If you thought our schedule was tough, take a look at theirs: they’ve already had games at Auburn, Miami (FL), and Dayton, with several more against P4 teams coming up. 1-3 record to date with a blowout of a non-D1 sprinkled in.

Currently, our schedule to date's 37th hardest in the country. Bethune's is 60th.

They're good.

And balanced.

Their best player, Morris, came from Texas. Currently going for 16/6/4 a night.

Our good friend Jakobi Heady, scored 35 on us last season w/ CMU, is averaging 15/4/2. His brother, also from CMU, is averaging 12.

Some big guards we're never good with.

I didn't like our chances vs Illinois St and we still got the win.

Hate to be a downer but I don't like this matchup. A win would be a shocker.

Most people hate when I say this, but these are the kinds of games I wish they'd experiment with the line-up.

Treat all these as exhibitions, roll the dice and lets see...

6'2" - Jack
6'6" - JJ
6'8" - Hadaway (6'9" Kuany)
6'7" - Simmons (Hadaway stays)
6'10" - Evans

10 minute line change:

6'2" - Jack
6'3" - Dior
6'8" - Hadaway
6'8" - Breath
6'7" - Simmons (6'9" Kuany)

Next Line Change:

6'0" - Sheldon
6'5" - Burris
6'6" - JJ
6'7" - Simmons
6'10" - Evans

Mix in Elliott as he returns.

We have all the pieces to have a big, athletic line and seem resistant to see what it can do. Obviously, I'm not in practice, but we have some depth and some guys who can shift around. Doesn't feel like we're using our optimal rotations.

Evans starting and Sheldon as third string?

I really don't think Boals is going to do that.

Me either, but that would be a nice thing to experiment with under the guise of figuring out what works.

People are gonna start thinking I'm Evans dad or something, but he just needs to be in the damn game. Especially games that are pretty inconsequential. If he started getting a steady 20 minutes a game, I think we'd really start liking how the other chips fall into place.

No disrespect to Bethune or their conference, but shocked to win at home against a SWAC team? Dude....

I'd love to see Simmons break out for an 18/11 type of game. This is the first time since Wright State he won't be going up against anyone with real center size.

They took Auburn into overtime. Trailed by one at halftime. Had the lead with 3 minutes left in regulation. Auburn played Pettiford for 40 minutes and Hall for 37.

Team rankings . com gives us close to a 70% chance to win. It won't be that easy.

Looks like we need a Fake Jeff McKinney opponent analysis and how we have no chance to win?
