Was surprised to see that Reggie Bass, 1st ballot bad advice hall of famer, is averaging 9 points a game for the Lindenwood Lions. I thought he was going back to Kent State?

I have no idea what to make of OUr team right now. 6-6 perfectly sums us up. Lost to the good teams (some not so great) and beat the bad teams. Shades of what could be like our first three quarters vs. Memphis. I have a terribly positive feeling that we can win this thing or we can not even finish top 8. I think with Reef back that changes things. He certainly brings something to the squad. I would have liked to have seen more out of Evans or even Nichol in the non-con but who knows, maybe Kuany will go 10 and 10 like Wadley Mompremier did to open one year!

This is another coin flip game.

On the road, given how we've played away from the convo, I'm not terribly optimistic unless we get unexpected production like Kuany contributes or Reef plays 30 minutes and goes off.

Much more optimistic to steal one at Beefalo.

I was gonna ask about Kuany do we know if he's actually going to suit up?

If I missed this I apologize but who is on crutches with the large leg brace/walking boot? I believe he was using a scooter previously.

CMU is the most dangerous and unknown team in the MAC. As noted, four of their six wins are non-D1s. But ...

A check of both NCAA Net and Kenpom, their two wins South Alabama (127/149) and George Mason (83/82) are the best two wins in the MAC, by far!!!

(Man, what does that tell you.)

Then again, they did lose to Stoney Brook (Kenpom 315) at home.

Kuany has been in uniform that last 3 games. Not sure if he was, or will be, eligible to play.

I really got my first good look at Kuany during the Muskingum game. The kid looks like he was recruited from an Australian refugee camp. I'd be surprised if we see any production from him this season.

lol man stop it

He has good pedigree. And good tape. All his brothers are rail thin and played college basketball. I believe both now play in the Australian league.

Yea, idc if Kuany is 195-200 lbs at his height. If his athleticism can play this year, I’m all for the jolt during MAC play.

Does anyone know for 100 percent sure that he's eligible now to play against CMU? I've seen a lot of speculation, but if there's been a direct quote from a coach on this I've missed it.

This is where once again having no media presence hurts to ask a simple question to Boals. Is Kuany redshirting? I thought we were under the belief that he was redshirting? I'm certainly not expecting him to play this season.

Just a brutal two-game road trip to start. And the CMU game being at night is a killer. I'm assuming the team is taking a charter to Buffalo Sunday or flying out of Detroit commercial on Sunday?

SBH caught wind of an interesting comment a few weeks back from an OU staffer — he posted in the Redshirts thread. This has led to speculation that perhaps Kuany isn’t redshirting and is eligbile as of 1/1. We’ll find out soon either way.
