Out of the Top 20? That's what happens when you go on the road to play a mediocre team and lay an egg.

Maybe...but it is hard to get excited about a DII team. It seems that no matter what we work on at home, it does not translate into a road win. I hope you are right in that this DII game turns out to be a very meaningful game and will somehow help us win on the road.

I hope we get a big dose of McCoy. I really want him to find his shot and settle in.....

We already know what JJ and co. can do at home against sub-par competition so it is meaningless to me....I'm there regardless.....

Meaningless game since it is a non-D1 team, but I'll be there nonetheless.

Me too. That was a real downer.....

I recall reading that Flemmings went with some other coach to another D1 school?? Obviously not. That would be great if he came here. I thought the chapter in this book was already closed..... maybe not.

Personally, I do not think he is being cocky. He speaks very directly about his career and financial goals, but I know the some folks don't care for this style (especially about money). It is another matter as to whether he can actually carry out these goals, including the NBA. I actually checked up on him 2 weeks ago at the Holy Family website. I didn't post what I found b/c I didn't think anyone would care.... I noticed that he averaged a ton of points, but what really stood out was his many turnovers (which they failed to mention in the article). Apparently, this part of his game didn't change after leaving UNT. I wish Sturns the very best and hope that he achieves all of his goals. There was some issues with his behavior both on and off the court, but he always treated us with respect and kindness. He was always very nice to my daughter.... he took the time to actually learn her name and talk to her after the games, and even would throw things (wrist sweat bands, etc.) to her in the crowd.

every team that plays a zone on the road.....

I guess my fears of a slow, sloppy start were realized in the Denver game. What a disappointing game that was. We are going to have to learn how to win on the road, else we aren't going anywhere post-season.

Two SBC top teams lost today.... WKU and ULAR.... disappointing...

Update on the Creighton Vs. ULAR game... ULAR down 25-43 at the half. This would be a nice OOC win if ULAR can somehow pull this off...

ULAR is getting smacked around like a little red-headed step child, and are losing to Creighton by 16 with under 2 minutes in the first half. Western Kentucky is battling with Southern Illinois... 40-36 S.Illonois at the half. ULM beat a DII team today (thank god).

My family and I will be coming out... hopefully y'all will have this on a big screen and have audio.... thanks for the info!!

I'm sure this is an ignorant question, but how does "drive to the dome" translate into a Mean Green Basketball game. Is the "dome" the name of the Denver stadium? Thanks!!

I've checked FCS-Central repeatedly on my Verizon guide, but do not see the game for today (12/22). It is listed for various replays that start tomorrow, 12/23. Do you still see this game for today in your Verizon guide??

Denver is extremely good this season at keeping a low scoring game and forcing turnovers. This should be a very interesting game given our high octane offense and frequent turnovers.

I realize we will lose some games and that it won't be the end of the world. We have an extremely competitive conference, especially this season with New Orleans, ULAR, USA, and WKU. The thing that concerns me most is how we lost two early season OOC games. Both occurred due to slow, sloppy starts with very poor shooting. Don't get me wrong. I am extremely excited about this team and believe we will go far; but in terms of concerns about our play, this in my main (and probably only) one.

I have to admit I am a little nervous about conference play. Last season our record was 11-3 for all games played up to December, but then didn't see this type of winning percentage during conference play. Nonetheless, I feel very confident about this team. What separates this team from last year is that we have a deep line up of talented guards and improved free throw shooting.

Thanks BFBrian.....One more question... I've never been there....is this a restaurant/bar with a family atmosphere or a straight up bar? My family is in town, and I was thinking about having dinner out there during the game.

Do you know if they have audio playing for the game?

I agree with you and with coach Jone's strategy to empty the bench... but I think our decrease in offensive output in the 2nd half is more a credit to this, then to "Centenary's tightened defense." Moreover, even with our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers playing throughout half 2, Centenary only managed a whopping 30 points. We clearly dominated Centenary, and were basically playing around with them for much of the 2nd half. As the Pit Crew called out.... we turned that team into a Cemetery.

Dez is staring to become the shooter we thought he would be.... congrads Dez!

"The Centenary defense tightened up in the second half, holding the Mean Green to 29 points." ......... Total B.S. We emptied the bench for a good part the 2nd half and played with line ups never/rarely on the floor. I thought they were going to send in the water boy at one point.... I wish JJ showed no mercy and finished the demolishing of Centenary.
