Curious how much $$ dept has to eat this year w/ schedule. Believe they’re buying 2 D1s and 2 non-D1s. Also not playing a buy game.

I don’t understand the thought process.

We could not get a road payday game when people were uncertain of Brown's return. We took a home and home with Rice when the payday game efforts fell through. We play at Rice the Friday before Christmas. Dates to make things work for other teams was also an issue. It may not be as difficult to get home games next season as Rice and La. Tech will come here. MAC challenge should also continue. I don't know if the McNeese series will continue but if it does, the next game may be here as we will have gone to Lake Charles two years in a row. Efforts also being made to get UNO back on the schedule. We went there last year so it is there turn to come here.

Kyran Ratliff looks to be a dog!

Anyone know Chancellor White didn’t see the floor? Kid looks good on paper.

White was expected to contribute. Appears JC transfer Blake Butler (No. 10) is filling the role White was expected to have. That is to backup Kobe Julien.

Butler actually looks pretty good. Has a little more body size than White with only a slight height disadvantage. Good to know. Butler also looks pretty athletic.

Anybody else notice that JMU beat #4 Michigan State last night?

I was under the impression that the Mcneese contract ended this year as well but in that podcast with Jay Coach Marlin said they are scheduled to play in the Cajundome next year and then the contract is up.

I agree about the team energy. No slackers on this team. They’re all out there hustling and scrambling for every loose ball. The shooting will come around. Great student turnout and support by the true UL basketball fans.

YSU was a very athletic team. They just didn’t seem to jell with all the transfer players. 7, I counted on their roster.

We were at 17% capacity. I wouldn’t say that is a great turnout. Especially after making the big dance last season.
