TuTigers2012 1,071 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 Ok, I'm going to bite on this. I keep seeing that we "have improved by 8.5 games from a year ago." Counting the Non D1s we were 10-22 last year and currently are 17-12. If we lose the last 3 we would be 17-15 and that's a 7 game improvement, right? Am I missing something? We also are 14th in FT shooting % as a team. Either way, Hofstra is gonna be tough. Buie is a match up problem for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya think JM might try to rest some of his starters?! Sheesh. That bench is non-existent. (I'm sure one of them will go off and score 25 on us now). Buie has played 28+ minutes in the last 12 CAA games with 5 of them going all 40! That's pretty good for a guy almost on AARP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 My fault. They clinched it last season but I believe that was in the final regular season game at Delaware. So this is a different situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuTigers2012 1,071 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 Not that it matters to much but... With 2 wins we clinch the 3 Spot. With a NE loss tonight we clinch the 5. With a Win tonight we clinch the 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 I doubt NE is losing at home tonight vs JMU. A W & they go to 9-8 DE plays C of C tonight, so either DE drops to 10-7 or C of C drops to 9-8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
