Nice job! Is Miami big man still out for being investigated by NCAA?

Maybe. I haven't heard anything official yet.

Yes...there is a player still ineligible by the NCAA. I think from TX? I heard the commentators talking about him during the Miami vs Lehigh game.

I will note that that game could have been much closer as Lehigh did not convert and had plenty of opportunities to do so, especially in the first half.

I hope your right. We've got to develop some freshman and quick.

Miami got 16 votes in the latest AP poll, Buffalo is now ranked #25 and Alabama (11) is receiving votes as well.

Buffalo was ranked just outside and knocking off #13 West Virginia didn't hurt. I know people want stronger nonconference games, but I love our schedule this year. We have tough winnable games (at least we did with our full complement of players that we had when we scheduled them). A good run through this schedule would have left us poised for great seeding. I still have high hopes even if our injuries have made me reassess our overall design expectations.

Any word on Aaron for this week ?

The word is don't expect him.

The line I saw was Miami by 20. O/U 146. Vegas has looked at the SAGU score LOL.

I'm not worried, it ain't even Hurricane season.

Buffalo plays Southern IL tonight

Miami was picked 10th in a very strong ACC in its preseason poll.

Game day!!! Time to start chopping wood!

Hope Miami is less resilient than that block of wood.

No respect for SFA on Miami message boards. So, I hope they continue to sleep on us, and in the meantime, we get our game together and come away with an upset. That will make for a great Thanksgiving!

We haven't given them anything to respect, honestly.

The team from last year means nothing to Miami, so the tape they have, from this year, should not strike a lot of fear into them or their fans.

I hope I am wrong, but if we don't play 200% better than we have the first two games, it's gonna be bad.

From KTRE

Three of the core pieces head coach Kyle Keller hoped to have back have been dealing with injuries. Aaron Augustine has an injured arm but should be making a return by the end of November. John Comeaux is out f action but has started practicing and Keller is optimistic that a return will happen. The hearty of the team, TJ Holyfield is out for the season. With those productive players all in dress clothes on the bench, players that were previously coming in off the bench are now being relied upon.
The Jacks won their first two games like everyone thought they would but not by the score margin everyone thought they would. In their second games of the year, a controversial foul call sent the Jacks to the line with 2 seconds left and the team pulled out a 68-67 win over Southwestern Assemblies of God University out of the NAIA.
"We have to get better every day," assistant head coach Jeremy Cox said. "I don't think it is back to the drawing board or time to his the reset button. This is a very young team. It has a lot of new parts. Shannon Bogues is still playing the point with Augustine out. Holyfiled is gone for the year from our interior game. We are hurting on defense with Comeaux out. He is one of the best and you can see we miss him. We have a lot of young talented athletes and they have to learn a new system."

The team will have their first true NCAA test on Tuesday night when the take on the University of Miami.
"I think now looking at it we would have wanted this game in December like we did with LSU last year," Cox said. "But it is not about that final score for us. It is about getting better each day. Right now we are clicking on three of five cylinders. Last year we were clicking on 12-13 with the way our bench played. "right now we got guys in the right possesion not playing hard enough. We got guys playing hard enough but not in the right position. That is really hard to do and think. When you think it makes your feet slow."
Both SFA and Miami were in the NCAA Tournament last year and both teams played in Dallas for round 1.

The part that irks me is kids in the wrong and not playing hard. That's going to catch up to us tonight. Getting Aaron back in a couple weeks will be a big help. Huge. But it won't make up for the lack of depth we are dealing with.

I meant the program as a whole. There was a response saying how we had been to the Dance several times.

Spread has SFA plus 14.5 and o/u 143. Money line plus 900 for SFA

Spread has come down. I want to say I saw it around 20 over the weekend...

30 minutes out. Time for a driveway pick up game. Anyone want in?

Dang, TJ Oliver is out too? The hits just keep on coming.

Plenty of talent in this team. A little to much 1v1.

Wow that move by Oddyst on the fast break.

Should have been a goal tend.

So a violation putting the ball in play with no one around? Isn't that equal to a uniform violation that our football team seems to get flagged for? This is going to be a long night.

Pretty awesome to see the 5 year win percentages for Texas on the screen.
