Of course. What else could MFer mean?

it's a dub, and I'll take it...but this team needs a lot of work. our defense isn't good enough for our offense to be so bad.

I’m just not sure what to make of this squad. Like what is the ceiling?

I agree with DJ about Massie being a potential difference maker offensively.

Massie is out of control a lot.  I am at the point that I would rather see Mason in Massie's spot.

the AAC is so much worse this year...I think we're top tier in the league, but I don't know where 2nd/3rd place will fall come tournament selection time. so far, this isn't a tournament team...maybe another NIT bid, but that's a statement made without my doing much looking at those 50-80-ish programs. 

again, I love that we have a real identity...I love that we clawed back into this game with a 10+ minute scoring drought...but until we have something that approaches offensive sets that are more than just 10-20 second iso-post backdowns we're gonna be little more than a top 50 NET team/12-seed/NIT regular. the next step is adding an offensive system to this solid defensive system

see? see how rough things are? I'm agreeing with this dude. +1 Ray.

Don't we have one or two guys on staff that can add a few more wrinkles to our offense?  How freakin hard can it be to juice this offense up even a little?

[CMJ]

I'd like to think we're still finding each other and by season's end our offense will be a bit more dependable.

Glad for win especially since just last week I was in Appalachian’s arena for niece’s graduation. I figured the line was too generous, though it would have been achieved by more intently slowing the game down after building a solid second half lead. I expect our team will improve. They will need it for conference play.
