This will all be forgotten when we take out our frustrations on La Tech tomorrow.

Definitely not a starter and the other reason I would sign a true big in 2015. Dont think we have the pt available for a guard or forward. I think Cokley's aau teammate is available at a prep school three star kid name Bunch (6-10 230). Im sure Georgia or Texas has some available bigs. Smh

WOW! What a difference a chad makes! Go from beating UNC Chapel Hill to losing to UNC Pembroke ? Charlotte guys seem to play well in bartow though. Pittman was Fraziers AAU teammate. Maybe Haase should recruit the area more. Grab a scorer or two! The battle of Atlantis should be interesting to say the least!

Thanks for stopping by, Chad.

Haase is a nice guy and all, and is doing his best, but it's clear to me he is not head coach material.

Anyone really not think Lee would have made the difference here? Not really that worried yet. Extremely young and early on. This game doesn't even count. Folks forget when UK and other top 25 teams lost exhibitions to nobody schools?

Exhibition game with roster full of young guys, and missing a future key part in haha. Defunately going to be a frustrating start of the season, but I have fait in this group.

We need more than a scorer, how about a complete bball player? I wish Chad the best as im a huge fan of his,one of the few on this board. Charlotte basketball, can you explain a little bit more? I'm all for signing more Memphis kids over Charlotte.

NC is basketball country Charlotte is a hotbed of talent! D1 rosters are full of players from the area. From Antwan Jamison to steph curry and ant morrow the area puts out pros! But from the looks of things recruiting isn't the only issue.

Must be discipline issues too since we had to dismiss a guy who hits women.

Yeah tough break! How many losses will the Blazers take this year ? 15 ? I say 20? What your guess ?

Names three guys and its a hot bed? I'll take the Memphis, Alabama, and Georgia route. Enlighten me some more about Charlotte bball. Jamison he's ok, Curry a shooter that great I guess, and Morrow lol.

No clue. But we'll have more wins than Chad does this season.

UAB looked terrible in the first half. Played much better in the second half and made a game of it. However, UAB gave up way too many easy layups the whole game. We weren't even guarding guys down low.

Robert Brown can take the game over at any time. Madison looked good.

The young guys just need to catch up with the speed of the game. Much like the ladies game the freshmen got caught looking at the ball rather than their man sometimes and fell for pump fakes over and over again - the result of both scenarios were easy baskets. Offensively, they were kinda loss when they got pressure and no wide open looks. There was no rhythm, no real flow to the game. The best play was when UAB had the returners on the floor. The game was much faster and fluid - for UAB.

I'm disappointed in what Chad did, and wish that incident never happened. If we had him on the team this year, I think we win the conference and make the tourney, and maybe even make a big time run. Hate that it happened but we must move on.

I hope our guys can learn and pick up the slack quickly. I hope to see a better team on the court Next Sat. Hope to see chad in the NBA soon as well

The only loss you need to worry about is what happens to Chad in the court room
