What a refreshing, and long overdue, development We are now top 50 in the nation in 3pt %, ranked right in between Kansas & Gonzaga.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still view that year, as Pat Skerry's best coaching job coming off 1-31. Of course, we didn't play in the CAA Tournament that year. The 2012-13 and 13-14 teams probably had better starting lineups, but this is is probably the deepest team that I can remember having since I have followed Towson. The 1993-94 team (John James, Ralph Blalock, Scooter Alexander, Stevie Thomas, Quinten Moody, Deron Robinson, Michael Keyes, Matt Campbell) is the closest thing I can remember that is comparable to this depth in a very different way. That is also the last team to win a regular-season conference title, which I hope we have in our sights this year. Also, you are both right. To this point, 13-5 is our best record through 18 games since we have been D-1 (per Spiro on the broadcast). However, we are still only five games into conference play and have not even faced three of the other top teams in our league. With the craziness of Covid and other factors that could take guys out, I am celebrating what is going on now while cautiously looking forward to trying to keep it up. Great job by everyone so far, but we have still have 13 conference games left. Hopefully, we are where we want to be at the end of the season. Then we need to face down our biggest demon of all, conference tournament play (and that is not just a Pat Skerry demon). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you said, there is a lot of season left including 4 road games that we haven’t had much success in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the same time 3 of our 4 conference wins were against the top 6 in the pre-season picks (NE-2, Hofstra-5 and Elon-6) with our only loss being to the preseason #3 team (Drexel) which was on the road. I do agree the next 6 will dictate how good this team can be: Coc UNCW @ UD UD Drexel JMU If we manage to go 4-2 or better I think that's when expectations will really increase for me. As we have all said, it's been a great start, but our biggest challenges are in front of us. We all have the bad taste in our mouth come March and that needs to change. The good news is Nolan and Cam have no idea what that past is can will hopefully push us through. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next 6 are huge especially with 5 at home. 4-2 would be nice but in the end it’s all for naught unless they can do something in March Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
