Taj79 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just starting this one up for tonight. I get this game and the next one on my sports package so I am happy to report I can watch this carnage live tonight. Gonna have to tape "Gotham." I did get the Ball State game on tape delay, which started at 4 in the morning. Considering the horror show it was, it likely saved many children from being mentally scarred for life. The only things I will say are three: 1) the dearth of talent on this team was again exposed, 2) try outs for spots on future teams are ongoing, and 3) Gillmann, Neufeld and Bishop opened on a down note, Roby and Hines on flat-line notes, and Welmer and Johnson on up sides. The grade on Moore was an incomplete in my book. Another good point is the sample size is only one game so more to follow. I liked Ford's search to find something ---- so much so that we tried pressing, token pressing, half court press/traps and zone. As a team, I got exactly what I expected. And evaluating based on wins and losses will be futile. Just have to see individual improvement going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 SLU vs. SUU Unique part of the country. One of these days I'll get out there and hit the Utah national parks; SUU is pretty close to Zion, and within a few hours of several others. My wife and I have also decided next time we visit the Grand Canyon, it'll be from the less-traveled north rim. Anyway, it's a shame to see The Wiz's line at 7 because this is a team we'd beat by 27 in most years. We're going to have our hands full with Randy Onwuasor, who, as @TheChosenOne mentioned in the last GDT thread, is a guy we recruited hard for a little bit and who wound up at Texas Tech, a bit underused. He played all 40 minutes in the opener against Valpo and had this stat line: 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 turnovers, 2 fouls, and a steal. 50% from the field, 67% from 3, and 69% from the FT line. He's a guy whose name I haven't thought of in a few years, but who apparently has found a place where he's got a full green light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If JB and MC shoot like they're capable, ie, don't go 1-15 from the floor, we're in the game. All the stuff RA seemed to have fixed in the second half of last season came back to haunt him with the travel calls and missed layups. I saw Gillmann and Neufeld play 8 mins. each and am not sure why everyone is on their case so bad. Granted, they're probably not A-10 level players but I didn't notice anything so glaring that they shouldn't be in the rotation. With Elliot "The Over" Welmer ready to break out and a little better shooting, we'll be fun to watch and might pull some upsets. Doesn't look like a team capable of a winning season though.

Taj79 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Mr. bill: your very statement was " ... not sure why everyone is on their (Gillmann/Neufeld) case so bad. Granted, they're probably not A-10 level players but I didn't notice anything so glaring that they shouldn't be in the rotation." If you are not an A-10 level player, not only is the question why are you in rotation but isn't it also why are you on the team? Nice kids I am sure but more proof in the pudding that the previous regime had no clue. NO CLUE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 "Hey, we scored more than 18!" is going to be my mantra for this year. Everyone knew that this year was going to be painful...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNBrews1818 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thoughts on Zeke getting more time (and hopefully making more of it) tonight? I thought he looked like arguably the most promising player from the exhibition game and I barely noticed him Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Question for those better in the know: is there still some sort of pregame deal on food and beer that ends like half an hour before tipoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Moore got 22 minutes last game. I think that's a good range for him at this point in his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Crawford's shooting doesn't improve I wouldn't mind ZM taking more shots. He had 6 in the last game I believe. As an aside, It was nice to see Agbeko get a little something going in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
