Oof, AJ Green went 1-14 (0-7 from 3) in the Panther's loss to Nicholls tonight.
Meanwhile, Jorbo exclusively chucks 3's and makes 6 of 8 for the ToE. Opening day is full of funny business.
They just got waxed at home by 14 to Vermont as well. UNI has finished .500 or below 4 of the last 5 seasons and is off to an 0-2 start this year. They haven't made the NCAA's since the A&M meltdown 6 years ago. At some point you have to wonder if Jacobson is just done. I mean that cash strapped athletic department can't keep paying him a million dollars for this. He's getting paid the same amount as Otz for goodness sake.
Does AJ Green come in to play then? Or does he just go make money. Could be a good scoring replacement for Brockington assuming he goes to play professionally. Also, Austin Phyfe seems like he'd slot in well to the 5 spot for us. Again, just thinking out loud but if this is the end for Jacobson, perhaps some opportunities arise locally in the transfer market.
Great game between Brown and UNC on ACC network right now. 75-74 UNC with under 8 left. Brady Manek plays for UNC and looks like a viking.
Maybe he’s trying to get fired. Collect your money while you go coach or work the office for a different team. Double pay.
Lost in the football games, but Gonzaga up 20 over Texas at half. Rasir hit a half court buzzer beater to close the half
Enjoying watching the new Vanderbilt lose in two major sports in one night.
Texas is going to be a basketball school. I trust Coach Beard.
Transfer guard Rasir Bolton hits half-court bomb, gives Gonzaga vital lift in win over Texas
Rasir Bolton came to Gonzaga with an objective many of the program's most successful transfer guards can relate to: win on the big stage, even if it means sacrificing individual accolades for the opportunity to play deep into the month of March.

He completely forgot who he is. A&M absolutely broke him.
He's in love with 'playing fast' but has no access and no idea how to recruit kids that can do that. So now, we're playing this weird moderate tempo with a European offense that doesn't go anywhere or create anything for anybody while not playing defense.
Born played last night (coming off a broken hand in preseason practice) and it was noticeably better but they better figure it out quick because the next two are Arkansas and St Bonaventure.
As for the money, luckily it's 100% privately financed with money that wouldn't be available otherwise. He's signed through 2029 with fully guaranteed money so it's not like there's $8M laying around to buy him out. I don't trust David Harris to make a hire anyway so the hope just has to be that it gets better because our entire department is in shambles right now.
I thought I'd heard that his salary was basically paid with outside dollars, but the point is there is only so much money to go around and UNI is paying P5 dollars for the results of the last 5 years it's just not going to leave fans with a good taste in their mouths.
