I have never understood how we could lose in some of these away games when our record is so much better than the other teams, like last nights game vs. Eastern Mich. ANY WAY Let's go Cats and finish strong!

Good to dominant at home. Run out of the gym most of the time on the road.

A step further... we have yet to hold a road opponent to under 70 points, unless you want to count Michigan's total in regulation. Six of our road games we have allowed more than 80 points.

Some of it isn't fair to compare the NIL/Portal mess in 2021 and beyond to what it was like 15-20 years ago. Some of it is the fact that with the portal being reality, you've got to be able to recruit 2-3 quality transfer players every year that can contribute immediately. The reality is that Ohio lost two guys that were really good, graduated another one, and replaced them with Baker, Wiznitzer, and Hunter. Only Hunter looks pretty good. Throw in whatever is going on with Roderick, and you have exactly what we're watching right now. Hopefully it's just an anomaly season, and next year they're able to grab a couple transfer that can contribute more.

Under Boals, we have yet to have guys who came in as freshmen and have had their level of sustained impact. It could have been Mark Sears, but, you know. Dwight Wilson vs. Mychal Green, though different positions, are similar in that they are two year transfers. Slight edge to Wilson. We all seem to adore Sonny Troutman but my memory is that he had several disappearing acts. Could go for 25 and then be quiet the next night. A bit of an edge in favor of Troutman vs Miles Brown. The rest? I just have memories of guys like Matt Annen, Johnnie Jackson, Ken Ottrix, Allen Hester, BW4, handing Cliff McGowan a scholarship. I'd take Gabe over Clay McGowan, to be honest.

Dominant big man (Leon/DW3), promising young talent, TONS of guards.

It's not really possible to do an apples-to-apples comparison given the sea change presented by NIL and new transfer rules, but in terms of putting quality players on the floor Boals is officially underpeforming on recruiting. We have a big enough sample now, and we can see Kent and Akron running circles around us in the new era. Biggest hoops budget, biggest arena, biggest attendance and biggest disappointment. You can point to whatever excuse you want, but languishing in 8th place in year five of this regime is alarming. And it starts with who Boals is getting to come to Athens. This staff absolutely needs to change its recruiting approach or this program is going to keep getting smoked by the top third of the league year after year.

Year 4 but otherwise I agree about needing to change it up a little bit. Akron and Kent were already suited for the transer portal era as they took on a lot of transfers anyways and I'm guessing Ohio has stricter academic standards. Still, it's impossible to account for losing guys to either injury or transfer. You can only do so much to anticipate that.
