The basketball team is terrible.

….make that 3 in a row! 71-67 over Southern. Tough game, but our guys were tougher. I don’t get the lack of interest for this team? They’re 6-3 & sitting in 3rd 1/2 way through conference play. Now we get 3 in a row at home. Arkansas St playing really well. That’s the 3rd one……

Be lucky to win 12 games.

Hey Thunder: In hindsight (always 20/20!), are you surprised that they have won 13 with 9 games left in the regular season?

Yes. Credit where it's due, these guys are grinding out wins, which shows a lot of character. This all coincides with Martin playing much better than he was at the start of the season. Don't know if the kid was injured or had some things going on outside of basketball, but he went through about a 6 game stretch where he just wasn't himself. Glad to see a bit of a resurgence, but let's wait to gloat until we see how they do in early March.

Have to also give credit to 🌽. He seems to have been able to add enough portal talent to make us competitive. Team chemistry is good, and in game coaching (lacking the last several seasons) is making a big difference. Nutter has been missing since @ JMU, and I assume he sustained a concussion. Otherwise, we’re healthy heading into the 2nd half of conference play.

Interesting we shot less than half the number of 3s and more FTs than GA Southern. I don't know how often that has occurred over the last fee years.

And we won... Just saying...

If we were not in the worst conference in the nation we would we have lost all the games on the road!

Check out the conference tournament format. If you are seeded last you would have to play 7 games to win the championship. If you are seeded 1 or 2, you'd only need to win 3 games.

Yes, over on the SBBBS site, it’s being referred to as the Sun Belt Royal Rumble Conference Tournament

Another thread providing consistent opportunity to mock the former poster, Sammy. The real token effort.

If you will recall, last year only 12 made the tourney in Pensacola…..

Cellar dweller ULM surprises USA in Monroe, 77-66. Herd now tied for 2nd (along with 3 others) for 2nd, 1 game back of Arky State.

We lost our three conference games by 1, 2, and 3 points. Could just as easily say we'd be undefeated had we been at this level in the earlier part of the conference season.

 

[W-S HerdFan]

The talent level on this team is inferior to last season. Voyles and Crawford were both capable of scoring at will....this year's team doesn't have anyone near that, and we all ew seeing the results.....hopefully corny can build a team with depth and skill.....we shall see. Slay hopefully can be the centerpiece to that structure......

MM: After watching the last several games, I would argue that we traded up this season vs last year. Speer > Crawford & Dawson > Voyles. Also, the addition of the brothers Gibb & Mingo have made us more than competitive as far as the SB goes.
3 game homestand. Should easily handle Gst & Coastal, setting up a huge game next week vs Arky St.
Go HERD!

Occam’s Razor: When faced with multiple explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest one is usually the correct one.

I kid, I kid. Liked the way they fought back from 20 down. No one to blame but themselves for this L, though. They made enough stops to win, but failed to convert their chances.

 

[HerdFan300]

Just when you think they've turned the corner.....they run into a wall. And it didn't help that Geo. St. barely missed in the first half. BTW, what happened to Ryan Nutter? I know he got knocked loopy a few games ago, but any news?

HF300 - I’ve asked the same question. I couldn’t locate him on the bench tonight. It’s never brought up with 🌽

So many posters now gone. Sam, Rifle, even you were absent for a spell. The age of the classic posts is winding down.

 

[W-S HerdFan]

Obinna said it right after the game. We came out soft on defense, & Ga St capitalized.
If we play defense the entire game like we did the last 6 minutes, we’d probably see a different result. And he ended with “we’ll be fine.”
I’ll be surprised if we don’t play stingy D from the get go tomorrow.

Also: 4440 in attendance last night. Better!

I was simply a casualty of unfair business practices.

Looked like a solid crowd again. Very fortunate to get out with a W. We will need a much better effort Wednesday night.

Got into too much foul trouble and once again Kai Spears and Wyatt Fricks played horribly. If I were Corny I would not let these two enter another game unless it were a late blowout. Erich Harding shows some promise and if he stays will be good but he isnt quite ready yet.

 

[W-S HerdFan]

Oldie - Ryan Nutter is still not available, (concussed), so 🌽 doesn’t have a lot of options. Spears has been decent imo. Wyatt is too inconsistent right now, but again we can’t expect Nate & Obinna to play all 40….

we do have the Cade brothers who can at least play defense..Fricks amd Spears can do nothing well .

Wyatt played 13 minutes. He had 5 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 blocked, 1 steal, 0 turnovers, but shot poorly. We need him to play and he shot 5 for 5 including 2 3 pointers in a road game! He is capable but has certainly been inconsistent. Kai played 17 minutes, scored 2 points had a rebound, 1 assists

Wyatt Played 13 minutes, 4 points (1 for 5 & 2/3 free throws), 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 0 turnovers, and 1 assist. He played well on the road and had a 5/5 game with 2 3 point shots. He is capable and we need him. Kai played 17 minutes, with 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 turnover. Again, we need him to spell either Mingo or Speer. Both can help us down the stretch.
