Wow...what a difference from the Queens game. DD must have opened up a can'O whoop ass because we found game....
Go Herd!

Not until we play Little Sisters of the Poor. I hear they are loaded this year.
At least we dont have to face Charleston Barber's College... They didn't have enough players make the cut.
Miami will be a bit more of a barometer for this team. Tech was pretty bad.
Agreed... We have some pieces, the question is can our coaching staff put those pieces together into a coherent team?
Miami Ohio is a low level MAC team... It's a game we should win in theory... If we lose to them, it doesn't bode well for when we play better MAC teams in Toledo, Ohio and Akron.
shooting 34% from 3 as a team for the season.
Fricks is the only player with a sub par % right now, but that's on only 8 attempts.
Or we just played a team that is not as good as Queens College of Charlotte.
All that has been established are two things.
- MU is not as good as Queens College, which isn’t going anywhere and better than Tennessee Tech, which isn’t going anywhere either.
- DD continues to run the same gimmick 3 point deal, which can work if you have a hot night, which is about every 4th or 5th game.
BTW, what happened to the announced new black floor?
According to RealTimeRPI... Tennessee Tech is 354 out of 360 as of this morning.
They are 3 spots ahead of Louisville (yes the real Louisville is 357 in RPI right now at 0-2).
Marshall is now 135 in RPI.
Louisville is once in a lifetime bad. They lost to Bellermine, which is in its second year in D1, and Wright State. Also lost to D2 Lenoir-Rhyne in exhibition and had to rally to beat NAIA Chaminade. There are no easy nights in the ACC, and their pre-conference games include SEC co-favorites Arkansas and, of course, UK.
The state is also still after them over the arena deal. Pretty much the city and the university cooked the books to make it look like the YUM Center was a good idea, which is wasn’t.
MIami and Millett Hall have been to our Cagers what BGSU and Doyt Perry have been to our footballers...I have low expectations for Thursday night!
I think this team could gel into something pretty decent if they fall out of love with the 3 pointer. Bad shots is what will beat this team. We saw it last night when Tenn tech would make little runs. Guys throwing up 3s and standing around the 3 point line. Make the extra pass and take easier shots from 15 and in and we will be hard to beat. We crashed the boards well at certain times last night when everyone was not standing around the 3 point line. What is the point of having length if they are not playing around the basket?
No question the Yum Center has been a boondoggle and a White elephant for the taxpayers of Kentucky. The counter argument is that Jefferson County has carried the rest of the state for 25 years which also has a grain of truth to it!
Handlogten can run, jump, rebound. I think Goran will get plenty of boards....only it will be the pine boards on the bench. This freshman will be good as the season progresses.
I don't know what the Vegas odds will be but Massey has us as a 1/2 point favorite. Playing on the road in bb isn't easy. meanwhile we get the other 3 mac teams at home. If we get beat at home that's a tell tale sign.
