Christmas break crowd going to be light. Might be the smallest crowd for a MBB game I’ve been to. At tip time, there are four students in the student section.

Has Ryan Donohoo been on the roster all year and I’m just noticing, or is he a new add?

7-15 MSVU is kicking our ass.

More people have filled in. Six more students showed up. Our team showed up a little as well. Up three, 27-24

I think our student section had 0 students in it during the Grambling game until a few minutes after tip. 4 or 5 students eventually filed in but that was it. I wish we could blame it all on Christmas break, but think about how many local students we have. No excuse.

I noticed him too. I don’t think he has dressed before tonight. Or at least I haven’t noticed.

UAB 40 - MSVS 28, halftime

Thanks to a nice 70% 3 points shooting for the half, we lead 40-28.

if we blow them out, does it help our NET more than if we just won by single digits

There are a lot of other things that kids can do than watch us blow out a team that doesn't belong on the same court as us. These crap games have to stop.
From OP,

Hell, I didn't want to be there either
Left at the half. BWW's is more entertaining than watching us struggle against a winless team. Merry Christmas y'all!

Trey Jemison got caught out on a 5-9 dude on the perimeter who was just sort of dancing in place trying to shake him. Trey shouted “Just shoot it” and the guy did, hitting a 3 in his face. He then got up in Trey’s grill running up the court talking trash (looked like a chihuahua yapping at a great dane)

Trey pushed him off with his forearm, and since the dude is a midget, the forearm hit him in the face.

Tech on the midget for taunting. Flagrant foul on Jemison for midget tossing.

They have midget tossing and wrestling on Sand Mountain. Not even joking.

This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in here in five years.

100-58, final

Against the worst team in the country, Quan still 3-10 to score 8 points. He continues to put up abysmal offensive numbers. We are letting him shoot too much. He had 4 turnovers, as well.

Locure didn't play and wasn't even listed on the box score. Is he leaving the team or something? What's going on?

I usually enjoy an occasional blowout against an inferior team, but these games are yawners, and totally unproductive, except to get the walk-on a few minutes. We have played a D-II exhibition, two non-scholarship D-III teams that aren’t even any good at their level, and three SWAC
teams that are currently in the bottom 27 of the 358 D-I teams in the Net ratings. We would probably get more out of a shirts and skins scrimmage.
