Nothing that has happened today is new or surprising. Queens came out cold and the Phoenix had a great chance to build a big league but so many turnovers. 2nd half has been bricks and runouts by the Royals. Queens has a ton of talent and experience for a first year D1 team- probably has a chance to be top 200ish. GB isnt close to that level right now sadly. Really hoping there isnt an upset later today and GB draws Morgan State.
This line being GB +7.5 is just disrespectful. Hope I am not the only one throwing a little change at the Phoenix today. Lets go get a W!
No it is reality, one thing you can say about recent Nix teams is they play consistent, hang around in 1st half and then the bottom falls out in the second half.
This is a very winnable game for us! Rose and Dailey finally seeing some PT. I like our combination of Davis, Blake, and Ziegler and I wish those 3 got the bulk of the minutes. A lot of our lineup is with 4 guys who I consider to be "guards" and just one big, I'm not sure how well that can serve us in the long run. We don't seem to be moving as fluidly on offense as we did against Wisconsin.
I am not sure if there are winnable games on Nix schedule, you can bet there are teams that figure the Nix is an easy win for them.
At this rate, we may not make it to 5 wins this season. What is the buyout on Will’s contract…..are we still playing the buyout on Linc as wel?
I thought Linc got hired somewhere and that should minimize some of the payout - going from memory.
Agreed - he is an assistant coach right now at High Point University. I also think we get to offset our payments by whatever he is making. But Linc maybe negotiated a salary from High POint of like $1.00 per year just to stick it to us. Hopefully that possibility was addressed in his buyout.
I hope that they continue to play the entire roster with double figure minutes in the hope that we can find someone who can make an open shot. I agree the 4 guard offense is going to bite us in the ass, especially if none of them can make a shot.
Honestly, on the floor I would prefer to see Cade Meyer and then almost any other combination of 4 guys who have not played here prior to this season. God bless Nate Jenkins and Randy Tucker for not transferring, but our offense looks hypnotic when Nate is running the point.

That wasn't fun. I didn't think the Queen's trapping and pressure was that great but the amount of TO's say otherwise.
They aren't going to win a game anytime soon if they can't value the rock more.
Nate plays because he is the only guy talking. He directs the traffic and keeps guys kind of locked in. I hate to say it but things would not be better with other guards playing at this time. Someone else needs to unseat his position of vocal leader if you want a new starter.
Am I the only who notices some of the guy’s bad body language once they’re down and the other team is making shots? Doesn’t make me confident to say that this team can deal with adversity with guys putting their heads down and shaking their heads or looking disengaged.
