Green Otaku

Why are you refusing to see the solution put in front of you? Multiple posters have shown you the formulas, shown the quad wins and losses, etc. This is pretty much it here. There is nothing else to it. What would it take for you to see that the above is the case? Beating the spread and moving down?

Great effort by the guys. Glad we pulled that one out, and the defense played hard. Scott reminds me of Dennis Rodman, just gives 100% on every play and never gives up. Huntsberry looked off tonight, I just hope it was a 1 game thing. Ousmane did really well controlling his body and playing smart on defense. The long droughts are still a concern, we just need to score a few in those instances and this team is in a really good place.

IMO the droughts that are happening before the end of the halves is the biggest issue. These long stretches are putting a lot of pressure on the team and letting opponents back in games. We went the whole last 6 minutes of the 1st half without scoring, and in the 2nd between 7:34 and 2:31 we had 2 points from 2 free throws made by Huntsberry. Our slow pace makes it costly when you miss a few chances back to back.

I agree with what others have said, I'd like to see the team attack the basket when it can instead of kicking it out to reset, especially when they broke the 1-3-1 and had a chance for a quick 2. I get that the coaches want to control the pace, but just get the easy points.

I think they meant practice as in reps in a real game so I don't think out of game practice is what they are talking about. I did a quick search and this is what a 7 win requirement would look like. X means that bowl would not happen and / means one of the teams was 6-6 which would need to be replaced by a 7 win team. We would lose 9 bowls with 6 of those featuring two 6-6 teams.

The scenario above would still make players opt out if they aren't in the real playoff. I think moving the wins to 7 is a good idea, bowls are becoming less and less important if they aren't part of the playoff so less of them is a good thing.

We better be ready to compete, the AAC is going to be a big step up in competition across the board. I've talked about this before but we have reached as far as our potential can take us. Large metro, top recruiting area, 45k students, large alumni base, good facilities, etc. Those got us here, not our record. Now we actually have to turn that potential into something or forever float in limbo with no direction. USF comes to mind, they are similar to us and look how UCF passed them up. We need results on the fields/courts to either be a nationally recognized team in the American or to be ready for the next shake up.

This game shows that our shooting can be better vs what we got with FAU, so it was either a bad shooting night which happens or the guys need to learn to stay loose. Everyone knew it was a big game so I think the nerves got to them. We missed so many open 3s with zero defenders within 8 feet of our guys, a couple of those go in and it changes the game.

We need these other players like Eady, Stone, Martinez to continue to develop and get points. Sissoko played the most minutes in a long time but they never fed him the ball. With Abu in foul trouble again I don't see why he didn't get even more minutes. Jones is slowly getting back to his old self which is nice to see. I would like to see Moore in there especially the last 6 or so minutes. He already used his redshirt right? Am I missing something and they are trying to preserve his eligibility?

Agree on the Sissoko comments. Would have loved to see him get more minutes last night after Abu was in foul trouble. I don't see how he didn't even see the floor.

Don't forget the bucket taken away from Perry by these inept refs. Also IIRC the steal that should have gone our way was called a foul on Jones that led to the 2 Ousmane fouls. I too am not one to blame refs but this game had their prints all over it.

The rest of the team needed to step up, wide open 3s were missed on so many plays. TP and Ousmane were taken out of this game by the refs and their stupid calls. Also Mac was screaming at the refs for a foul on Jones when he was driving into the paint.

These refs suck ass. I couldn't believe the call to take away the bucket Perry scored.

Naughty link for those that don't have the channel. https://www.sawlive.tv/embedm/stream/ZmcDI5TGFiWVoxcTgyYXJHeFdvYTJmemRscVczbXJvOHV0WTFWNHFOQ2RxSlZYbzltaQ__/bGxlaHJaeWUyNVpiYzl6Tm5hcHNpblRaMGFLcWxGUjRxYUxMM0dkYWN0dW16OXVmaj

Looking forward to the game tonight and hoping Abu comes out looking like the last game. Go Mean Green!

Whoever fixed the thread title thank you.

I for one would be in favor of you starting a new thread or at least changing this one to the standard format.

People already forget how the CCG vs UTSA ended at the half. Instead of running the clock out we tried to move it down the field, only to have UTSA get it back and score.

I for one am glad to close the chapter on the SL era of football. This game exemplified what has been wrong these last few years. It also reinforces that getting rid of SL was the right choice. It's time to go a different direction and move forward.

Wondering the same thing.

Agreed. He looks like a beast and has a smooth shot, if we can get 5-6 points a game out of him we'd be in a really good place. Would like to see him more as well as Christian Moore, who's looked great the few minutes we've seen him.

This and the GCU/UTA will really help our team on away games in conference. You need to build up that tough away game mentality, and even better when you can build up your confidence with wins.

Agree it should stay in the middle. Troy didn't seem to have a problem putting their scoreboard above their athletic center.

I'm hoping something is announced soon. We really need to get this project going to be competitive in recruiting.
