We’re now at that point where the basketball plays next before football. #117 in Kenpom, 1st in the SunBelt and 1 spot ahead of MAC leader Ohio.
Steele made comments about their size in the field of 68 call. They do have some height/weight, but not much depth there. Only two players on this team saw significant playing time for App State last season. Huntley and Tate seem to be the top returners. Lots of transfers and unknowns though.
Cure Bowl Revenge Game
App State was also picked 6th in the Sun Belt, so even though Kenpom is high on them, other teams aren’t so sure. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kenpom struggle more early in the season with the extent of the transfer portal.
Two new video interviews on MuRedHawks.com today. One with Coach Holmes and one with Mekhi Cooper.
Excellent videos for both teams. Ps, that 529 ad that runs before them is terrible. Makes no sense.
That 529 runs before every single video Miami athletics puts out! They are still waiting for grandparent assist!
It mixes metaphors in the script. Talking about moving the ball from the 30 to the 20 then she yells “goal!” It’s like they cut two different commercials together or they had some dumb joke about her not getting sports that didn’t work out so the edited something else.
After sitting through that whole game, breaking a phone, and ruining a pair of shoes, I’ll take a bball win as consolation.
Might be a bit late for most, but if you can make it to the game and spend a night or two in Boone, they could really use your business! And take some extra food or toiletries to donate. Not everything is open, but enough to enjoy the charm of the town. The blue ridge parkway is also back open for a bit going from around blowing rock and north beyond Boone.
Google maps is pretty well updated with road closures now.
Rhodes Motor Lodge is a great place to stay and about a mile from the arena.
I would be there, but last minute work travel calls.
I noticed that, too! Clueless script writers. And she’s really annoying!
Who’s the “one guy” who seems to ask every question at the sports pressers? I have visions of him asking a question in the empty room, then racing to another seat and raising his hand to ask another one. Maybe putting on a hat for one question.
