bauman Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Sorry I was too optimistic picking the Bills by 26-if only Brad had let us take a shot at the end. If I get this close on another prediction I'm heading to Vegas. THE GOOD: -TL and KL made you forget they were freshmen playing their first game-much better than you have a right to expect from a FR. Tommie for overall game and Kevin for shooting and defending. I see KL as our best 3 pt shooter throughout the season. -IV made some really exceptional passes, played well on Off. even while being double teamed. A little more intensity would help on the boards. Good job staying out of foul trbl. -AD a good job of leadership and excelled on defending against their top scorer -DB shows the potential to be a real gem and our leading scorer -Free throws-nice to have IV/KL/TL and especially DB at the line -Defense picked up from 2 exhibition games-much more intense with just a few breakdowns. -Teamwork-they seem to really jell as a unit, if anything being too unselfish -Depth-no matter who we sub we seem to do well THE BAD: -No Band -Very few students -JJ not getting 15-20 minutes -LM not ready yet-still showing signs of rust. -The first 10 minutes THE UGLY: Getting into the facility(I've already ranted on this elsewhere).

Box and Won Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I agree with your post. I thought AD and VN both played nice games, even though it might not show up in the box score. I was glad to see Luke out there - he seemed to be moving well, even though his shot wasn't falling. That will come back with time, I'm sure. I can understand the lack of student attendance with the holiday and all. That said, there were probably more students there than we've had at past games! Lack of band really makes a difference. It's just not the same without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 On live streaming it seemed there was a band in the background...they kept playing Oh when the Saints....again, and again, and again. I thought it was the band, although their repetoire was pretty slim. Was that a soundtrack over the PA system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 If it was being played over the PA system I missed it. Just about all I heard was hip-hop, which as I looked around the arena, probably missed it's mark with the great majority of those in attendance.

Box and Won Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah, they had it recorded and played it over the loud speakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 KFNS seems to have a sample of the fight song that they play underneath every time they come back to Rammer. Perhaps the live stream does the same thing. For a relatively new arena, the sound system out there was appalling. (No high end whatsover.) The only merit of playing out there was that it showed the benefit of a 75%-filled arena as opposed to a 33%-filled arena. Overall, a near-perfect first game -- "near-perfect," even given the shooting, because they might have got a bit too confident had they blown them out by Xavier's margin. I say keep us hungry and keep us an underdog until, say, the second round of the Big Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrivener Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 It's been a while since I last studied geometry...so I was at a loss to describe the blue patch that appears on this year's edition of the uniform shorts. But perhaps a better question than "What was it -- trapezoid or parallelogram?" is "Why?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
