The Ohio U Kent St game was entertaining.

That is an old man comment, but I support it.

Bad team, selfish players, low BB IQ. We’d be more competitive building a roster with exclusively Michigan JUCO guys.

More like an early 80's funk band. I don't mind the look, just wish they played better.

Hm last in rebounding last in defense and last in assists for a second year in a row so far.

So you feel bad for the guy shooting 1-12 tonight?

I’m pretty sure Eastern/MAC is where he deserves to be.

Yes. Really bad, this has got to be a nightmare for him.

Would you prefer he was laughing and having a good time? Come on now, "fan!"

Thinking the exact same thing. Wonder if he gets the irony of calling himself "superfan."

Emoni is his own worst enemy. Tries to force things and play by himself. Whe. He learns how to play team ball he'll be so much better.

Give it a rest Ramy. It's not a good look for a teammate. Nor does it show maturity or leadership.

He can't do anything right in your eyes can he? I bet you were the picture of perfection at age 19, weren't you.

I love the use of that rephrase! Seriously though “fan” is kind of mean spirited, huh?

Not sure if you have noticed but his teammates are not very good.

I told all of you emoni Bates super fans. He's 18 and not all the special. I've seen this song and dance many times over the last 27 years. Its not him it's all of you over hyping this young man. I support the team not anyone player.

I'll drink (some coffee) to that!

Kent up next... Ouch.

Seriously, how is Stan going to fix this? This team obviously has serious deficiencies in the paint, struggles with shooting, cant rebound, gets lost on defense, etc. Next year they will be a little older but I doubt they'll be a much better. Bring in a few experienced big men that can play defense and rebound and it might help.

It's been so long since we've seen a good basketball team that I forgot what it looks like. 25 years since the last team that was relevant.

What exactly have you seen many times? I have been a fan way longer than you, since I was 10, so this whole "I've been to more games than anyone else" is just a bunch of self congratulatory crap. You have seen a lot of losses and you have argued with refs and generally made a spectacle of yourself, woohoo!

Dear Friends,
Emoni was terrible tonight, as was the rest of the team overall. Farrakhan had a decent night, but if I was the coach for the last ten minutes of the game, I would have emptied the bench. What did we have to lose? The game! WE were blown out by forty points!
As I have said before, I know little about the ways of basketball, but if Emoni's performance tonight was a showing to the pros, I think he has a lot to work on.

Down by 40 and Ballard gets 3 minutes playing time. He's proven his effort and deserves better.

"I know little about the ways of basketball." Ken, I know it was not your intent, but that statement made me laugh out loud! We all need a little levity after another dismal performance.
