen in a 3-day tournament shouldn’t necessarily render a successful regular season a failure. So, I say goal #1 is finish first in the regular season conference standings. If that happens, then it’s survive and advance in the conference tournament.

2-4 more schools? Clearly trending towards a northern & southern division, in order to keep travel costs under control. Question becomes which division do we wind up in. Are we the southern most northern school, or the northern most southern school?🤔🤷‍♂️

Well done. You get an A.

Seems like a good get for both football & MBB. Gives some geographic balance to go along with the northernmost members of the conference. Also gives the conference a footprint in NJ, FWIW. Fun fact, with the addition of Monmouth, the CAA, in terms of football and basketball, now will have a member institution in everyone of the original 13 colonies, except…? Class, for extra credit, can anyone answer this question?

That’s a nice high rent district to be in, with Kansas & the Zags

Once Nolan & Hicks return, you’re not going to quote “Reunited” by Peaches 🍑 & Herb, are you?😆. Just kidding with you. It’s a helluva lot more fun than griping about some of our offensively challenged teams of the past. Who knows where this will wind up, but it’s sure fun right now. I would imagine the team’s confidence is burgeoning, which hopefully will manifest itself in the upcoming home stand. Still want to see how we fare vs DE, C of C & JMU, but it would appear we can more than hold our own against anyone in the conference

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we’re the best 3-point shooting team in the league. What a refreshing, and long overdue, development

Just watched the replay on Flo. Not enough superlatives when it comes to Holden. Not just the scoring, but the other facets of his game. The game was hardly an offensive masterpiece, but to win on the road with 2 key players missing speaks to the resilience of the team. Hopefully Nolan will be back soon, as well as Gibson. Would be great to get a W at W&M on Monday & come home 4-1 in conference

I guess the fact RA is (potentially) a lame duck wouldn’t matter much to transfers who only have 1 year of eligibility left. I wouldn’t automatically assume next season is his last. If somehow he catches lightning in a bottle and sneaks into the playoffs, all bets might be off. How he’s going to do that remains a mystery to me at the moment, but I guess stranger things have happened. You would also think the new AD would want to have their own person in the job

I totally forgot about Holland. So I guess technically at this point that May & Williamson take Gray & Holland’s ships. So, if PS dips into the portal pool for 1-2 guys, that would mean 1-2 guys already on the team would be departing. I’d like to see Nolan, Holden, Rizzuto and Timberlake all return, but obviously each will make the decision they feel is in their best interests

Going to be interesting to see which, if any, of the members of the last 2 recruiting classes (Jones, Bieku, Gill & Coleman) return next season. None of them are getting any significant minutes & if PS is going to bring in 1 or 2 guys from the portal, the roster has to be pared, with the 2 freshmen (Williamson & May) already coming on board. I know Gray is in his last season, but I’ve lost track of whether Rizzuto, Nolan & Holden have eligibility beyond this season. Also, as we all know, Timberlake has been around quite awhile, so will he be back?
