Beat Lithuania again Today...

[engie]

Q with 34, Peters with 20, Carter with 16...

Really wish I knew how to compare these teams we've beat with college teams. Exciting to see Q with the points though. He could be great for us.

I think we can shoot it. Get Kegler going and we might make some

noise after Christmas. Next year gonna be nice.

 

[Digging dog]

Q & L. Peters are gonna be fun to watch.

 

[patdog]

I think the Lithuanian team we've beat twice beat Georgetown in last year's preseason European tour. Georgetown wasn't very good last year, though.

I'm already thinking that we're gonna be regretting our cupcake schedule. This team has one thing the Ray teams NEVER had: Shooters. And probably better scorers than Ray ever had.

I'm pretty sure that the "actual" national team is in Rio and that they have a few national teams. Wasn't today a different national team than we played Friday? Pretty sure I saw that on Paul's board.

Still great to get some early games (and wins) for this young team.

 

[patdog]

It's been established that the senior national team is at the Olympics and this is probably their U-21 team. I watched some of the Periscope of the game Friday, and Bob said "THIS team beat Georgetown last year on their European tour." So, unless he's wrong, the team we beat Friday is the same team that beat Georgetown. I would guess Lithuania didn't send 2 different junior teams to Italy and we played the same team again today (the scores were similar), but I don't know that.

I believe this was a different team we played today as well. Not 100 percent sure but think so

Our guard play is gonna be fun to watch. Peters at the point w Wright taking it to the hole and Carter draining 3's. We have some very very talented freshmen. I'm ready to see them play

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Man, I hope we get to see Q and his brother play together.

Assuming we can reel in Nick (Q's national top 50 player, PG brother, class of 17), the Weatherspoons could really be the players that helped get this program back on track - not Malik like we all thought, and not Ware/Sword/Thomas like Carskaddon etc. like to tell us.

 

[patdog]

Looks like those may be 2 Lithuanian pro teams, and not a junior national team from what I just read at ForWhomTheCowbellTolls.

Correct - I'd say they're closer to AAU teams than FIBA teams, with Lithuania being their governing body. Not national teams.

Lithuania's national team is the 3rd best team in the world. We'd eat **** against their U23 team, probably, but getting essentially in-game practice against professionals from a country with a decent pro league is going to go a long way for these freshmen and their development.

The only way we won't is if Q has a monster year and enters the draft.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

This team is going to be good this season, SCARY good next season....and even SCARIER the year after!

 

[woozman]

Either way - good wins and a potential good sign considering that these were the first "games" these guys have played as a team.

Wait, can it be? Can...can I start enjoying basketball again?

 

[KurtRambis4]

He's ours, barring

any major, unforeseen happenings.

Agree and I heard that the last team was a Lithuanian 'Club' team. Don't know what a 'club' team is but that's what I heard.
