Leatherneck Nation

Boudy and Boys on the road.  One tidbit of interest is that the Roadrunner HC Steve Henson (no apparent relation to former UofI HC Lou Henson) graduated from the same HS (McPherson in KS) as former WIU assistant and now UofI HC Brad Underwood AND ALSO former Leatherneck player Ben Pyle.  Who else misses Ben's flowing locks on the court?


 
 

How was UTSA last year? I’m excited for our season to start and just hope it’s better to watch them then our football team

UTSA was 10-22 and 4-16 in conference USA this appears to be a winnable game 

ESPN has UTSA at -6.5, Massey says UTSA -5.5
So, they're favored, but not by much.

CBS Sports Prediction:   UTSA 74, Western Illinois 72
 

My 100% NCAA stats predictor says .....

Stats N/A

They are tall and apparently pretty beefy. Coach rounds out the poundage to even 20s or so  (220, 240, 255).
 
 

Any idea on the 3 new starters I’ll guess Lee and either Davis or Myers will be the pg but not sure who the 5 will be 

a Ben Pyle mention. He has the most insufferable social media I've ever seen from a college athlete.

I'll say Lee, Q, West, Payne, then Cissie or Joe P
