MAC Hoops Season Starts

We're firing up the MAC hoops season today. In our last 34 MAC games, we have won only 8, as sure a measure of the state of the program as you can find.

OU is a good team, with talented players. Let's hope we can pull an upset.

I mentioned earlier that we needed to make progress in having consistent output. One key element is Otis Polk, who showed his first long-term performance against Duquesne. Here's what Coach Orr said, as listed in Jack Carle's blog:

Orr on Otis

“I’m a firm believer that if you practice well that’s the first evidence you see with a player coming into his own.

“With Otis especially since he’s come back from the break, I’ve seen him start to arrive on the offensive end, on the boards, playing more confidence. He’s got more spring in his step.”
