Also is the P5 bag more worth it for a chance at the NBA? Hmmmm.

Also I can tell JMU lives rent free in some of y’all’s heads. It’s disgusting.

Great point - the obvious obstacle is the NIL piece which has changed the landscape of college athletics. There are plenty of people that do things contrary to popular opinion because they are committed to principle and foundation .. let’s hope he is one of those and the team builds around him.. and yes I know the obvious counter reply “need a new coach though”

U Mass. Seem to have good size and a old Gamecocks ball coach. Hope they are slow, but am guessing they will be a real challenge.

It's not a Marcus Camby level UMass. At least we force an A10 team to play us.

Our game recap is up. Was great to see the guys smiling and laughing towards the end of the game last night. They needed that.

We can't have nice things. Good win, one the team needed, and we immediately jump to Allette leaving.

Sell him on leading the bigtime recruits coming in next year.

They don't have JJ as a head coach!

This is the way to go right here!

Good win in blowout fashion. Was nice to see Williams, Allette, Jenkins, and Blakeney get the majority of the minutes. We probably need to make that happen every game. Those guys need to stay out of foul trouble. It is hard to guard 4 guys that can shoot it and drive it.

If Pounds develops over the season I could see him taking some of Blakeney's minutes. He's got the size and bulk we need.

They don't play the same position.
