He's gotta cut down on the bad turnovers, but I think that will come with experience. I expect him to take a big leap next year and become more of a consistent scoring threat.

Replacing Talley will be much harder. Not to put too much pressure on Stone, but if he can provide an instant impact, that would be great!

i agree about Bond. he has high upside. Lee still has room to improve. and Perry is the only other guy on the roster that i think could produce more than he has this year. Maybe Alvano a bit, but i'm still not sold on him.

But that easier to do with Talley and Ward as scoring threats. Who outside of Lee is a consistent scoring threat next year?

He creates his own offense better than most players in the conference. I honestly don't think it matters too much who our supporting cast is. Karrington hasn't been a consistent scoring threat at all this year, actually.

I'm not saying we will be better without Karrington and Talley. Quite the opposite actually. It's just that Ray will score a lot next year if he keeps finding consistency.

Easier to do a double team on Raven without legitimate scoring threats.

Double teaming a guard isn't something you see very much, if ever. Teams might clog the middle more and force Lee to beat them with his shot, which he's hitting much more consistently this year.

His shot volume will likely go up next year. I think it will result in a higher scoring average, even though the percentages might not be as efficient. Will this equate to a more successful team? Who knows. I just see a dynamic scorer who's still improving.

Time to close this out before we give it away-again.

Why can't we put this garage squad away?

And here we go ! It wouldnt be a EMU hoops game without stress involved, would it ?

We are the worst as finishing games.

Deja vu

to be fair, sometimes we blow it at the start of the second half.

There we go Talley. way to hit the first.

We'll miss Talley he's the go to guy.

Talley gets shaky at times at the line, but he's clutch right now. good to see.

Well there's the 18th win!

Bettors in Vegas going crazy too.

We got the good free throw shooting Talley tonight. Saved the game for us. Whew.

Miami up on Akron. We need a miracle there....

i can't believe Central beat Toledo tonight. i was hoping our game would be a blowout so i could watch that one. Is Central for real? i didn't believe in them, but i think i've been wrong there

Ughhh. Looks like we are going to Millett again (assuming WMU beats NIU tonight). That Miami team looked awful in Ypsi. How are they beating all of these teams at the top of the conference?

Such a weird year.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think they have proved they are real quite awhile ago

Biggest turnaround I've ever seen. That team is largely comprised of kids they had last year, and they were embarrassingly bad. I still don't get how they got so good in just one season.
