Jax I agree with most of what you say there. I'd point out though that the reason Reynolds has been inside lately is b/c of his shooting slump. I give him credit though for recognizing his situation and going and doing something he's really not comfortable with but it's allowed him to still score points at the end of the night.

Hopefully we draw them in the AAC tourney and we can get some measure of revenge. There, I've vented. I feel better now!

Tulsa reminds me of why i despised Marshal.

Question: I got in late on the game (with over 8 minutes left).


We lost all our bigs and put in Galic. Was Koka on the trip? I realize he has a way to go, but he did have some game experience.

I don't know if he traveled with the team, but Koka didn't play at all. Bul Ajang started. Blake Paul fouled out in 7 minutes of PT. He contributed 1 rebound and 1 assist and did not score.

I hope everyone is healthy for the AAC tournament and that we win our first game to play Tulsa in the second round.

It got comical at one point. Hands straight up in the air , standing stationary, lay up and 1. Paul's line says it all. We need help down there and we didn't get it with this current class. Which is perplexing because rebounding and toughness are the things MD has lamented. Reynolds was fouled, yes. But that's not a call you get on the road at the buzzer on any night. (Unless it was a visitor at devlin) . Cam needed to go up strong and finish that. Especially after choking at the line. Yet another in an endless line of bitter pills .

c'mon ya know Tulsa is an exclusive Private school, located in an affluent part of Oklahoma, not too far from ORU and Southern Hills CC..nothing like Marshall...I have to admit, 40 free throws by one team seems very one sided to me..I laugh when watching the game and the number of fouls are shown on the screen and it reads 10+...they actually need to show the real number, but the game officials hate that...when I ran the scoreboard at Tulane, they always came and told me prior to tip off, once it reached 10 to stop adding to the number

I believe Koka has a meniscus injury and they are redshirting him.

Thanks - I didn't recall seeing him on the bench.

Only one glitch, even the basketball gods can’t overcome the officials. Reynolds should have been at the foul line needing only 1 of 2 for the win.
I kinda feel bad for Reynolds as he is more of a perimeter player who is asked to play with the bigs and he just isn’t comfortable with the physicality under the basket at either end.
One more point the best box out I’ve seen all year came from the walk on in overtime. With all of the easy baskets given up by this team on drives to the basket and offensive rebounds, not so sure that kid shouldn’t have been tried a little more this year. Likewise Slater has some shooting skills and might have helped against all the zones we’ve seen this year had he been used some more.
The" walk on" of whom your write Jaxwave is who exactly? Conroy? Why was Conroy given the last desperation shot? Is Riley that good in practice with last second shooting?

Conroy is a good shooter in practice but he’d have a hard time creating his own shot in the game. I think Cornish was the target but he was double teamed.

Funny thing is the announcers knew Conroy was getting the last shot. I think the former baseball player is the walk on, but I could be wrong.

I don’t remember name (maybe Green?) but it was a white big man. I think no 32.

It was Galic on the box out.

To me the question on the last inbounds play was having Daniels passing it in. We only had three scholarship players in at that point. One of the WO's should have thrown it in.

Thanks. Yes, Galic it was.
