We really shot the ball well. Every time Western made a little run we answered, usually with a timely 3.
We beat a bad team. If we win the next two in a row Iāll be open to having a discussion about our future. Right now at 7-5 against a schedule softer than a koosh ball, Iāll refrain.

Why was Madison Bailey there? Are you sure? But, why?
Weāve played three teams in the top 50 of the NET - #34 Wake, #44 Davidson, and #48 Monmouth - and five in the top 100 - #83 Toledo and #89 Arkansas - so not all Nerf ball.

I have three words to respond to that. Western Carolina University.
Yes and we almost put 100 on them. Whatās your point? Are you suggesting we shouldāve scored 150ā¦200? Nothing satisfies people that only see negatives in a good win smh lol

Prob with her gf, former Charlotte player, Mariah Linney
This board needs to be angry. It is the way
My Grandma always said, āif you look for the bad all the time, you will find it and if you look for the good all the time you will find it. Now which one is the better pursuit?ā
A lot of folks on here only look for the bad
My View given I actually went to the game:
Handily beat an inferior team
Shot the ball really well due to solid ball movement
19 assists
Musa and Folkes got integrated more and played well
Half time adjustments spot on
Our āsmall ballā in second half hard to guard
Braswell and Butler keep getting better and more confident every game
Young had a quiet but effective 20
Time to sit back, root this team on, see a lot of the good that is happening and letās see where this team ends up.
Go Niners!!!

Dates a girl that used to play for our womens basketball team
Ok. I saw she is from NC , etc. Thanks.
150 in the new NET rankings. Can we make it to the Top 100 by the end of the year?

IMHO, The things that I have observed and feel:
- In the last two games coach has : (a) Let the team run rather than running down the play clock, (b) Utilized his players such that they are showing the ability and strength, and (c) Made adjustments after halftime.
- Coach still does not know: (a) When to take a timeout and (b) Crash the boards and follow up offensive shots.
Overall there has been an improvement and hopefully can carry over into conference play. - Coach APPEARS to be changing his approach to games based on last couple games (hopefully). Donāt know what happened in the locker room at half time of the Wake game and seems to have carried over into the WCU game but I like it.
- I am still anti Sanchez but he has given me some hope of what this team is capable of doing. Has he turned things, hopefully so, as I really would love to see him have success here

Guess we will see when Sanchezās crew has to play some decent teams in conference. Iām still quite worried and think he is clueless as to how they are having the success they are. It certainly isnāt because of our stellar, #301 ranked defense, even though thatās still mostly all Sanchez talks about.
Said Sanchez: āI was hired to bring what Virginia had. ā¦Iād be doing a disservice if I didnāt provide that. If they wanted something else, they would have gone to a different school.ā
Thatās from when Sanchez was hired. Heās absolutely failed on that front. I continue to worry that we are going to do just well enough with a roster full of one-year players to keep him and that we fall flat on our face next year. Winning these games is because of players making things happen, absolutely NOT because we are successfully executing our coaches game philosophy. We have won the last few games in spite of our coaching philosophy, not because of it. I donāt know how anyone can look at that and not be scared.
Iām fine giving up 80 pts if we score 90 pts. Those top 4 players were all ON yesterday. We need 3 of the 4 to be ON to beat better teams.
And Continue to get Braswell open looks.

Canāt say we will keep all of these players but we have a good core coming back. Jahmir, Aly, Rob, Musa, Brice, Jackson, Isaiah and Jared.
I will be surprised if they all stay, but there is potential for a quality team next year with who we have returning.
Jallow has more than 1 year of eligibility left?
Didnāt realize that. Thought he was a 1 year loaner.
Jallow has 2yrs of eligibility.

Not sure Iād currently include these players as being a good core: Threadgill, Folkes, Garcia
Young
Brice Williams
Musa Jallow
Braswell
Khalifa
Thatās not a bad starting 5. Hopefully Sanchez can get a couple transfers with a lot of experience to replace Trapp and Butler. Sanchez needs to figure out a suitable backup for Khalifa besides Vasic.
