I will try to not jinx the ladies today. On a brighter note though, I did get to meet with Megan Vetter and her husband and parents at the game yesterday. Megan was a senior when Sarah was a freshman in '04-'05.
Megan's dad and I still agree, that was not a charge on FiFi Camara in the '05 Championship game. LOL

Hopefully this is the last time the team plays without Fisher and Tompkins. Regardless, the team needs more consistent contributions from the other if they want to meet pre-season expectations. Given the tougher upcoming schedule today is pretty much a must win game.

I hate to say this, but I think we are severely underestimating Mercer. They have played really tough teams. The one they beat has won all 3 games after that game. Georgia, Clemson, bowling green 3 of those opponents. Plus Marist coming off a game yesterday. I never agree a game is a must win this early. You are awesome oldfox, but how is a non conference game this early a must game? I might be very annoying with that, but I just don't get it. This would actually be a very impressive win imo, considering circumstances.

Not a good loss - this Mercer team is going to be similar to the e 6/7 teams in MAAC (IMO)

Out defense can’t seem to get stops when needed - we are a very very slow team

This would actually be a very impressive win imo, considering circumstances. Look at the upcoming schedule. @yale, St. John’s, Drexel and @ualbany. If it’s not a big deal being 2-7, 3-6 going into the St. Peter’s game then Mercer isn’t important. Also, listening to these two games Marist’s problems go way deeper than the absence of Fisher and Tompkins. Getting obliterated on the boards despite rotating 2-6’5” centers and Zaria. Indifferent defense. Inconsistent offense. |
