Sure, I hope we win, but if the choice is another deep NCAA run, then I would choose that.

I'm not expecting to win with the way our roster is constructed, but you can be damn sure I'm all in for us to win every game.

I agree that a short bench makes a loser out tournament harder to win.

The only category the team has improved on since non conference is FT %.

The way our roster is constructed is just fine.

We’ve played 30 games and are playing our best basketball. The players themselves say the fatigue factor of 38-39-40 minutes over 34 is negligible. If you buy that it’s also counterintuitive to say that your 8th guy can give you what the second guy could give you in those 4-6 minutes.

Where it really might be a gut punch is foul trouble, but since our structure minimizes that to an absurd level it’s almost not a potential issue.

Plus if we won the BET we’d almost assuredly get a 2/15 game to open and the 7/10 winner two days later.

Put me down for feeling like our top heavy structure is a great match for a deep run. I want Ryan playing their backup big and Baylor going up against their reserve wing.

Completely out of context. There’s only one Central Michigan in conference, not several.

The arena has already been enlarged and now they are proposing to enlarge the convention center. This all should have been done originally along with more than one exit from lot "D" which is a nightmare.

That’s kind of a “get off my lawn” response to some incredible data on attendance.

I wouldn’t want the arena to be any bigger, frankly. 20+ K can be too cavernous.

The Jays aren't filling 18k to capacity most nights, and you want to add 2,000 seats?

It would be nice if CHI could conjure some more suites.

Would solve a few issues.

Moves some corp folks from prime lower bowl seating that sometimes goes empty, $$$$$, and perhaps bumps capacity
