How do we fit another player into the rotation? I suppose its a good problem to have, but it is a little scary with the chemistry and flow that we currently have.

He seems like he's long, fast and has a good handle. We could've used him tonight against the press I think. He'll be useful against teams that are really tall (COUGH-UTEP-COUGH), so that we can have 3 tall guys on the court without sacrificing quickness/shooting ability.

I knew the state of Louisiana wasn't exactly a congregation of Mensa members, but even by Caazone standards, that site is filled with mouth breathing imbeciles who clearly have never watched college hoops outside of the state of Louisiana.

It's pretty bad haha.

Certainly smells like tiger droppings. I know we need these guys to win to help our RPI, but da#n, these a$$hats don't make it easy to pull for them under any circumstances.

It's like a nasty, dirty Walmart perfected as a message board. Pretty impressive how many posts they get though.

Looks like one of our own over there trying to fight the good fight. Wonder who that might be?

I had a blast reading through their meltdown. My favorite quote from their loss "how many days until baseball season?"

Yes. Who is Schnergen?

Freeman is on another level. This guy is a mismatch for just about any guard in the country.

I like Biberaj a lot. He's made some really excellent entry passes from outside that indicate he can see the floor and knows what's going on. He adds bulk and handles the ball relatively well for a big guy. I am pleasantly surprised how well he's working out. He's a nice addition to the team.

anyone have a video of Ross's first half dunk? I missed it.

Yes this ODU team is capable of beating VCU in Norfolk. We just need to make our free throws. vcu will foul us a plenty.

We have the ingredients necessary to beat VCU, especially in Norfolk. We have experienced point guards, big guys who can handle the ball, and very good defenders from 3 point range. Not to mention that we can fill it up pretty good ourselves. (Would love to have a Frank Hassell type down low, but what we have will suffice.)

We just need to play the game at our pace, take care of the ball, and defend the double screen on the baseline for the corner 3 (VCU's bread and butter in the half court).

But first things first. Our next two games aren't going to be a walk in the park, and VCU plays #12 Villanova Monday night. Would love to see 2 undefeated teams in Norfolk next weekend. Should be buzzing...

Some clarification is in order here. I won't lose any sleep if Villanova beats the crap out of VCU either.

And we need to do one more thing against vcu, hit our free throws cause you know vcu is gonna foul us and challenge us to make them on the free throw line.
