TOPE IS GARBAGE how do you want to go big??? 

He is not garbage. He is our second best post player and we should have been developing Hawkeem all year. That’s on the team. We are down to six guys at this point. We have no depth and our guards are now forced to play every minute. That’s far from ideal. We have a lot of fight and the fact we already have 20 win is huge, but more and more our lack of size and ability to run anything other than 4-1 is showing and it’s killing us. (The injuries have made it much worse)

I can't believe all the critism from some of you.   This team is down to no bench, and still never gave up.  

Do you actually believe a team of Gibson, Simmons, Smart, Draper, Miller and seldom used Arikawe and a walkon is going to easily beat any team?

I’d argue the whole season. Outside of the first Rice game and the games against D2 schools

This. I've argued all season that this team has not killed off or dominated any opponent this season other than RICE and D2 schools. We squeek by mediocre teams then get exposed by good teams or teams with size. We'll be lucky to make the NIT at this rate

That didn't do much for your argument.

[EagleMBA]

I had another commitment and couldn't watch or listen, only sneak a peek at my phone for the score occasionally. This game must have been like making love to a skunk...think we all got more than we could enjoy.

[RiseUNT]

So is being the best 10 win team better than being the worst 20 win team? 

[97and03]

47 points.

[Salsa_Verde]

The women’s team beat FAU....so there’s that.

How did the men's baseball team do tonight?

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Gar. Bage.

Hey experts, why don't we just forfeit the rest of the season and tell the league that our 20 wins were a mirage?  Good god, two years ago we couldn't play with a high school.

[Salsa_Verde]

And now we’re getting beat in a high school gym...I guess that’s progress 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

Don't we need just 1 more win to be in the top pod for Bonus Play?  If so, let's take care of business with FIU and hit the reset button for the stretch...

This is still a very good team. We are just very thin and very banged up.

Conf. W/ Duffy  (5-1)

Since (3-4)

Luckily, if we can limp thru on Saturday and qualify for the top pod we will have an entire week to rest some injuries.

I think they're getting ready to start Little League.

A win or UAB/SoMiss loss and we are playing for a conference championship or at least a first round bye.

[Big Z]

We need to schedule better opponents next season to prepare for the conference games, too many poopoo games. Luckily we have a month to prepare for the conference tournament. Who knows? We might sand bagging it right now....

Honestly, that is not the team's problem right now.

Interesting how things go.  

We routed Marshall last Thursday by 27....three weeks after Marshall put 96 on FAU in a  12 point win.  And now we can’t muster 48 points on FAU?

College kids. 

Only have 2 seniors. One is the team MVP and the other is hurt.

I beg the differ, those games backfired. 

[Jason Howeth]

Yup, it happened again. I hosted a trivia show last night.

I think I'm a curse and I just simply have to take off of hosting trivia for the CUSA Tournament and whatever postseason we go to.

It's really not.  The team isn't deep - especially now with the injuries.  And even so it's not like we're that far out of 1st place right now.  If we'd gotten into league play and absolutely tanked you'd be on to something, but we didn't.

We will see what happens, we have a whole month to prepare.
