MSU Projected Starters: G 6’5 195 Jordan Lathon (16.4 PPG) G 6’3 185 Drew Thelwell (9.5 PPG) G 6’5 200 Kalil Thomas (11.5 PPG) G 6’7 230 Riley Minx (18.5 PPG) F 7’0 240 Dioente Miles (5.9 PPG) Short note, this is guys are very good at multiple positions and all sectors of the game. Pretty decent 3PT shooting team overall, especially their starting guards in Lathon and Thomas having identical numbers. Their 6’7 guard Riley Minx is a force to deal with on the court, but isn’t a good 3PT threat (watch him go 5/10 from the 3 this afternoon). Thelwell is a very good passer for MSU averaging anyways from 6 to 8 assists per game. Their forward is just there around the basket due to his size. They pretty much go full scholarship deep in their games. Everyone at least plays above 10 minutes for the bench. However, besides G 6’7 205 Eddie Ricks III(7.4 PPG), there are not many scoring options off the bench. So the Starters usually average above 30+ MPG, but are not foul prone. Mentally preparing for a long and frustrating couple of hours in this game. This one could get out of hand, but that is why you play the game. |

Hard to win in this sport when you don’t have any talent. I don’t fault the kids at all because most of them play their ass off.
This coaching staff has a lot of questions that need to be addressed and addressed quickly. There is NO excuse for this program, it’s history and the top notch facilities to be this damn bad!

Causwell will go down as the most awkward big man to ever play at USI. If he had real coaching he would be told to NEVER dribble the ball.

Morehead coach is yelling at them like they are down 10 not up 8. He’s a hell of a coach. Would love to have someone like him. This staff we have here is a joke. It doesn’t have to be this way. Just need real leadership and we can quickly get to the top of this league. But it will not happen with this staff. When you hire someone without a doing a real search this is the mess you get. |

Is Stan’s objective to make sure Powell leaves? I’m just trying to figure out how he’s not in the game vs Hittle?

AJ just got dry humped, they call a foul on AJ, then considering a flagrant. Stan should go full Bobby Knight here on this BS
And they call a flagrant!

Man these officials hate AJ. I give him credit for not losing his s*** over some of these calls. The charge call should have NEVER been called.

We are now next to last to ex bottom feeder GLVC member Lindenwood. Meanwhile D3 to D1 transition St Thomas is competing for a league title.
How much longer are you willing to give this staff? I would move on at year end because we can’t afford to get worse.

But middle aged home town heroes rarely work out. We are at the very bottom of a very bad league. It’s time for a change or s*** is going to get really bad. |

I would move on at year end because we can’t afford to get worse. Do you see the roster we have? Yes, the coaching staff assembles the roster but the transition to D1 severely hampers your ability to bring in legitimate talent. What if you had your way, they cleaned out the entire staff, we hire  ?? and then lose more games. Then what? This season is a write off. Just enjoy the entertainment, support our guys and look forward to next year. Thr roster will be 100% different in this new landscape. It kills me to read this board and everyone is always so negative. Did you expect to win the conference this year? We're not an immediate D1 juggernaut. These types of seasons separate real fans to fair weather imo. Stan has work to do but always calling for people to be fired is so exhausting. |

Can you really say he’s been good since he’s been here? Men’s basketball is the sole reason you go D1. We have the single best facilities in the OVC. Bruce Pearl walked into this arena for the first time and said holy s***! Using a transition as an excuse for ineptitude isn’t the answer. |
