Agreed. Legit opponent. Started bad, but the team & crowd got better in the 2nd half.

They've added murals to the concourse I hadn't seen before. I thought I made a game last year, but maybe it was two years ago.

 

[Seinfeld]

Great game, but the hot dogs could still use some work

 

[Bulldogg31]

Best atmosphere I've seen in a game at the Hump in a long time. The DJ in the student section does a great job mixing in with the Pep Band, who did a great (and funny) job as always.

Btw, Stephen F Austin was 4-0 coming in to this game and beat their last opponent 118-68. They can flat out shoot and they'll win their conference and be a tourney team. Very good non-con win.

Haha. Cochise Sr. wasn't happy with his at all either. And he knew before hand he wouldn't be, so he lathered that sumbitch up with condiments. He said it didn't help.

At the risk of this becoming a hot dog thread, it occurred to me I've seen better (and bigger) concessions offerings at high school games.

I saw: hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and candy. What did I miss? If this was Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Night I'd understand, but I have to believe there are some local restaurants that wouldn't mind feeding the crowds at the Hump.

Who is in charge of that area?

This is the best atmosphere I have seen at a non conference game since stans was the coach (based on watching it on tv)

the Kentucky game last year was the best atmosphere I have seen overall since stans was the coach (once again That's based on watching on tv)

A few things

1. Great second half defensively...especially the first 12 or so minutes of the second half.

2. I liked seeing us put the ball on the floor and get to the line while the outside shots weren't falling. That is smart basketball. They ended up in foul trouble and the outside shots eventually started falling in the second half.

3. Ado gives us some physicality on the interior that we have not had under Howland. The jury is still out on his offensive contribution but he is a great addition on the defensive side.

4. Nick Weatherspoon played under control at the point. That was our toughest opponent to date and we played well without our starting PG. He is extremely athletic at the PG position. He is active defensively and his athleticism adds a lot on the perimeter.

5. Both Carter and Holman played great. And we have enough talented depth on the roster that next time out it will be someone else's turn. I could see a handful of players getting hot on a night and going for 15+. That's difficult to defend.

He had a quiet night offensively last night but he scored 12 in both of the last two games before it, a good portion of those without help. He still has some work to do, but just what he's shown thus far makes him the most offensively capable freshman down low we've had in a LONG time.

 

[Seinfeld]

It most definitely didn’t. The casing felt like you were biting through a plastic wrapper, and the rest was just bland. I know a lot of people think this is a joke or just petty complaining, but here’s the thing.... I eat hot dogs probably twice/year, and for some reason, the only time they ever sound remotely good to me is when I’m at a ballgame. The fact that I have fond memories of those awesome Bryan jalapeño dogs at the Hump doesn’t help either

When we live in a day and age of Ballpark, Nathan’s, Bryan, and about twenty other solid brands, I just don’t get how you can keep screwing this up

 

[Seinfeld]

I’ve been really pleased with the team’s defensive effort the last couple games. A lot of hustle and aggressive rebounding that I haven’t seen in years.

Also, I’m trying not to look past this year, but the thought of Ado/Perry down low next year with all of our talented guards is really exciting

 

[Predestined]

Last year’s team is probably 2-2 now

These last two games have impressed me. We could have folded for different reasons in both games but we weathered the storms. We get our shooting down, we could do something.

I love Ado.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

I didn't watch much last night and didn't see Herard. How has he looked so far? His minutes appear to be way down.

 

[sloan.sixpack]

Ej datcher def got all the run over herard and I thought he looked sharp...was actually saying the other day that our rotation is actually to big and we needed to shrink it down once the games get tougher and looks like we saw that last night herard may just be the odd man out. Still a nice option to have if someone gets in foul trouble but there just ain't enough balls to go around especially if X comes back healthy.

this team is fun to watch gets to the hole and hasn't even shot well yet, def woulda lost last two games in years past

very intrigued to see what we do at cincy, somehow pull that out we really could be undefeated heading into sec

It's time, as fans,

for us to start supporting the basketball program.

Howland has done his job, in bringing in top talent.

A big big part in winning at home is having an intimidating atmosphere.

You cant have that with 6000 people at the Hump.

6k on any weekday is a win right now. I know you remember last year.

I have a feeling attendance improves a lot this year.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

6k? And "the fans" demand we win everything and get a topp seed in the tourney?

 

[KurtRambis4]

FOr sure, that was

probably the best crowd I've ever seen in a November game. I'm speaking on when conference games start. It's time to start packing the Hump for SEC games.

 

[Seinfeld]

Best way I can put it is that Herard just seems to be taking up space lately. I don’t know exactly what isn’t clicking, but something just isn’t.

 

[Miketice]

That is funny

Haha. Cochise Sr. wasn't happy with his at all either. And he knew before hand he wouldn't be, so he lathered that sumbitch up with condiments. He said it didn't help.

I picture it funny anyway
