Is Oliver in foul trouble? Haven't seen him in a while.

Glad to see Marshall has invested in their broadcasting. Much better cameras than last year, and better than the Western game.

Great play design out of the Timeout... Geeze this team is hard to watch.

Can anyone tell me what Alfis has done to earn all this playing time? Oliver has struggled some lately but he can’t work that out sitting on the bench

Given that we suck, I have to say every CUSA team we've played so far looks terrible as well. What has happened to MTSU, WKU and Marshall? we're all terrible. TRhen I watch a little of the Florida and Texas teams and there is virtually no one at the games. Man does this conference blow.

Effort to me hasn’t been the problem. We just aren’t any good.

I still think we have a ton of potential. We will be a tough team to beat if X plays to his potential and AJ continues to improve. Jason and Malik are playing at a high level.

Jones won’t let u play in the first half w two fouls

Pretty even game so far all around. They make just as many mistakes as we do. This is winnable, let's finish this.

I certainly agree BN. When I saw us play at Charlotte, they weren’t very good. Maybe mediocre at best. Yet, they are undefeated and in first place. The whole conference, including us, is just terrible.

I’ve been preaching potential as well. But it’s not an athleticism contest unfortunately. The refs throw the ball up and then we have to play basketball. That’s where the trouble lies.

Not entirely true. He kept Kalu in with 2 last game and he picked up his third before thr break.

I was wondering the same thing. He has three turnovers on traveling violations. So frustrating. He needs to warm the bench.

Oops. Just saw Charlotte lost big today. Not undefeated anymore....

Charlotte lost to WKU earlier today.

But something unexplainable is going on with X. We are a different team when he is playing well. I can’t believe he will continue to play well below his capability all season.

C’mon boys, make a statement in the second half. Bury these pretenders ... it’s time.

One of the announcers looks like he is sixteen, but he’s doing a great job imo.

The color guy is soooo much a homer it’s hard to listen to this ESPN+ broadcast ... ?

Malik is starting to flash next level talent.

Noticed him too. Good job by a youngster. Could go places.
