Not sure if I’d go that far, but it’s not an indefensible position.

Me. I need to take a chill pill.

Then CMW needs to give him the green light to shoot the first open shot, even if it’s a 3 point shot.  Quit shot faking and driving.  We aren’t a good shot faking team and the primary purpose on driving is to get to the free throw line and we haven’t been a good enough free throw shooting team the last two years and if the first exhibition game is any indication, we may not be good this year.  Now I am not saying we need to shoot 20-25 per game but at least shoot at least 15-20 times per game!

Not me. I'm not going to get too wound up about it until the lack of 3s keeps happening after a few games.

To say our starters will have a serious height advantage would be a massive understatement.

Yep.  As an NAIA team, their height is so-so.  6'11" and 6'10", but after that not any size at all.  Etchison was a D1 kid and is likely their most talented, but he was just a back end MAC rotational player he's under 6 foot.  Bryan actually did play for them last year and averaged 9 points -- did begin his career at Ball State but think that was as a preferred walk on.

Unfortunately that means we’ll probably just see an inside game

Probably so. Would be nice to see us use the advantage to try and get shots up under pressure.

Oh Woody, saying…”Assembly Skodjt Hall.”

Clearly, he never paid attention to or cared for the official name change.
