The worrisome issue to me is the rebounding and the lack of offense. Also worried that MM at the 3 and Reneau at the 4 isn't going to work out. MM is more of a stretch 4 it seems.

Walker may not be a great player but he's a hell of a team player. Nobody rooting harder than him.

We played good defense for once there.....why the foul?

Meh, they are shooting 32% from three. But we do need to make them drive the ball.

Army sets screens. We run a ******* weave handoff with no action.

MM and Malik killing us defensively.

Got to be ******* kidding

Hoping we play a dominant second half that can make us forget the first half some.

Or an Illinois football defense.

Their recruiting rankings are private first class.

I think we actually made three. 2 from X and one from Banks.

Gunn simply isn't playable right now. Banks isn't far behind that. Putting them both in at once and you get what you deserve. Would like to see some combinations with Sparks and Ware both in and Reneau out.

That first half was Louisville bad.

That's the whole thing -- Reneau doesn't make that forearm so obvious and that's a blocking foul. But Malik never puts himself in triple threat position so things like that are going to happen.

Malik refuses to pass it back out.

That's what I was saying about X......have no idea why he sat on the bench with the rest of the starters for so long. Punishing everyone at once doesn't identify where the issues are.

Which would be what? If you start slow I'm going to put CJ Gunn on the court who has done nothing to deserve minutes? It's wasting opportunies to get players who will normally be on the floor together time to gel.

Can anybody tell me what the hell X has done to deserve the bench time tonight? He had 7 of the 9 points when he was in and assisted on the other. At no point in the season will you need all five bench guys on the floor at the same time in an important game.

How about we don't **** around and put our entire ******* bench on the floor

UAB up 7 on Maryland now, 44-36, 13 minutes left. 18-6 UAB run.

Army starts two Indiana kids: 6'9" Charlie Peterson. Played high school ball at North Central. Averaging 5 points and 7 rebounds. For his career averaging 7 points and 5 rebounds. 6'2" Blake Barker from Columbus North. Averaging 3 points per game.

Jon Sumrall. Head coach at Troy for the past two seasons. 41 years old, 20-4 in the past two seasons. Defensive minded coach. Was co-defensive coordinator at Kentucky in 2021 before taking the head coaching job at Troy.

No problem. Just trying to add some levity. Army has ran a 10 man rotation with no one playing a ton of minutes -- Jared Cross has led them with 25 mpg and he comes off the bench. Their defense hasn't been bad but offensively have been putrid. Nobody averaging in double figures through two games. They play at a snail's pace, so will try to have a low possession game. 52 of their 113 shots so far have been from three but they've only hit on 25% of their threes and hitting 52% from the line.

How about a neutral 'I'd rather have (insert whoever you think would be the worst political figure) to coach than Dakich as our head coach!' Because if there is something I think we can all agree on, (insert whoever you think would be the worst political figure) sucks and (the action that you think signifies their suckage) was downright criminal!

He even fails at the stupid low blow by calling Carson Cunningham a 'tremendous player at Purdue'. As if Cunningham's play at Purdue could hold a candle to Woodson's at IU. So his point is what? That Woodson didn't win a bronze star or write a number of books? I am shocked that since military accomplishments and authorship are THE measures of coaching that no one has hired Colin Powell.
