- Liberty 3-2
- FIU 2-3

Delaware is 7-1 on the season and Missouri State is 7-2 on the season. Both teams should be competitive right away in CUSA.

Preparing for the eventual departure of FSU and Clemson? they aren’t going to sit around like the PAC did.

Then does the AAC raid the Sunbelt or vice versa? Maybe they should try to merge.

Anybody wanna take a stab at what they think our record will be? I'm going with 26-5 (16-2)

Oglethorpe Roster

Why not use all the nil/collective money on buying five or six of the best men's basketball players we can? No money for any other sport. You would get the best bang for your dollar with this strategy. Are there rules that forbid this or is it just the preference of the donors to where the money is spent?

MTSU has landed its first commit of the 2025 class in Jax Howard. He plays at nearby Webb (Bell Buckle). Full story with quotes here:

Will be the battle of Blue Raiders vs Blue Raiders Wednesday night as MT awaits its final exhibition game for the 2024-25 season.
Lindsey Wilson an NAIA participant finished the 2023-24 season 19-12. They have received 13 votes in this year's preseason NAIA Top 25 polling. Last year Lindsey Wilson outscored their opponents by a 74-68 scoring average.
MT should have the definite size advantage once again as Lindsey Wilson has only 1 player over 6' 0" in height. In an early season D1 game last year Murray State & LW had a matchup with Murray winning comfortably 102-45.

What a douchebag this guy is. I saw it posted on another thread but surprised this didnt get its own thread. To give a key to the city to the coach of another in-state D1 program is just insane to me.
