Yes, I had to listen to it a couple times to be sure that I heard “my” in there.

RE: Grambling State
Was it just me or did AK seem like he was more frustrated than usual on the sideline today? He was really laying into the team today.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was. With the expectations on this team, a game against a SWAC opponent shouldn't be this close. Hopefully they got their "blahs" out in this game and will be in prime form for WVU.

Especially the second half. A 49-25 lead at halftime was fine, but things didn’t go very well after that.

RE: Grambling State
He seemed pretty pissed off in the post game presser. I would be too. Our team is better than that. We've yet to put a complete game together.

That’s why you don’t leave in your rotation guys with 20-30 point leads. You don’t get a boost from style points when we play somebody with such a bad rating.
I agree. There's no reason to risk an injury to a key player when you're up 20 with less than 10 minutes left against a SWAC team. I know we weren't playing well in the 2nd half and he was probably trying to get guys back in a rhythm but still.
Hopefully LeBlanc can give it a go on Saturday.

In case anyone was wondering, our NET fell 6 spots to #34 after the win

Not having LeBlanc against a team like WVU would be a big loss. If Jemison or Buffen got into foul trouble we'd be at a major disadvantage. Rongie still isn't ready for real minutes. AD is roster filler.

Didn't help that two previous opponents took bad losses. ETSU lost at home to NC A&T and UNC Asheville lost at UT Martin. ETSU was getting close to top 100 before the loss.

Yep. Plus his length at the top of the 1-3-1 is problematic for other teams.

It was Bill Heaton. He is a long-time fan, and does the PA for baseball, softball and women's basketball, I think.
