Coliseum is empty... Let's play some ball!

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Great flop by a FIU player. Carter is gonna have a big year.

 

[Dawgpile]

Ragged start, but Carter is on fire with 2-3 pointers.

FIU playing man every trip and pressing full-court. It hasn't affected us so far.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Tyson is hot starting out with back to back threes. The first 10 games may be a struggle without a true PG though. Not much offensive movement so far

 

[Hanmudog]

At least challenge some of these shots at the rim. We are playing like everyone has 4 fouls.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Raggard for sure. Girls started the same way last night but they have a very different look to them on the floor. They seem much more confident.

That being said, Carter is not a PG and we need Nick fast.

 

[Dawgpile]

Ado says "No No No!"

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

Feazell dropped some weight

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Carter 3-3 from beyond the arc

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Zebras calling it waaaaay to tight for an opening game. We are going to spend most of the half shooting free throws.

 

[Hanmudog]

Getting outhustled pretty bad right now especially on the offensive glass.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Students showed up.... old farts not so much

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

We can complain about S&C for football but not for basketball. These guys are ripped.

 

[Seinfeld]

Is the ball magnetized tonight? I’ve seen roughly 8 loose balls since I’ve turned it on, and every one has bounced to FIU

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Woodard 4 turnovers in 8 minutes.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Same thing was happening last night. Girls were allowing breakaway layups.

They know the only chance they have is to try and get a lead early and expand it. Those legs of theirs will start getting tired in the second half.

 

[Seinfeld]

The fact that our starting PF and C have zero combined rebounds is a bit concerning

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Sloppy play expected in the opener but we have some depth this year.

Bad defense.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Woodard would be a NFL DE, but is very marginal SEC Basketball player.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Feazell doesn't look anything close to what he did last year.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Be nice if we could get it to Perry in the post...

Seriously, it seems he’s either high screen or on the opposite side of the play.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

We look like LeShite

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Hmm ok.

 

[Seinfeld]

Anyone got the list of posters that said we’d be better without Q and Lamar?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Yep... we are getting used to life without Q. Just thank God it is early and we actually have some players to choose from this year.

 

[Hanmudog]

We make basketball look so difficult.

 

[Dawgpile]

NICE cut by Woodard!!

 

[missouridawg]

Who can explain the 2 three point lines? Are the men and women playing from different depths?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I think the men now have a new 3pt line this year.

 

[Jddrew1142]

Men have the same three point like used in FIBA. International basketball. Womens is the same as always

 

[hailstate19]

Anyone got the list of posters that said we’d be better without Q and Lamar?

Q was a big loss, but unfortunately Lamar could be a liability at times.

 

[missouridawg]

Men have the same three point like used in FIBA. International basketball. Womens is the same as always

I’m 37 and I’ve now seen 3 different 3 point lines for collegiate teams since I finished at State. “As always” is quite relative.

 

[Jddrew1142]

Haha. Great point. I should have said the same as last year.

 

[missouridawg]

I’m not going to pretend like I know more than Howland... but DJ Stewart’s length would’ve been an excellent weapon for about 10-12 minutes a game last year playing perimeter D. Would’ve come in hand the final few minutes if the Liberty loss. We missed Nick badly in that game.

I love our team length this year. Lots of athletes.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Look much better now.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Perry 1 point at half

 

[Hanmudog]

If this team will commit to defense and limit turnovers, they have tremendous potential. Lots of length.

 

[Dawgpile]

How many more games for 'Spoon's suspension?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

If this team will commit to defense and limit turnovers, they have tremendous potential. Lots of length.

I thought that was defense I saw. It had been so long since I have seen it in a mens game.

Seriously though, we have some talent. We just need it all to gel come Feb and March.

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

I like molinar, he's gonna be fun to watch
