Alcorn St Game Thread
- Thread starter cmullinsTU
- Start date
To put it in perspective the only team we played worse than 300 was ECU at #307.
Alcorn St and South Carolina St are both worse than any team we played last year. Cal Baptist and Yooler are better than a couple teams we played last year but worse than any team we lost too last season (including Lamar). If we aren’t 4-0 going into the Nevada game, we have a serious problem.
And Vernell Davis and Yusef Baker are still walking back from north Tulsa.
Just keep Monty away from Frank.. He will tell Frank to run two up the middle plays and then heave a half court shot on 3rd down..
But they will obviously take a wide berth around 6th and Delaware...Every time either gets close to a class room (and it's always by accident)
they break out in hives.....
I knew Atson was back east. Quinnipiac has a good lacrosse team and a really good men's hockey team. They play in the MAAC for basketball...a bunch of small liberal arts colleges including Iona.
Alright what is everyone's guess on the starting 5 for tonight?
I'll take a crack at it, based on nothing other than a gut feeling I don't think it'll be the same as the exhibition starting line-up:
1. Taplin
2. Joiner
3. Moore
4. Jeffries
5. Igbanu

My question on this one would be what does Jackson bring to this lineup that is preferential over Scott?
Defense and athleticism? He's the only one in that line-up that isn't a good 3 point shooter. I really like Scott, but I can see the appeal of bringing him off the bench, but really I don't know what to expect.
Not sure about the lineup but all I expect tonight is a 110-55 Victory to go 1-0
My little guys play tonight at 8 so I'll my plans to go are cancelled.
A big win would do big things for everyone right now!
GOTU!

I think Haith always likes to have one guy who comes off the bench and is able to torch the opponent's bench as both teams naturally rotate. "Our 2's are better than your 2's" idea. Plus setting up a defensive identity early on is good and we really only have one defensive player on the court if we run out Scott and Jeffries at the same time.
I’m listening to Bruce and Frank on the pregame. I’m getting very excited, now have butterflies. LET’S DO THIS!!!
Aston is the winner. Haith announced same starting lineup. Also explained why Jackson, they want to start games in man-to-man and they feel confident he can guard the best perimeter player on offense from the tip and get into passing lanes.
#5 Howard of Alcorn St is a player to watch. He likes to shoot 3s from anywhere on the court and apparently from very far behind the line.
They also have a 6’5 250lb big man that sounds like a college version of Zach Randolph. But also likes to shoot 3s, especially in transition. Coach said he’s a very unique player because of his size but lack of height.

Hockey lineup change at the under 16. Not surprised, but worries me that we’re still going to have an upset going with auto subs regardless of having a hot guy.
