On to the next one...

No Talley again, so it will be interesting to find some offense in this road game vs an old CAA foe.

Looks like there is a free stream, but I'm not positive on that. https://portal.stretchinternet.com/towson/

Wrong sport! I don't want to think about that play ever again Petey!

I'd say 50% chance I make it to this game! Gotta get all my adulting done in the morning though. If the game were at 7pm, I would def be there.

I was thinking about it but unfortunately my Saturday is booked. I've wanted to check out their new arena but I don't care for Towson enough to go lol. This would have been my reason but I didn't plan enough for it

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. If it was a night game I'd be 100%. I did look at tickets and it looks like good seats are available and pretty cheap ($16).

At the end of the game on Wednesday night, on the post game radio show, Coach Jones had more emphasis on Towson than he did for URI, who were ranked before losing. It seems Towson is a good team. He said they are just a slightly smaller version of ODU.

Thats the way it should be. One game at a time.

yep. I'll be there, 5th row behind the ODU bench!...have to keep a heads up, that's close enough to get hit by a foul ball...or a Monarch shot attempt...first bball game since I moved from ORF 4 years ago...Towson beat GMU and played Maryland tough (they were ahead most of the game but lost at the end)...no great feats but not expecting a cake walk...the way this team has been shooting I doubt there is such a thing as an easy win...

speaking of shooting (I know we were) we desperately need to establish an offensive identity and maintain a better rhythm... it seems like most offensive moves on this team are rushed...I don't mean runnin, gunnin rushed (gawd the pace couldn't be any slower which contributes to the problem IMO), I mean when anyone gets the ball (sans Caver) they seem panicked and are trying to drive, dish, or shoot too fast...our big guys just chuck the ball at the rim like it's a live grenade, hoping the basket is up there somewhere...the entire offense has a pickup game quality--a pickup game with mostly teens...

FWIW, Jones was not at all thrilled about the team jacking up 3's to start the last game. He let the bench know several times, and chewed out the team at a media timeout for the duration of the timeout... that's a long time to yell.

What an appropriate description.

Yes, will be there with 3 friends from Cheaspeake/VA Beach. Not a bad drive from Roanoke. Hoping to see a better performance than B4A.
Go Monarchs!

I'll be there with Monarch Asylum and a friend from Towson.

Can't miss this one, will definitely be there to support. Wife may come along as well. Go Monarchs!

If we got the stop, we would have won. If we won, we would have gone 10-1 and 7-1 in the CAA, won it outright, Had a 1st round bye and wouldn't have faced off against Georgia Southern... And Heinicke threw his first and only pick in the closing minute of this game. All of that rode on one damn play

Make it go away!
