We only have 3 conference games where the offense was under 1 ppp.

UAB (won .95)
Charlotte (lost .76)
WKY (.97)

We're obviously really good then, huh? Isn't that what the stats show?

Edit: Yes. Ted just confirmed.

Highly doubt rice beats Charlotte

Certainly possible with Charlotte in the second game of the Texaa road trip.

I think Rice has a better shot at Charlotte than we do at UNT, but we'll see.

We're gonna be around a 9 point dog. Charlotte and Rice will be fairly close to pick em.

Last I checked we were 8 point dog and Rice was 1 point fav

While many of us who reminisce about the good old days of throwing the ball into a back to the basket center still think of the game that way, do you know how many 6'9" players in CUSA play more than 50% of their team's minutes? 6. That's it. There aren't many centers in this league, and to Giles' point, there aren't many true centers in the college game anymore.

Our issue this year has not been a lack of a center. Our issue is our shooting.

This is absolutely false. Chris Cooper was FAR better than Aaron carver, it isn’t even close. He played in a much tougher league against tougher competition too. From odu’s webstite:

<2011-12: Second Team All-CAA selection...Career high 22 rebounds vs. JMU...Career high 21 points at Richmond... 17 points vs. No. 2 Kentucky...16 rebounds at JMU...12 rebounds vs. Kentucky...Named CAA Player of the Week on Nov. 21...17 double-doubles and 21 games with 10 or more rebounds ...Currently tied for fifth all-time for single season double-double bests at ODU...Second team NABC All-District 10...ranked 20th nationally in rebounding and 13th in double-doubles...

But yeah, Aaron carver and him are the same lol.
