    We battled. Unfortunately this is about what we expected. Until the young guys get the confidence to knock down some shots we'll struggle to score consistently.
    A young team on the road against a veteran team is a tough match-up. Monday could be brutal but hopefully it'll have us ready for KC.

      Their at large chances are nowhere near done. Lots of good basketball teams still on the schedule. They will get better.

        He was wearing red and pictured when they were on the Richmond coach. Glad someone else noticed so I don’t keep thinking I’m crazy. I went back and looked after the game and it’s definitely him. I googled strength coach at Richmond and haven’t found anything yet but it threw me off to see him.

        edit: I know no one cares but he was at the game. Found some stuff on instagram. I think he has a connection with both teams.

          Would like to see a shot chart for us tonight to see how many X's there were right at the rim!

            I don’t think there’s a lot to take away from this game. We were competitive first half and just stunk it up second half. We’re going to need a whole non-con of data to know who this team is. And this Virginia trip is a suicide mission that won’t tell us much other than we have a long way to go.

              Perhaps we should've hit the portal

                Difference in the game was shooting. Check out the stats. On the road against a pretty good team we were pretty even every where except 3’s. We will get better. Second half hurt. Number of ****s around the rim that would not fall and theirs did

                  I agree. I think we should change the entire way we run our program based on a road loss on November 11th.

                    Is there a real reason we're not full on scholarships? Post of me wonders if it's a budget thing since we were over last year... I would certainly hope that's not the case, but I just don't understand why we're two short.
                    To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

                      One thing I can count on with this forum is a bunch of doomsday talk. I thought we played well. The shots just weren’t falling. I definitely believe in this team and know those will be dropping far more often during most of our games.

                        One of those two open 3s we had when down 11 goes in I feel like this game could have gone a little differently.

                          Overall, played with determination and toughness. I think we will hang tough Monday too.

                            I think it's simply wanting to have rides for this recruiting class. We looked at a couple guys in the portal, didn't have a match and banking two starts to balance classes again.

                            We were finally balanced and, boom, COVID.

                              Yeah, and I’m sure it’s not that we didn’t try to hit the portal either. Hell, we kind of went well out of our way late to take a chance on Peksari.

                              I have hopes, and he could be great, but I think that may have been a circumstance pickup

                              Real hard to critique our scholarship distribution given the class we’re about to bring in.

                                You can be an apologist all you want, but not bringing in portal talent in 2022 is crazy for a mid major program. Zero reason we couldn't attract a guard that could give us 20-25 minutes a night to help take some of the scoring ease off of Bowen. Adapt or get left in the dust. This team will be lucky to finish in the top half of the Valley (and tonight doesn't change that, I've believed that before tonight)
