Game 5: GMU (4-0) vs Jacksonville (2-2) on Tuesday, November 18, at 7:00 PM.

I agree wholeheartedly! This team is different. Under any of the previous 3 administrations, maybe anyone since Larrañaga, we lose at least 2 or maybe even 3 of those games. We couldn't hit a 3 against UNH, no problem, lock-down defense at your service. Winthrop wanted to go old-school and play a little Paul-ball, again no problem, saddle up and let's run!

CTS has got this team ready no matter the opponent or what happens in-game. For years, we've let an inferior opponent hang around, and we collapse in the end. No more! Now, we toy with an opponent (not really a good strategy, btw) in the first half, then blow their doors off in the second. This team is a breath of fresh air from previous regimes.

Yes. I have grown so tired/disgusted of losing so many of these OOC "supposed to win" games that kills our tourney hopes before conference play even begins.

A 5-0 start without two of our top six players is encouraging, even against mostly suspect competition. Smart scheduling by Tony to give a new group some runway and build confidence while they get used to playing together.

We’ll know more about the team starting next week. It will be interesting to see what they do against better opponents, but also as they hopefully get healthy heading into A-10 play.

I’m cautiously optimistic.

And we beat the best opponent we've played so far without three of them.

I'm a believer in this group, they may have the juice.

Woody Newton was at the Jacksonville game yesterday per his Instagram story

He was, in fact, not at that game. I just happened to send him a video of Stas on an IG story of mine and he used it on his own
