We are very small by P4 standards. I hope we can shoot the three at a high rate.

Though optimistic we will be better than projected, height is an advantage in this sport.

They really went and did that. Audi is likely going to be able to score at will on us.

Otherwise, it doesn't really matter because the high-end expectation for this team is a play-in game.

Audi will be gassed as CBF will run n gun and wear her out! Bill has to as we have no defense!

Lawsuit already filed to stop it.

To be clear, the lawsuit is only about this past year's seniors being excluded from the new eligibility rule.

Not sure why they think they should be included retroactively after their eligibility expired this spring. Screw them, graduate and get on with their lives with the lesson that not everything in life revolves around them.

Lack of height will really hurt on defense.

Did their eligibility expire in the spring, or does it expire June 30th when the academic calendar turns over?
