Looked terribly slow on the defensive end also.

Slow start, slow middle, slow end. I turned the game off before halftime. Could not watch it anymore.

Man a 20 point loss to stAte. This program is in really bad shape.

Arkansas St is solid this year. Has a good win at Memphis. Should win the league if they stay healthy. Only a couple teams in the Sun Belt UL simply can’t compete with this year, and they are one.

They got beat by an average James Madison team. And South AL who is off to a fast start. Again, Marlin had a talent issue. We do not have one kid starting that could start for any other team in the league.

They did. JMU was a bad loss, South Alabama score was surprising but even the top teams will lose a couple on the road.

ASU needs to shoot it a little better from 3. But seems to be ASU or USA’s championship to lose this year.

And, sadly, you are right about the talent discrepancy.

Thanks for engaging on some sports chatter. Beats talking about mascots.

Red Wolves 2 losses occurred on a four game road trip. Not unusual for even good teams to lose a couple in such a situation. They are undefeated at home. Don’t be surprised if they go undefeated in Jonesboro which will definitely put them near top of league

More than likely, ASU coach (former Nate Oats asst) is a short-timer in Jonesboro. He’s the type of hire would imagine Dr Maggard is picturing.

Kobe Julien also didn’t play in either of those games. He is not spectacular by any means but he is a huge difference maker.
