rico Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I am hearing that Farrakan kid is pretty good. However the projections I have seen have EMich finishing towards the bottom of the MAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He was 13-of-19 for 27 points, with seven rebounds and six assists" 😮 1-4 from 3 though...and I doubt any of the Oakland guards are as good defensively as Rob Phinisee... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Remember when Stan Heath was a hot commodity in 2002 after leading Kent State to a 30-6 record and the Elite 8 (where IU took them out)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 My expectations are not that high, but, that said, if we only start the game 19-20 from the floor, I'm going to damn well want to know what's wrong with the guy who missed the shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thank you @IUFLAfor starting this. A pre game thread makes this feel even more real. I can’t wait to see this team. I’ll have to watch on DVR later that evening. That always drives me nuts to have to do that, but especially for the first game of the first season with a new coach. I’m helping coach my son’s team and we have a game. Hopefully I see two wins that night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 First pre-game thread of the Woodson era! Man, this off season has felt like it’s three years long. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Oakland ranked #193 in Kenpom and Eastern Michigan #297. But looks like EM is much better than that. Can't wait for some real action! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Lots of players cramped up in this game. OU apparently w/o their best player. Farrakan is good. Can get wherever he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1K Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 The first game I have tickets for reasonable time I just hate the late 9:00 games during the week. I'll be interested to see how much different we look under Woodson compared to the last three seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 For myself, the off-season was a blur. I’ve been so busy over the summer. Looking forward to a new and improved season. Go Hoosiers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrus13 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Cannot wait for Tuesday to get here! I've been waiting since March for this season to start!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hopefully Assembly Hall is packed and ready to explode after our first basket. I want it to be a place where opponents dread playing again. It's really lost its edge the last few years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaloisGroupe Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I cannot wait for the game - I feel like this was simultaneously the most interesting offseason and the LONGEST in my memory. I feel like I have been waiting for the start of the Woodson era for 10+ years! I cannot believe I am also ready for the (inevitable) post game overreactions: If we win by more than 25: We are unstoppable, #6 here we come, let's build a statue for Coach Woodson If we win by less 15: What is wrong with the team, we need better players, (insert name of a player with 2+ turnovers) should transfer If we lose: The apocalypse is here, fire Woodson, kick all players off the team I think if we win in the 15 - 25 range, maybe we will not overreact... maybe :)! Here's to winning the first one by 35+. Let's build that statue! I do believe that Woodson will bring us #6 before he is done... and #7. (I got into the Kool-Aid last night...)

It's a difficult one to gauge...Eastern Michigan has a couple of players who can play, and they have some size...and Stan Heath can coach a little...
