Guess I am ready for us to be like a Samford team, who we beat not too long ago. Samford goes to Oregon State and gets the win. We play Manhattan and can’t score 60 points in one game? The transfer portal is annoying, do we win with two players that transferred out this year…more than likely? Hoping that will not be as big of an issue with opportunities to win championships and go to the dance. You may know this, but Samford hired Bucky McMillan a few years ago. He racked up a bunch of state titles at Vestavia High School in Birmingham. Always a questionable move to hire a high school guy, but he was so successful, it’ll be interesting to see if he can do it on the college level. I’d sure love to see us on ESPN pulling off one of those big upsets. Manhattan isn’t a great team. They were predicted to finish 7th in the MAAC, out of 11. For comparison, Iona is picked to win the conference. It’s easy to say, “we need scorers”. It’s certainly true. Just seems we have nobody to turn to when we need a basket in the clutch. Bucky McMillan won state championships at Mountain Brook High School, Not Vestavia Hills. I wish he came to UNA when we let Bobby go. Either him or Tubby Smith, who was fired from Memphis around the same time.

Iona just upset #10 Bama down at Disney. Pitino can obviously win anywhere. Iona is about half the size of UNA.

Bama only score 3 more points than the Lions. I watched Forrest play against Oakwood, he has some athletic ability with his length. I would like to see us at least look his way on the offensive end. We play strictly on the perimeter, sure the opponents love to defend and rebound against us. Hoping we can grow off some of these big games and be ready to compete in conference.
