This gave me heartburn. Some of the highlights (really shouldn't call them that):
-George Mason returns their entire starting lineup from 2009-10. ODU and VCU return 4 out of 5 starters. There's the Top 3 teams in the league for 2010-11.
-We do not return a single person in any major statistical category. Again, not a good sign.
-The Preview:
Senior point guard Marques Johnson is Georgia State’s lone returning starter. The N.C. State transfer started 20 of the Panthers’ final 24 contests and was second on the team with 73 assists.
Junior guard Jihad Ali averaged 8.9 ppg and 3.6 rpg over GSU’s final nine games last season. He poured in a career-best 22 points in the Panthers’ 61-57 victory over George Mason, including the game-winning three pointer with 42 seconds left.
The Panthers face the difficult task of replacing their top five scorers from a year ago, who combined to average 47.2 ppg. GSU has added seven new players to this year’s roster, including three junior college transfers.
Ugh, more bad news considering we were one of the worst scoring teams in the conference.

Hey at least that means the Barnes era is probably over after this season...can't believe that Levick will tolerate another losing season unless there is significant improvement at the very least.
ReplyDeleteWorst scoring in the past 3 years, or near worst. That does not mean this year will be the same. The group that left never fully bought into the Barnes way of playing. This year could be different. We just have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteJMU will join the big three this year as the 4th top tier CAA school since Northeastern has fallen back
