Just like every time we lost, certain posters of this board had a fire mick meltdown. I won’t be that extreme, but I will expect him to win in year one. I will expect him to make the tourney. This league is quickly on the rise, a few down years from UC could catapult other teams a head of us. If we ever miss the tourney 2 years in a row I’ll. Be calling for his head. Hopefully that never happens . |

Lol yep UCLA was an 11 seed that year and they return just 3 non crucial players from that team that only finished 21-12 I don’t even know whet your arguing. They fired Alford for not winning lol. So clearly the players aren’t winning players. |

all we can do is take it one game at a time, its hard to predict the season when there is so much unknown with this team and new coach. So lets start with the OSU game, I would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts and predictions on the game.
I will say the biggest thing I am worried about with this game in Columbus is Kaleb Wesson. He had his way with Brooks most of the game last year and OSU returns everyone except CJ Jackson and Keshawn Jackson. Then there was the factor of Brooks being in foul trouble most of the game forcing Nsoseme to play 14 minutes. Now with Brooks and Nsoseme gone we will be relying on Sorolla, Vogt, Diarra and Scott to guard the post. Obviously we all the know what happened last year, how the team shot 27% compared to OSU 40%. With OSU's roster basically the same and UC's roster much different (6 guys who played in this game last year are gone) it will be interesting to see how we match up. |

An AD is not going to say...well you didn't make the tourney so guess what? They will look at the season as a whole and give an evaluation based on all circumstances that led to the results. Perhaps even give some areas of improvement or kudos for areas we did well. Many fans are not known for being the most logical. But luckily those that make big decisions go through a much more rigorous process of evaluation. Pressure will rise without results from the fan base and maybe even a board...but the board and AD don't add that pressure from the start because it is counter productive. They will offer support first and foremost...then continually evaluate circumstances, progress, and methods. Just take a Xanax and offer full support for now. Let's see how he operates. |

I have a hard time seeing a 4 guard lineup having success against OSU. It can work against smaller teams, but against a team with true quality bigs, 4 guards are probably going to get abused on rebounding - especially since none of our guards really stand out as great rebounders. It's going to be a real quick test. Best case scenario is we win a close game. Worst case scenario is we get blown out. If I were betting, I'd bet on us losing by 15-20. If we faced OSU in March it would be different, but early in the year with our lack of chemistry and them most likely dominating us on the inside and I don't see a good result. |

I’ll be interested to hear the score of the Dayton secret scrimmage.
Sucks because I won’t get to see this team in person until OSU. I was in the UK for madness, and zero chance my daughter let’s me miss Halloween for an exhibition game against Thomas More. I think OSU beats us, but not by much. But what concerns me is that Wesson isn’t just a big body, he can stretch the floor and shoot. Covering him will be tough. I think we lose because of rebounding and because of Wesson. |
