Can't be giving out Transy's secrets to the public!

I do know that last year Transy traveled to Wooster and played very well, nearly won the game. I think the final margin was 6 or 7.  However that was with 7 seniors.  Not positive but I believe Wooster returns everybody but Witucky?

Transy will bring a full crowd, their fans are pretty faithful.  I believe they sold out their allotment last year at Wittenburg in the first hour or two because we had to get tickets another way. 

The new kids for TU will be hit with nerves when they realize how many fans Wooster will pack that gym with.  I am hoping to make it, but have not purchased tickets.

Good Luck Transy.

Anyone have a link to the Brian Lane interview?

TU has had it.   Very sad to see this talented team not continue what they had been working on for the 5 years they have been here.  I am not sure what the rest of the season will be like, but the last 2 games have been the lowpoint of their 6 year D3 existence.

Transy lost tough 1 at home last night to HC.  Transy up 2 when HC hit a 3 with 6 seconds left.  A 3rd stringer was somehow in the game and took the last second shot for TU.  Again, they are still searching for chemestry with just a month left to play.

The press release from TU said that game broke a 23 home court win streak for the pioneers dating back to the first matchup with Wittenburg early last season.  Tough game to lose as TU usually considers HC their "rival" in the conference, especially when HC is down for their standards this season.

Transy is just simply inconsistant and have no leaders on the floor.  Had something of a 5 point lead with just under a minute to go, then down at the end and didn't get a shot off.

Searle is back, playing well, but not enough for the Pioneers.  Searle and Feagan will still battle for an MVP of the conference award, but the guard play along with leadership might keep them from rolling the HCAC like they did last season.

They are capable, but will they find their swagger?

The freshman Parton from Transy has been playing very well on their Jr. Varsity level, shoots the ball well and plays hard from what I hear.  Transy's guard play is shaky, they start a soph. at Point and the 2 guard has yet to be claimed, a sophomore and 2 freshman (including parton now) have been battling for time, but none of them shining through.

Interesting to see how they do against a tough Manchester team at home for TU.  TU, as good as theyve been the last few seasons, they are only 2-8 or 3-7 against MC in the 5 seasons in the conference.

For TU- Searle has been practicing with the team, but his first game will be in 2 weeks I believe.

Transy is still struggling to find chemistry with so many new players and unfamiliar faces.  Terrible loss to MSJ, same thing happened last season if I remember correct.  Close win vs AU in OT.. Coach Brian Lane will have them playing better by the 1st of the year I am sure..

I am happy with only 4 teams making tourney, would be a disgrace for a team that played poorly during the regular season to be able to get hot and run the table with luck and get the NCAA bid.  You shoul dbe rewarded for great play throughout the year. Consistancy builds programs, not luck.

TU -- Joey Searle and Joey Verax


What do others think?  Who do you expect to step up at your school?

Greetings-
Transy has a deep roster, filled with some talented Freshman, 3 of which, maybe 4, will make the Freshman All Conference team (if there is one, can't remember). 

And star Nick Feagan has returned for a Senior Season after taking 2 years away from basketball for personal issues from my understanding.  Look for him to make a run at MVP with Searle and Verax also having that chance.

Others to possibly win MVP- Anthony from Bluffton will be solid all year, and I like sophomores Marshall from Franklin and Parker from Hanover to make their names for next season.  But I would think the favorite has to be Wade from Manchester if he is as good as his potential was 2 years ago. 

It will more than likely be between Wade and Feagan, Transy will most likely have the better year, but Feagan has more competition from his own teammates.
