put a beat down on these guys and make them pay for the football fiasco.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

I have no idea if this team is any good or not, but they've got some sweet names. Alante, Keierre, Terel, Hikeem, Jyles, with Saadig coming off the bench. I like.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Their RPI is 351 which is last in the nation.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

These guys have some similar size to us. Champaigne and Smith are both 6'9 and Muhammad is 6'7. Other than that no one else is above 6'5. Alante Fenner is a 6'5 guard but only 180 which gives him about the same build as MacDougall (6'4, 175).

Richards is shooting 50% (67% from 3) but only 6.6 ppg which tells me he doesn't shoot all that often. It looks as though Devan Williams and Josh Montgomery are the leading contributors in terms of minutes and points. ESPN might be missing stats from one game because the Tigers have played 9 games but it doesn't list any players having played in 9 games. So other than that little anomaly they have 9 players who have played in 8 games and 7 have averaged 15+ mpg so they go deep. The question though is what is the quality compared to the quantity.

The game hasn't started yet. They still have time to back out.

Based on this, we should have no trouble. They sound just like the guys in the "loser" section of the Omega rush party in "Animal House"

I hope their basketball team isn't any better than their football team that backed out on us

How do you feel about "the same"?

SSU football = 1-11 with a 27-20 W over Fort Valley St (non D-I)

SSU basketball = 2-7 with 73-63 W over TTU (no idea but non D-I) and 87-60 over Florida National (also non D-I).

Their last D-I win in either sport was in March against the great powerhouse (if you're a Hawk fan) Maryland-Eastern Shore.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Our current strength of schedule is #18, I feel that's going to take a big hit after tomorrow night's game.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Looking ahead a few days: According to the "Pick Your Seats" Map on UNITix, it looks like there's approx. 500 tickets available for the VCU game this weekend. I'm not sure how accurate that map is, and I realize there is a difference between the amount of tickets sold and amount of people who will actually show up, but I would love to have a big crowd this Saturday.
I would love to see 6,000, but I'm really afraid that wont happen. Probably closer to 4k than 6k.

There will be 6K for VCU.

Re: Up Next: Savannah State

Bohannon is just ice cold from 3 this season. I'm actually glad when he fouls since it might force him out of the game. Yikes.

He's too good of a shooter to be missing this many open shots. I hope he hasn't tweaked anything since last season that is throwing him off.

Boyle defies all basketball experts or anyone who has ever watched basketball and says Savannah State has a nice team.
