If Marshall has an over .500 record I will change Because we have 3 votes that say it was close to par but for now this is a game where we played a 11-21 team and trailed by 16 in the 2nd half
5-4 votes for under
There you go again letting facts get in the way.
We had a
1) way way way under par
2) not quiet par
3) just under par
4) once we got into a rhythm in the 2nd half par
5) par
6) par
That's 4 under pars to 2 pars unless of course you prefer making up responses again
Good comeback
Way way way under achieving for this game.
I'm sure I'll get blasted for this, but I see it more toward par. Not quite par but pretty close, poor start and all.
I think Barnes was using the Marshall game as an opportunity to play different combinations early. All 11 players saw time in the first half. Once they settled in to the rhythm in the 2nd half they were on par.
Slightly under. Once UT got it together they were clearly the better team though.
All things considered, par
I agree with you on par, at the end of the day we won and came very close to hitting the spread, I would go with par.
I'll say subpar performance right now, but I'm really starting to question the talent level and skills of the indivduals on this team.
I think we may struggle to finish .500, and if that is the case, a lot of the games that seemed subpar at the time may actually be on par with our actual talent in hindsight.
This. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure this team can really under perform and beat many teams, they're not good enough(IMO) to have much of an off night and still win.
So that's 7-5 votes for par, yet the OP has it listed at under par?
If you want to count in your own ignorant way start your own thread it isn't hard
While you are at it maybe you can start saying we are 3-0 and beat Ga Tech since we scored just a little less than them or we weren't quiet there in the scoring department but pretty darn close.

Parity is real and present in college bball. The talent isn't as far apart from a power 5 school to mid major. Ive read here from some that Marshall is poorly coached. But the players still want to pull an upset against a power 5. So with the personnel and lack of that knowledgeable basketvol fans know we have right now, any win is a good one. Jmo

Under par
Par. We sucked for a while but got on a run and almost covered. We just have to get better a little at a time. Candy went to ot to Stony Brook. It happens to a lot of teams. We just need to win the games we are supposed to and a few we aren't.
Par is appropriate considering the crowd for much of the game acted like they were at a golf match.
Under par. You don't get down by that many to a team like Marshall. I'll take any win, but there's a lot to be concerned about.

Par.
How can you look at this roster, (present development) and conclude any win to be sub par?
We have 1 player that may even sniff a pair of NBA shorts and he's hobbled by sickness and injury.
Parity ==? The Elites and the rest of us.
I'd go par. We are going to go as Punter goes this year.
I vote par for the Marshall game.
