A game where if we play anywhere near our best, we should win. I think Drew Lowder will have "a little extra" for this game, given that he played for Eastern Michigan a few years ago and left, and he is from that area as well.
The CSU Superfans will NOT be doing this road trip. I decided to go to the CSU women's home game at the same time and see the banner raising ceremony.

Wouldn’t that statement be true against almost every opponent of ours, IF WE PLAY ANYWHERE NEAR OUR BEST WE SHOULD WIN…… |

They are 323 in Ken Pom, if we lose this game it’s a disaster.
Our next 3 games are actually all can’t lose games (and should win handedly) if you want to be respected come March seeding.
EMU - 323
ETSU - 268
Alabama A&M - 338

Disappointing game thus far. Glaring hole of not having a play making guard like Acuff on EMU, can really hamstring our ability to score.

Shooting splits of 40/20/50 just not gonna win games. This is hard to watch. Lack of effort and intensity from too many. Between missed layups and missed free throws (lack of focus) it’s almost like some of them aren’t really interested today. |

Need talent is right. I was concerned about the guard play coming into this season but I was hoping some of the new guys would prove me wrong. Lowder is his usual streaky inconsistent self Tevin Smith has been underwhelming Rice,Pryor,Robinson all jags. There's been Talk about Young not playing I have to wonder with this shaky guard play if he was any good he wouldn't be redshirted I mean there playing a guy who was a marginal D2 player Robinson instead

That was such a disheartening game. We go on the road and play Duquesne, a top 4 A-10 team and #75 in KenPom, to a 2 point game with great effort. Today, they play like they don't even care. Hate to say it but this team really feels like it plays to the level of the competition.
Play a near top 100 team in Ohio? They play to that level and beat a tough opponent. Play a #320 team out of 362 D1 teams? They play to that level and lose to an IUPUI/Green Bay level opponent.
In the end it is on the players to bring it every game, but when an entire team plays a game and looks disinterested and plays with no heart, a good chunk of that is on the coaching staff too.
The Duquesne game could have raised CSU a seed line above 16. This loss today guarantees this team will be a 16 if they do somehow make the tournament.
Very disheartening doesn't begin to say it.

REALLY bad loss....but I am not sure it "guarantees" a 16 seed if we make the tourney. Anyone hear any more about Debrick's injury?...He looks like he is going to be a nice player for us...

It makes no sense, unless he's just a good shooter like Drew. Which is ok but we need a point guard. We have the bigs I.E Tristan,Arnett,Debrick,Tae, but the guard play has been up and down. LOWER isn't a point guard. |

Anyone hear any more about Debrick's injury?...He looks like he is going to be a nice player for us... in order to negate this bad loss,they will have to first Beat St Marys,not impossible, but is a tall order and run the table, both ain't gonna happen. This is a very good team that lost to an inferior EMU team they should have beat.The difference was Acuff, we had no stud guard like Appleby/Cole to counter him. This team is a elite PG away from making a FAU/Butler/Gonzaga type run. And I don't think Young is the answer either and the coach knows this. Notice all the guards recruited for 2024? |

1 step forward 2 steps back Need talent folks We have the talent, just lacking the leadership, nothing against Tristan, he's good,but doesn't have the leadership skills, either he or Tae need to start taking over games,both have the ability,but their not leaders. We also don't have a stud play making point guards. Hopefully Tevin will be that guard,or Robinson, but it's not looking like it. Rice is good defense wise,but is no playmaker. |

Acuff had a career day. Not minimizing his talent and importance to EMU, but I believe Rice could have limited him a little more if he played. Hindsight is meaningless now, but I don't believe this team is doomed. Sometimes a team needs a punch in the gut to figure it out. Losing this game isn't as bad as it was losing to Notre Dame College.

Hopefully this a wake up call, especially to Tristan,Tae they both are program changing talents and need to just start taking over when the others aren't getting it done. When the game is on the line the offense needs to go throw those two, with Woodrich and Lowder as their back up. Pryor is a wild card. |
