So I was thinking and this is from memory. I can think of 4 games that the three of them played together last year. I believe it was Texas tech, Jackson state, Troy and lala. Lala beat us at home. And we had Brandon. This team is young, overhyped and has tremendous upside. Help me if I am wrong, because I am looking at a crown double in the st. Louis airport marriott after watching our guys fight their arses off in a hostile environment.

Chris, Jordan, and Tony were all freshmen last year. Tony hadn't played basketball competitively for almost a year and a half (absent the stint with the under 19 team).

The thought by the basketball experts in the media was that after a year of practicing with and against college talent, these talented kids would have developed their game more than they have.

Very proud of the kids, but as 03 said in the chat, that was probably the last time all year that we see man to man defense played against us. St. Louis isn't familiar with us and just stuck to what they do as opposed to adjustng to defending UNT... and still won.

This game was much much much closer than I thought it would be, but it's still a loss. One thing that is concerning is that this team can't score in a close game with under 2 minutes left. 3 times this year games have come down to the last 2 minutes. We are 0-3, with one of those losses against a D2 team. This needs to be bettrer going forward.

Don't think so. Tony wasn't eligible till after semester break, and the other two were in eligible when the second semester started.

Tony became eligible on Dec 18th against Jackson State. Jordan and Chris became ineligible starting against Denver on Jan 21st.

Wins: Jackson St, Grambling St, New Orleans, Troy, South Alabama, WKU, ULM

Losses: LSU, UALR, Arkansas St
