Key points after 2 games:

4. Kirk WILL BE MAC frosh of year
Have you even looked at a box score from any other MAC team this year?

I don't know about Frosh of the Year, but that underhand scoop lay in Kirk had around the Clemson big man was very impressive. I laughed because I'd never seen anything like that done before so effortlessly.

It may not be that farfetched. There's only 6 Freshmen in the MAC getting starters minutes as of now. Two on Miami and one one BG.

Parrish from Akron and Jackson from Toledo might end up being his biggest competition, but Kirk has as good of a chance as any of them.

3 games in and our main Point Guard still has not attempted a 3 point shot, crazy. I do not recall ever seeing a guard be completely drive-oriented with no outside shot whatsoever. It's early, so he may still have that in his repertoire...but I love what he can do when he drives, he has great finishing ability, can make an inside out pass, and he is extremely talented with behind the back dribbling. I'm impressed.

Based on his one FT attempt yesterday, I'm guessing he doesn't exactly have the sweetest looking shot. Looks like something that needs work.

Littlejohn is smaller with more intimate sidelines and a more closed in shooters background. Was last in there in 2013. Looking forward to the trip. Not looking forward to the inevitable drubbing were going to see this week
It appears you needed it.

Clemson doesn't look to be overkill big, but big enough that they'll be able to lean on our thin front line pretty heavily. Expect to see a lot of drives and kicks and a lot of threes from Ohio. Hopefully we can connect better than we did Saturday. Playing in a small gym may help us more than them, if they're used to playing in a big one.
Just playing Devil's advocate, I think Littlejohn Coliseum is smaller than The Convo. Making a bunch of 3's could even the odds.

. An answer to this exchange calls for a corrective response from you... Glad you made the trip you could have corrected me onsite. I

No one here intimated that we were playing in Littlejohn from what I was reading,.. since I made the trip and have been here before and to Littlejohn as well, I'm pretty sure I knew the difference

Feel free to chime in and critique comments based on how you read them anytime though.

I'm a little confused. I misunderstood the angle GoCats was going for in comparing ACC arenas to MAC arenas rather than Littlejohn to The Convo. That's about it.

Also didn't see this until this evening. The trip was outstanding, and sharing college hoops with my nieces was really cool. I hope your trip was as well, along with the trip home. We just got back about 3 hours ago. That drive gets more annoying every year older I get.
