Wait really? Aren't they transitioning down to D2?

Savannah St is 333 on Ken Pom, and the Tribe is 212. That system has no validity this early in the season when Richmond and UNCW are well above us.

We should win this game by like 20. They have a similar playing style as Marshall, but can't shoot. Something like 27% on the year from 3 point range

28%, 101 of 363, averaging about 11 three pointers made per game.

The thing to remember is that we shoot MUCH better in Kaplan, than we do on the road. We will need to find a comfort zone with the baskets, quickly, in each of the next three gyms, to keep making progress and have a chance to win.


Guards Dexter McClanahan (33%) and Austin Dasent (36%) are their best 3 point shooters.

They do get outrebounded by about 11 a game. We will need to keep that stat in play.

On the other side of the ledger, their quickness allows them to get about 20 turnovers a game.

They come in at 3-6. Their TV feed will start at 3:45 on Saturday.

This should be a warmup game leading up to Mason and Ohio State. Then, why travel all the way to Georgia to play a warmup game?

It's a college basketball true road game ... you know the kind that Duke, G'town, Syracuse all play ... oops ... it's not 1977 any more.

I will take a one point win, and don't care about style points.

Get the W ... get back on the vans ... stop for a few cases ... and have a good ride home ... damn ... keep forgetting ... it's not 1977 any more ... enjoy the water and bus ride home.

Just get the W!!!

Go Indians .... er ... Tribe!!!

Because, bless their hearts, they agreed to help us out last year with a home and home deal.... you know home and home .... VCU, Richmond, anybody that can breathe ... the joke that is the NCAA today.

No road games are easy, at least not for us. Last season, we won a total of 4(if you include the CAA tourney win vs. Elon). We lost 14 games on the road.

Other than 2009-2010 where we won some significant road games, we have struggled on the road. So far this season, 4-0 at home, 0-2 on the road. So, if we beat a high school team in their gym, I would take it.

We did play better at UCF than we did at High Point. We will need to play even better to compete at Ohio St and TCU and to win Saturday and in Fairfax.

Nathan will make the difference in this game. I predict he'll have 33 points and 13+ rebounds. Actually, if their guys miss a bunch of 3s, he may hit 17 rebounds.

High Point currently has a 340 RPI. Let that sink in for a minute. We lost to those guys by 34.

And to save you the research, there are 351 D-1 programs this year.

Yes, that's right. Remember that all these teams that chuck it up a lot always seem to have the occasional game where many of the shots go in. And we won't always shoot 60% either -- some games we will shoot like we did at High Point. I agree with the posters who say just grab the win and go.

I have high hopes that we can win our next three road games but, on the other hand, did I say that the next three games are on the road?

I agree. We can't take a SS for granted and mail this one in. Three road games in a row is a tough stretch and playing fewer bodies in the rotation leads to tired legs. Tired legs are not good for a team that lives and dies by the three. A loss in Savannah will cause legs to weaken. A win will continue to build confidence and put a bounce in our step.

It surprises me that their RPI is that low. We played poorly, but they are better than that indicates. It doesn't surprise me that we lost to a perceived inferior opponent. We've done it every year. That's why an at large bid will always be a fantasy. We can get ACC wins and sweep the top contenders in the CAA and we are guaranteed to drop at least one game to the 8th place team.

What would their RPI be if they didn't beat W&M by 34... Like 400? (Yes, I know there are only 351 D-1 teams)

That’s a 7 hr + drive. There ought to be a law against that!

Who gives a crap about these numbers. We are 4-2 so far, much better than expected. That's the only stat that matters - that along with how did you do in your last game.
