Will Mens Basketball finish above .500?

ETSU Fans need not apply.

I say yes, but it will be awful close in my opinion with our out of conference schedule.

I'm with KB, I really think we have the potential to be over .500, but how will we fare out of conference will be critical. Except last season I believe since moving to Division 1 we've been right around .500 in conference, so .500 on the season would be a dramatic improvement. I'm just pulling that off memory though, so you might want to check that.

if we stay healthy...yes

I think you are above .500 and surprise some people. I especially like your all-freshman guard, I think his name is Woods. You win the game with strong guards and he looks to be the kind of guy you will be able to ride home with some wins for a few years.

We'll have to impress in conference play.. It'll be close but I think we get there.

I hear that Jay Mitchell is playing out in texas and he is doing well. He is healthy and yes he is on the team. We are going to be ready to rock next year with more healthy talent. Look at our available players this year in comparison to last. Forward play is going to be MUCH better. We will see more talent and a deeper roster. All of our forwards were with the team last year so the redshirted and injured players know the system and the team. Our young guards have a year under their belt and should have more talent to dish too. This years squad is much better than lasts.

I am in agreement, we just have to turn that talent into wins. I have heard conflicting reports on Jay Mitchell...so I hope you are right about him returning and being healthy. That would be best for all parties involved. I guess we won't know until the school year for sure. A healthy Ladaris, Heramb, Cummings, and Mitchell would go a long way to improving our team.

I was told by a player today that he is returning for sure.

Good news kr...I hope your source was correct.

Awesome news, thanks for sharing

I know you said not to apply, but I couldn't help myself. Pretend I didn't vote. Take one out of the "no" column if you wish. But we all know it's true.

That said, I hope you have a fine season.

I hope you are ready to wear a new avatar during the tournament this year. I am feeling good about our bet.

What does your ooc look like?
