🏀 2015 AdvoCare Invitational

Thursdays game against Xavier is on ESPN2 and its an early game. Not and easy draw in the slightest. Another good early test for the team

Unfortunately we failed the first test very bad. I don't know why we continue to schedule Dayton on the road but I hope they will stop now. We keep having these brutal schedules with a young team and then losing guys to transfer before they mature and then the benefit of that experience benefits someone else...ggrrrr

I hope we play well versus Xavier (historically a tough team) and I have been encouraged by the play of Ingram but he needs to be playing the two guard on offense mostly and let Coleman run the point as much as possible. I also think Riley Norris needs to be in the game more. He is a glue type player that makes other guys better.
 
That's a tough tournament because Xavier is usually a very good basketball team and we all know about Wichita St. I have stated several times already that I just want to see improvement as the year moves along. Hopefully, we can sneak up on a few teams.

This year will be a tough one. As avery brings in his style players. We have good players who can be a great team but lets face it, we have one legitmate big man and several above average swing players. We are gonna out rebounded and pounded down low by better teams. So I look for a 16-14 type of year with a good recruiting class and hopefully a 18-20 win team next year.

That being said, WE NEED TO GO TO GAMES AND SUPPORT THE TEAM! MAKE COLEMAN LOUD!!! like the old Plaid pallace days or even better. Thats what the great recruits want.. not to play in front of half full arenas and rarely get on TV.

Make it awesome.. And the recruits will come. Make it awesome even if our team is average.
 
@Destiny's Child I would love to see a return of the excitement from the old Plaid Palace days. This will be a rough year IMO win wise. I am not so sure a 16 win season is possible, personally, I look at about 12/13 wins. CAJ has players coming but they are a year from providing any help. Like I said, I just want to see improvement as the year progresses.

I agree just couldn't bring myself to put us having a losing record so I just put the worst winning record possible.

Still the fact remains that we need to go and support..be loud and make it fun. Encourage them to do their best, to give awesome effort and get ready for better days. Make going an event!
 
I was hoping that I would be able to listen to the game. Beside it being Thanksgiving it also my wife birthday. The last time it happen it was a football game, I paid dearly. We all are helping in the morning with Share a meal. I was told we had already got 250+ people sign up for a meal.
 
This one had a lot of similarity to the Dayton game. We started well in both of them, but when they raised the intensity level we did not match it. Besides an upgrade in talent, we need to get tougher mentally.

Hall had his best game so far. Good work on the boards.
 
They certainly dont have the most talent in the world but its definitely alot more exciting now even with the turnovers and missed shots than the walk the ball up the court and shoot a terrible shot with 3 sec left on the clock of the last 6 yrs. This season is gonna be a crapshoot for how many we win but if his recruiting turns out like i think it will this could be a really good team in a year or two
