Basketball opening night

[maroontide06]

Why isn't Kamani Hamilton listed on State's roster anywhere? He played last night.

 

[Big Dawg81]

Where is Gai Chol? Did he transfer or graduated?

Pretty sure I saw him on the bench. Must be an injury of some kind that kept him out. It seemed everyone else played.

Transfer

 

[Predestined]

Thought we hit our open shots, which if you watched the last couple of years, is new.

Turnovers way too much especially first half but we settled down.

Defense - good at times. but hopefully not a bad sign that we let that one guy drive over and over to the basket again. He made everything it seemed even when we fouled him (which we did a lot).

Missed too many long passes to the bucket but hit a couple near then end.

The 86 is troubling but I am not going to worry yet. Loved the 100 and that when they made their runs, we responded.

Saw Memphis knocked off Iowa State (I think at neutral site).

Bart/Marcus team was good, though Bart struggled skipping too many words at times (hey, since were all about criticizing). Seriously, we have good local broadcasters unlike most teams.

Our bigs are still Charmin soft. We could be pretty good if we could get good offense or great interior defense, but these guys refuse to go up and dunk in someone's face. everyone has to catch a pass and try to finesse their way to the basket. They aren't that nimble or coordinated.

I said this about Tolu back when. If we could've just gotten him to have one conversation with Charles Rhodes... he could have been SECPoY.

We need to hire CR as our Attitude Adjustment Coach.

I feel a little better with scoring but we gave up 86 points to Tn Tech. Not exactly a 'rock fight' defensive effort.

Yikes. Not sure what's the deal.

Yikes. Not sure what's the deal.

He started the game and played 31 minutes according to the box score. He also scored 5 points. Maybe they haven't got around to taking his picture, but you'd think they could have him listed on the roster and use his picture from 2022 until they get a current one.
