7pm tip. Per KenPom: Excited for the season to start. Hopefully we can come out and put on a nice performance to wash some of that stink off of us from the Mansfield game. I'll be watching the livestream while watching U.S. / Mexico World Cup qualifying game. Last edited by Dukes2012 (11/11/2016 8:27 am) A10 Site Video Link As a side note, Loyola's coach is G.G. Smith, son of Tubby Smith. Kale's hand/wrist wrappped up? How bad is he hurt? Broken hand, 3-4 weeks. I sure hope I wasn't supposed to be impressed by this performance. This offensive just looks so bad We won. I watched the Penn State game at the same time. They looked as bad as us, but played a much better team (Albany) and lost. I hope Sunday goes well as I will be there to watch in person. Not pretty, but a W. Robinson 3 min.? Defense looks much improved. However, there's no go-to guy on offense right now. There's clearly talent there though. Also, liked what I saw from littleson and I. mike Pitt in the second overtime against E. Michigan. It's gonna be ugly on the Pitt board tonight. Last edited by duq81 (11/11/2016 9:27 pm) Defense looks much improved. However, there's no go-to guy on offense right now. There's clearly talent there though. These were literally my two takeaways. The offensive talent is there, someone just needs to emerge. Whoever mentioned Nakye is right too. I would guess he put about 25 lbs of muscle on, looks like a man out there. Much improved from everyone, Tarin Smith looked like a leader today. I think Lewis 2, mike, Blackman, and Lewis can all be big contributors offensively. Tarin will pull the strings. Again, evident we were much the better team, still haven't been able to pull away and show it yet. Still encouraged by the improvement from game 1 to today. Also, id say about 80% of the student section full tonight, and they were much more engaged than usual. Stayed after halftime too Pitt in the second overtime against E. Michigan. It's gonna be ugly on the Pitt board tonight. Talent level in western Pa. might be at all-time low. Pitt in the second overtime against E. Michigan. It's gonna be ugly on the Pitt board tonight. Talent level in western Pa. might be at all-time low. Can't argue with that. I wonder if Andy Toole regrets not getting out of there when he had a chance? The wheels seem to have come off with his best players transferring out. Also wonder how long Chambers can rely on recruiting rankings to stay off of the hot seat? His record is no better than Ferry's, and like with Ferry, a coach who had done a decent job was pushed out to open up his spot. He's in his 6th year, and the natives are getting very restless. Perhaps we can stir them up a bit more. I am also confused about Robinson. Abrahamson is out with a broken arm and Robinson gets less minutes than he did the first game. It's pretty obvious they are not going to play D. Lewis more than 22 or 23 minutes per game. So your "big" lineup is what? when you come up against teams with massive front lines. Yeah, I know, small ball is the thing. But seriously, when Lewis sits, you are going with 4 guards and I. Mike. Not sure that's going to work too well. My article on last night's game. Some good and some bad but they needed that win.

Here's an article on yesterday's win. Smith definitely looks rusty but you could really see the quality that he has. Looking forward to seeing what he can do once he knocks the rust off. Also, Blackman was really good on the boards yesterday, 8 pts 10 rbs.
