Nah. He’ll get a two-year extension because EMU.

I don't want to be mean but whoever is coach should decide to bring in 5 to 6 new players next year. We need some wings in the 6'6 to 6'9 range and I think we should for go the tradition center. Yes injuries, lack of games and COVID made it difficult. Toledo had played almost twice as many games as we have but still.

Lots of Seniors on this team, although this year doesn’t count against eligibility. I would expect the roster to be flushed significantly, regardless of coach. I don’t think anyone is going to beg these guys to come back.

Not if they can't win. We are missing Toure.

This may sound ridiculous but I was not that disappointed in the performance.

Toledo shot OVER 50%, including beyond the three point line. Many of Jackson's threes were from 30 feet, those are hardly defendable and especially from a zone defense. Toledo has played a lot of games and quite frankly they are very good and match up well against us. Then our guys go in at halftime and our best three ball guy collapses, that certainly does not inspire any of his teammates. It was a BAD night.

This team has talent.

Lowder, McBride and Groce all have the ability to be special.
Montero and Morgan are very good ball players.
James and last night, Gibson have shown flashes as well.
Ballard can be a great contributor off the bench.

Murph can find talent for sure, he just can't coach it up. That Orlando Magic scouting job that Rob used to get his EMU contract would have perfectly fit his skill sets. Coaching EMU does not.

Would it surprise anyone if Calvin beats EMU? Not me.

Sad that no one started a game thread. But who gives a shite?
