Obviously, the primary objective needs to be to get back on a winning track, whether it's pretty or ugly, but I'm really hoping that we can put the Owls away early and get some minutes for Preston and Price as well as more than the usual quota for Shiloh. Unless everyone concerned feels Rode is 100%, I say sit him til he is. Of course every game is important, but with an at large no longer a reasonable expectation, it's all about being in the best possible position to win the ASUN tournament.

Probably means nothing, but I personally am hoping there is some significance to the fact that the promo tweet sent out by our MBB team for tonight's game featured Blake Preston.

With Rode getting 2 fouls early Ritchie goes to his 9th man and it's the walk-on Colton Reed.

Settle for 3 pointers too often. It's the lowest percentage shot in basketball. Best in the world is only hitting 43% success rate. Get to the basket until they stop it. That will open up the open looks from 3.

We really need to add some serious depth if we wanna take that next step forward as a program.

These are the little things that sets RM apart from your average coach. He really does a good job sensing things with this team and I really appreciate that.

This is why it is important to analyze the game past just the stat book. I good coach will understand the different personalities of his team and be able to react to those things. This is also true of good leaders in any line of work.

Absolutely. As I said these are the dog days of the season. Going over the same plays you’ve been going over since October can get you flat.
This is the type of thing you need to do as a coach. Despite what some on here say is just psychological crap. Ha
