Re: President Huang stepping down

Running the U in Macomb and solving all the problems reminds me of tackling a bushel of black walnuts: 1) Messy and lengthy process - you can't rush it (some initial air drying always required) 2) The shells are stubborn things - various tools and techniques might be needed to ultimately crack them....

Re: vs Eastern Illinois

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the 2012-13 team was the last team to win 20 games. They are sitting at 19 wins right now and not to jinx them but I think they will get at least one more win this season to reach the 20 win plateau. I kinda wish they were still in the Summit this year to s...

Re: OVC Tournament Projections

It will be interesting to see how the fan attendance shapes up for each school this year  No more Murray St or Belmont around.  I am sure they travelled pretty good given their successes in getting to the Big Dance.  My two cents but if Southern Indiana shows up with 3K+ fans, they might be tough to...

Re: vs Southern Indiana

Attendance is confusing at best.  Does not one ticket get you into both games now?  So paid attendance is meaningless.   I will go out on a limb and say the 80-20 rule applies here.  That is, only 20 percent of the attendees do both games from tip to final buzzer.  The other 80 just do one game or n...

Re: vs Southern Indiana

I would not want to play these guys in our opening game of tournament in Evansville (their own backyard) but there is a good chance that will happen.

Re: vs Southern Indiana

They were good and we were almost as good today. Having clinched things, they were playing loose and easy.  We tightened up a little in the closing minutes.  They clamped down on McCowan when it counted.  How often does a player have an incredible game scoring the ball in a losing effort?  I would b...

Re: vs Southern Indiana

We are facing yet another first-team conference player today in Hernandez.  If he gets to the charity stripe a lot, it will probably be a long day for us.  When  you face a good scorer like a Minix or Hernandez, you really have to make a decision before the game starts.  Do you try to shut him down ...

Re: vs Morehead State

Minix now playing at 230 lbs with Morehead St this year.  His Southeastern NAIA days were at 210.  That is the change you need to make when moving up to the D1 ladder. He will get some looks at the next level for sure.
