Soft as hell from Frank. Stay off social I’d you can’t handle live reactions of fans watching the game
This right here. People are going to complain and responding just gives them more fuel. Then challenging them to actual say it to his face is just stupid because you only need one idiot to take him up on that and things escalate.

I watched the final play several times. Dominguez was on the floor under the hoop. Did anyone notice when he came in? Of course he wasn't boxing out.

with about 17 seconds left, TJ missed FTs. Cross knocked the ball out and Coach inserted Dyondre. I think Coach was trying to match opponent's quicker bigs. Dyondre played center for a bit of the game, as Kante did 25 minutes and Wildens only 10. I think Dyondre had a good game: made his free throws and rebounded well with no turnovers. For the last play (Noah's wow), the announcer mentioned there was no time to feed a post play, so makes sense to use your quickest 5 man and one more likely to hit from outside.

Wondering what the team would be with Woodley; would be nice to have for situations like this week-end with 3 games in 4 days and Wildens in foul trouble. Dyondre might be an "emergency" 5 and seems strong enough to handle it. Not sure he can match the bigger guys that Charlotte has.

Good analysis.

Yeah, losing Woodley is going to hurt a little when we have foul trouble.

DD has improved so much. Hopefully it continues. Also, Gapare could figure in the mix eventually.

We have played teams with some pretty solid bigs. I wish we had a third to hold down the fort.

I think Wildens worked more on his muscles than his cardio. He seemed gassed a bit during Colorado game. I think he might not be in great shape yet but will get less winded as the season progresses. He will be a big factor eventually. It just hasn't happened yet.

This team has an identity, and it's the first time in a long time I can say that. They are tough and no nonsense, just like their coach.

We've played 4 games and haven't allowed 70 points yet. Yes, we have an identity.

Noah was #3 on ESPN's Top 10 for yesterday. Thought he might be #1, but the two ahead were quite good, including a game winner from the back court.

After our performances away from home these past two games and Noah's amazing game winner making it on ESPN, I would imagine our next home game should see an enthusiastic crowd at the Bill.

Murray State is taking it to Tulsa right now. Up 20 at the under 4 TO. Tulsa is playing without Tim Dalger who threw the punch at the end of the Charlotte game, but Murray looks pissed off. Would be nice to see the Umass L propel them to big things this year.

Probably after a bad loss. I'll have to check the GMU game where we gave away the lead 3 times.
