Charlotte (1/18/14)

[CMJ]

Can we get a win streak going? The last time we played there was one of JJ's biggest wins IMHO (set the table for the rest of that '06-07 campaign...which set the tone for our next several seasons). If we win there on Saturday, could it be the same for Benford?

No

Charlotte is one of the most balanced teams in our conference and one of the tallest teams. They've knocked off Kansas State and Michigan earlier in the year but have not been playing as well of late.

In their 90-86 OT win against Tulsa they had 6 players in double figures. This did not include their leading scorer, so they have plenty of scoring options unlike Marshall who just had 2 options. They also feature two of the conferences leading rebounders in 6'11" center Mike Thorne Jr. (7.8 rebounds/game) and 6'9" Willie Clayton (9 rebounds/game). Should be a nice challenge.

No

I agree...was just trying to be positive.

If you look at the conference standings right now, it's basically the final football standings flipped.

We had that issue with Tulane. We got out bodied by a much larger team. I hope this issue is addressed before this game or it could get ugly. We need Colman and Gaines to be in their A game in the post. Edited January 18, 2014 by Andrew

That seems addressable. GROW, DAMN IT. GROW!

Will Tony Denton sneak some Bojangles into the Charlotte locker room before the game to get them to play sluggish? Who knows.....

A REAL man would know how to use his TV.

Pretty sure the mouse was from the south so his name was Mr Bo Jangles. Jingles is a northern name, but I digress. I think there's a game tonight?

Good game so far!

Charlotte 40

NT 37

Halftime

They put on a pressure defense and we fell apart for 90 seconds or so before CJ took over and got us back in it.

[BillySee58]

Are we actually a good road team? Other than that second-half debacle at BYU we really haven't played bad in a true road game all year.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

6 point lead for the Mean Green!
