This shows me that Manhattan practically tying us for the 2nd half wasnt some fluke or taking the pedal of the gas.

No matter if we win by 30, this is concerning. JmI is 150 on Bart Torvik (kenpom is pay for now?!).. Manhattan is much worse.. you cant let these teams hang around or take leads 8 minutes in..

Hope its just growing pains.

We didn't go on this run until I preemptively declared a loss.

Our lead guard got in foul trouble early. Our best shooter is cold.

In no universe should we be fighting for a win over JMU

James Madison is a dark horse final 4 pick.

Story of the game right there: Clunk a 3 and then give up a layup.

Yep

Tuesday should be a hoot.

At least he made a defensive play and a 3. We needed that badly. Show some pride, he’s popping the jersey. I like it.

I thought he just **** his pants.

Are you pulling his leg or do you actually mean this?

bbnkat02 · 2026-11-06T19:27:46-0600

what was the line on this game?

LineSkiCat14 · 2026-11-06T19:27:58-0600

I do think JMI playing a very good Miami team, and losing, likely dinged their metrics, so I expect them to climb higher than 150.. but still.

Cliffhanger82 · 2026-11-06T19:28:03-0600

Stupid *** foul

Just joking.

katwest · 2026-11-06T19:28:21-0600

We had 3 guys there and he got his own rebound, unacceptable.

It isn’t the mid 90s anymore. It’s not the early 2010s either.

Y’all are going to have to get that through your thick blue skulls or life is going to be tough.

That wasn’t a foul on Wilkins the dude flopped like a damn fairy

58 (3pt) attempts combined both teams!

McBride acting like he just sealed a Game 7 lol.

He was JMU second-leading scorer at 15.3 last year. He's pumped !!

Yeah but they were pretty damn good last year. I imagine some of that is rolling over and they will be picked to finish top in their conference. Just trying to find a little optimism that this opponent maybe isnt terrible.. bleh lol

Bright side...one day closer to Pope being thrown out on his A$$

BluWildcatz · 2026-11-06T19:30:51-0600

I like how the commentator is repeating basic defensive basketball fundamentals to our team over and over again.

*Fox2Monk* · 2026-11-06T19:30:53-0600

Good to see Kam back.

The_Answer1313_rivals · 2026-11-06T19:31:00-0600

This is probably our best team since 2015.

Duke/Uconn is still rolling in the NIL era. What’s our excuse?

Heard the same thing during BCG.

Doesn't make it any less true. BCG had some good players, just couldn't do **** with them bc there was no depth around them. We have some solid players, just kind of a Hodge podge of a roster. Again. I want Pope gone, yesterday. But, I'm gonna at least try to embrace the kids who play their ***'s of for us.

Difference between saying he’s solid vs “one of the best guards in the country”, wouldn’t expect you to understand that.

We all know no one said that. Stop lying. Card fan.
