Respectfully, could we get MBB and the game date in the title of these threads? "Troy" could be Troy football, a discussion about something that happened at Troy, it could be about Zac Effron's character in high school musical.

Good lord the free throw struggles. How does that happen? Something we’ve been so improved at all season the whole team goes cold. Great job battling and getting hot again at exactly the right time.

Don’t need the 4 ft behind the line 3s. Bad shot selection is an issue overall. It feels like “Mantis don’t miss” has missed a lot this year. Hasn’t had a great year shooting. Edit: after looking up his stats it hasn’t been an off year. Just feels like it. 36, 30, and 34% from 3 the last 3 seasons.

Impressed by our defense’s discipline. Not biting on shot fakes. Playing really good help defense. USA is just doing a good job keeping it within reach. It feels like at any time we could pull away.

Seems to me their only leg to stand on is “every other conference has raised their payout, we haven’t so the conference MUST be derelict in its duties” and that seems awfully hard to prove.

They all knowingly and willingly signed the GoR. It's not the ACC's fault that their basketball and football programs fell apart. I'm sure the courts will see it that way when the ACC has been doing everything it can, or could, in terms of television. Signing that was very dumb. How on earth do you...

As of this morning, App’s rankings in Kenpom, NET, and BPI: 71 in kenpom 41 in net 72 in BPI Average them out, App is the consensus 62nd best basketball team in America. Completely unscientific way of looking at it, each rating system values different things and more data is needed but it’s a somewh...

Someone educate me, does an unsportsmanlike ejection usually hold over to the next game like targeting (in a typical non bowl game)? If so, does Sanatana Hopper’s second half ejection hold over to the first half of game one of next year?

if we blow this game with two calls made (I assume) by the head coach are the “Extend Clark” folks going to owe the “Fire Clark” folks an apology? Every call I’ve agreed with considering the conditions. That’s fine, but if we lose by 6 or less it will be entirely on the decision to go for it on 4th...

Being up 19-9 would be REALLY NICE right about now.

No way leaving 6 on the field comes back to bite us, right guys? I know it’s the bowl game and you want to have fun but ffs, take the dang points.

Stink is with Adidas, that’s all we need to know.

How does everyone feel about the POSSIBILITY (reading a lot into it) of App hypothetically becoming a Jordan/Jump Man school? https://x.com/tkhighcountry/status/1735499362816409893?s=46&t=xShLzzk5YSeJBx6HyH9qbw I'm sure a lot of App fans would turn their nose up at any association with UNC but you c...

I get it there really isn’t a better “arena” in hickory that doesn’t belong to Lenoir Rhyne and it is great community outreach for the program, just not a great facility.

I played a JV high school basketball game in this “arena” 20-something years ago when it was new. Not a good look for the program to be playing there. It’s not in any way a division 1 arena. Queens’ gym is vastly better than “The” Tarleton.

Queens is scrappy

They’re deceptive. Their record says “average” but they’ve put up a ton of points this season.

Really fortunate to withstand the multiple runs by Queens. Absolutely a fantastic bit of experience building for our team tonight. Needed a team to push us multiple times and teach our guys you have to stay sharp all game long.

Tonight App nation will travel well and knock the doors off QU. May take 5-10 minutes to get things rolling after an 8 day layover but App rolls 80-72.

Queens is no 246 in the kenpom ratings, App is 87.
