Bay Area Tiger 347 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Another season upon us. Truly appreciate all the insights. Lets hope these recruits really get after it and buy into the system. I’m 45 and I want to dance before I die please... is that so much to ask. The curse eats at me being that I showed up on campus in the Fall of 1991. Go Tigers... come West to play in the near future... USF & St Mary’s trip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 -25 seems low. Have no expectations for this game, except we will struggle to break 35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 I'm assuming this game was already scheduled before the UMBC upset, and before we knew two of our (potentially) best returnees would bolt. Like having to enter a paper shredder, with us as the paper.. The only suggestion I can think of is to try to stay loose; play for the fun of it, if at all possible. Anyone can see it's a David versus Goliath scenario, so nobody expects Towson to win. Please try to avoid doing anything that will be embarrassing - it will only fire up the home crowd, for one thing. Try to keep TOs down. With the athleticism these tigers reportedly have, they may get their share of steals, and rebounds. Maybe a Georgetown approach and slowing it down might work. The fear is that as soon as the 'Hoos walk out and see that black & gold and think "Baltimore" or "Baltimore County", they'll go on a rampage. It's just a gauntlet this team will have to do their best with, and to take away from it as much as they can learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtlantaTiger 202 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 Does Skerry not care the least about free throws? Do they practice free throws? Why are free throws such a mystery to Towson teams every year? Embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basketball Mat 3 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 0 assists, 14 turnovers and a lot of missed shots. No win tonight. I think this team will be a tough out in the CAA this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,231 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 We had zero chance of winning this game if we had Zane Martin, Jordan McNeill, Jerrelle Benimon or Gary Neal. We would have been leading at the half though but UVa is good for a reason. Maybe not 31 wins like last season but they'll be near the top of the ACC as always. Then that boring pace will cost them in the NCAA Tournament. As for us, I'll have more in a different thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Where was McNeil - injured?.. Tunstall continues to outshine Big Al.. Guessing assists will come as team gells.. Not as bad as I thought it might be. But ideally had hoped for 20pt+/- difference.. If some guys can step up a little more (Thomas particularly), or the team can gell in upcoming 2-3 weeks, i feel they'll have a chance to be competitive.

mat1992 2,231 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 McNeill still has that hand injury and I wouldn’t expect a lot from Thomas in terms of production. Problem with Tunstall is that he’s always fighting some nagging injury. Now it’s a hamstring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
