Oh, I forgot to mention, we're also going full motion - we have the passers to pull it off, and don't have the guys who look to create their own shots.
Opening loss to Texas A&M is surprisingly only by 9, but
Abel Perrott is day to day. But we manage to beat CSU-Bakersfield 66-63 two nights later,
Ryan Farley leading the way with 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals.
David Gravitt has been a shooting god and here puts up 15 points on 2 steals - he had 17 points and 2 steals in the season opener, both shooting 50% or better.
Al Delk brings in 11 boards, 4 assists, and 2 blocks, doing what he's capable of.
Recruiting continues to be an unmitigated disaster. Onwards to December.
David Gravitt's good shooting disappears, and we go on a long losing streak, made all the more vexing by
Ryan Farley picking up a day to day injury. But after 4 straight defeats, we stun Louisiana-Monroe on the road 58-47,
Ryan Farley fighting through injury for 17 points, 6 rebounds, a steal, and a block.
Embarrassing loss to Texas Southern next game kills our RPI, and we narrowly beat fellow suckass team NJIT 58-57,
Abel Perrott winning Player of the Game by earning all 15 of his points at the FT line. Hat tip to
David Gravitt for 10 points and 4 steals too, I suppose as we overcame a 35.5% to 53.8% FG differential, or
almost 20% disadvantage. South Carolina waxes us as expected, and
John Hallett is day to day now, too.
Three guys we thought sure we could land all spurn us, and it's just like fuuuuuuuuuck. That tough schedule we put up for ourselves? Guess what it did to our RPI:

...Yeah. To be honest, I have no fucking clue how to find good shooters, apparently. Everyone I go and get stinks.
Our top shooter this year is at 42.9% of guys playing considerable minutes

At least the entire conference is shit? Fuck
Nicholls State, though. The guy they stole from me is their second leading scorer and rebounder, and he's shooting 60% from the floor.
