Thompson’s postgame/win quote: “the Manley Field House is officially closed” still ticks him off to this day. Awesome rivalry.

I wonder if TP would have stayed knowing we are going the Syracuse?

Why would playing for a team that is gonna get beaten by 25-30 points an incentive to stay?

Were Caver and BJ arrested and ineligible next season or something?

It will be a good mental test. Even the most elite college teams get baffled by their zone

If we don’t get at least 2 transfer bigs it won’t matter and we’ll get pasted.

Maybe, Maybe not. We've done it before.

In any case, I'd rather lose out on an at-large bid on the court in December than lose it on paper in June.

I really would love to know why they won't play us. The obvious answer isn't what it is. They aren't scared so there must be some back story there.

I don't know. I still think it might be the obvious answer. Imagine you have a game that brings back an old coach, a legendary player, and a former player who transferred out of your program. There is a a good bit of hype around the game because of the homecoming element, and then BJ, the guy you let go, scores 30 against you and you lose. That is not a good look. Sure, nobody thinks that will happen, but there is always the chance.

Style of play would be my guess.

According to Ed, at one point this season, they were ready to schedule us. I would wager that changed after they got blown out by UMBC and became the first 1 to lose to a 16.

I assume that embarrassing loss changed their priorities, forcing them to realize there are different styles they need to better prepare the team for.

At least that's what would make sense to me.

Also a consideration, maybe Marshall is asking for a much lower guarantee then we are.

Unless we land a good inside player or two, Marshall should actually be better than us, so I simply don't understand this decision at all. Same conference. I'd wager we have a higher basketball reputation, so a loss to us (if it were to happen) would potentially look better to the average person . In state rival. Former coach. Former player. Its truly baffling. I guess the fact that we beat them the last time we played sticks in their mind.

This is assuming Elmore comes back. Without him (and Penava), Im not sure.
