Figure this baseball chain would be the best place to put this. Tell the O's manager to 1) Figure out why his team is in last place and have been just awful so far this year and 2) know your community: Orioles’ Brandon Hyde when asked about Gunnar Henderson’s struggles against left-handed pitchers this season: “You have to remember, Gunnar is 23 years old. … That’s a fifth-year senior in college. So, there’s probably guys at Towson State that are the same age as Gunnar.”

At this point the way college sports are going, Towson in any sport if they are fortunate to make it outside of I-AA football maybe will always be "Big fish in a small pond" and "1 & done". The goal at this point is to win your conference tournament, have fun to see your name in a bracket and compete your a$$ off when the game starts and hope for the best. 5.5 goal dogs let's surprise some folks!

Too late we are already left behind. At the minimum schools are packing up while we are on the phone having trouble getting a moving company to even pick up the phone.

Let him stand in the lane and protect the rim. Development really has not been this coaching staff's calling card so we are going to get what we get. One thing they can do is fix his Twitter bio and put "University" after Towson instead of before!

If it did not happen the first 15 years it ain't happening now. Kind of like PS getting us to the tourna, Oh sorry ignore that last point, just know we are not going to Fort Worth.

Big game probably a toss-up, but it looks like Fairfield's record could be the benefit of a so-so schedule. Would be nice to secure home field for conference tournament.

A different way to show players from small schools who may or may not get drafted. Although I would love for Carter to get drafted, it may be more beneficial for him to sign as an undrafted free agent which can allow him to pick and choose where he goes as he can look at rosters and depth charts to better his chances to stick.

Seems like Towson struggles with clearing every season. Loyola definitely seems to be a team that their record does not tell the whole story. A lot of near miss "L" against some quality teams. Good to get the win while having some guys out.

I was wrong and @mat1992 responded to my original post by stating that they are getting additional scholarships and funding. Which of course would be great.

Pleasantly surprised! Nice couple of days for the program. Now if only...

Our friends down at CoC could be looking for a new coach again. Chris Mack supposedly on the short list at Xavier.

Foreign players cannot receive NIL money as I believe it would require a different kind of Visa since essentially would be working if they receive money. A contact of mine said to me that Drexel is looking toward foreign players more for the simple fact that they would be more likely to stay 4 years since they cannot bounce from school to school looking for the most money.

Most if not all the comments on this thread are spot on, but @mat1992 opening statement above says it all for me and sums up perfectly. We all got sucked in and excited, and rightfully so, about this team while going through conference play. That being said we all had our heads on a swivel similar to a slot receiver going across the middle with Brian Dawkins, Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, Ray Lewis all in the secondary. We knew at some point we were going to get lit up and boy did it happen last night. We got popped but it did not hurt as much as expected because of the callouses of previous disappointments. It is apparent Pat Skerry has taken us far as he can take us. Yes he brought us out of the doldrums, yes he is now the all time winningest coach in program history but he is 0-6 in conference tournament semifinal games. They say a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut but they never tell you how long it take some blind squirrels to find it. I do not have a replacement in mind and at this point I do not care who it is but PS has had 14 years of opportunity to get over the hump let someone else take the helm. The sad and ironic thing unfortunately is our best chance for Skerry to go would have been if he got us to the tournament and someone hired him a way from us. Far fetched but unless I am wrong and I hope I am the chances of that happening was better then Towson eating the rest of his contract and letting him go. Fight On, I guess...

Chickens, it's always the damn chickens (trust me damn is not my first word choice but trying to keep it PG). Like I think Datres mentioned in another thread looks like we have to go through every team that has been a thorn in our side. Drexel, Chickens, CoC. If that's the road to them sitting in the Field House or Towson Arena next Sunday watching where they will be playing next so be it! Chickens can't shoot 62% from three on back to back nights can they? We got this FIGHT ON!

Kind of like my kids travel team tournaments, where you drive hours to play and your first opponent is from the next town over from you!
