Yep, there is still 2/3 of a basketball season left unfortunately.

Damnit...

Ugh...I have more interest in if Blaine leaves than the rest of the season.

Me too. Interested to see how Palmore progresses too.

It is really hard to get interested in this game. I wish the best for the team, but I guess more people are probably just waiting for the announcement at this point.

I agree. Since football is over its just going to depressing being on here. At we have the Lady Monarchs.

Odu wrestling could use some support!

Man, I'm glad I got my money back for this trainwreck of a season, but I have a feeling there will be many more chances to do so on the back of blaines terrible coaching. I'm thinking Drexel, even as poor as they've played recently, will still beat us by 30. Will be very interested to see what the line for that game is. Painter won't be able to post up on any of their big boys and we have NO ONE who can stay with massonet or Damion lee. Even bazemore couldn't shut down lee last year.....this year? It's gonna be u-g-l-y.

I, for one, am very much looking forward to Friday's game.

Partly for the basketball.

And partly because my publicly so stating will be so irritatingly bothersome to Team EverRespect-Razor -- sort of like an air horn blasted at a bunch of cats.

Go Monarchs (either with or without Coach Taylor).

You are quite full of yourself if you think anyone cares whether or not you are looking forward to the game.

You are quite full of yourself for posting your opinion about this season in the original post, then disrespecting someone else's. You have a negative outlook on this season, and that's fine, but you don't need to act like that.

Which game were your referring to because Baze torched him for like 37 at home.

Yes, but the point was that Damion Lee lit up the stat sheets for Drexel - in both games. 24 pts @ ODU and 17 pts vs. ODU in the tourney. He was definitely lighting us up.

Wow 20.5 is sick and even more impressive considering he was single covered the entire season playing alongside Frantz Massenat who was the best player in the league and Chris Fouch who is an assassin. Their biggest mismatch was Samme Givens.

Not many guys in the country can make wide open corner three's or take two baseline dribbles to get to unattended painted area. How's he doing this season without Fouch and Givens by the way?

I am simply defending Lee's play last year. I'm neither discussing this year, nor do I agree with Razor's predictions of a 30 point loss (...lol). But it's true that Lee played very well against us last year.

However, if you must know, let me google Lee's performance for you.

Turns out he is leading his team in PPG, total points, total 3-pointers, and shoots 45.2% FG and 32.6% 3's.

Not too shabby for a sophomore.

No doubt he's a great player but he's slightly overrated. His percentages are down this season without Fouch and Givens and he has absolutely zero floor game.

He's basically a better shooting Batten that plays more minutes. Lee has a negative assist to turnover ratio and has 11 steals on the season which is pathetic considering he plays huge minutes for Bruiser Flint.

I, personally, am looking forward to this, because, "Man, I love watching Nick Wright play basketball. "

Solid short little write-up on ODU commit Ramone Snowden by the pilot. Still trying to figure out why HE (out of our other two recruits) is the preferred walkon next year.

You are absolutely just looking for crap when you post total steals (which is at 1 per game which actually isn't that bad) and assist to turnover ratio for a shooting guard! He's not supposed to rack up assists, he's there to shoot and score, which he does better than anyone currently on odu or Drexel.

And you are still ignoring the bigger point which is that he's a 6"7 shooting guard with deep range and we have no one that can match up with him.

A better taller batten with more rebounding and better defense??? That suppose to be a criticism or something?

Give it a rest. The kids only a feaking sophomore and he's a borderline first team all caa player (although in this years caa that isn't saying very much). Regardless, Drexel will still drill us this year because we simply can't match up with them.

They beat us twice last year with baze and coop. Good luck getting painter to go for 15-20 against that front court. I'll believe it when I see it.

Oh and adopted, I really don't care whether you are excited or not for the game, I'm just excited for the possibility of us getting a new coach at the end of this season.

You will be too eventually, once you see that we CAN, in fact, land big recruits here with the right guy in charge. I believe wood will do a good job and do the right thing.

1-9 after ucf and 3 straight blowouts will be pretty tough to swallow for odu's more casual fans. You could see attendance drop drastically after the third straight blowout/semi-blowout at home to teams we use to be just as good as if not better than.

Hard to justify we are "building" towards anything at that point.

I was incorrect he has 3 steals and 11 assists on the season. So he's a 1 dimensional player who is having a worse season without Fouch and Givens. He's a nice talent but overrated

Lee is still good. It's hard to be good by yourself with no help. That kid may get CAA player of the year during his college career.
