[TU 1978]

Haywood starting?

 

[TU 1978]

And Shumate in the game.

 

[I.I.]

Haywood looks confused. Not playing defense either.

 

[I.I.]

That’s what he was looking for!

 

[Loca5174]

Weird trying to work and watch this game at the same time

 

[nevadanatural]

Is the board slow for others or is it just me?

 

[Loca5174]

The government is slowing down the internet

 

[I.I.]

Shumate needs a lot of playing time.

 

[nevadanatural]

Shumate looking good, he just needs to add a little beef to hold his ground down low.

 

[TU4ever2]

Anyone explain to me a logical reason why Haywood is seeing any court time ever? He was both TU turnovers. His defense has been terrible Morman's open three twice was on him. The post entries have come from his player. The last bucket came because he was absolutely clueless.

There is no reason he sees time and Urbanic, Shumate, etc sit the bench.

 

[TU 1978]

Finally Jackson in the game.

 

[nevadanatural]

Well, I was wrong Idowu is in.

Only good thing about having to take time off is I get to choose when pretty much.

 

[TU 1978]

Having the camera at one end of the floor is low budget and weird.

 

[TU4ever2]

KES missing, but he looks like a completely different player. Active on offense and defense, some blocks outs.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’ve erased most of the early deficit.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Good to see Idowu playing.

 

[TU4ever2]

Ok Haith I see you. The Haywood decision is baffling but I like this attitude with the subs. This is clearly a they who listen/work play game.

I expect this challange to do some separating on who is hungry and who is not. KES appears to be hungry. Shumate is starving.

 

[nevadanatural]

I’m sure others will disagree but if we meet Houston in the conference tournament I would like to see Shumate get real time minutes. Houston doesn’t do a lot of big body clearouts inside and I think he could help with rebounding.

Having the camera at one end of the floor is low budget and weird.

This is the first season where the schools are really responsible for this, with covid I doubt they tried to do much. Next year I expect a couple schools to make changes (also the production minimum is covered in our contract).

 

[TU 1978]

Looks like the old Nolan style uniforms.

 

[nevadanatural]

We are not handling the ball well.

 

[TU4ever2]

As soon as I talk about him KES just decides he isn't interested.

 

[TU 1978]

Waiting for Haith to put in our better players.

 

[TU4ever2]

We are not handling the ball well.

Haywood and KES are responsible for almost every turn over we have.

 

[TU 1978]

Do we have players that are under the weather or injured? Frank’s psycho sub patterns are frustrating.

 

[nevadanatural]

We just can’t hit anything.

 

[TU4ever2]

Jackson off a little bit.

Schumate with some good play, although he lucked a bit drawing that charge.

 

[I.I.]

Not playing with a lot of energy yet. KES just going through the motions. Still early but have to give them only one shot and really play defense.

 

[TU4ever2]

Idowu is on a sore knee which makes our big rotation and therefore our four guard set weird. With Joiner in foul trouble our entire guard line up is tilted to cover ball handling.

Some of it is weird because of that. It's also clear Schumate has earned some more playing time and is getting some of the forward rotation. Earley is getting some time there as well because of the Idowu being sore.

 

[TU4ever2]

He started out aggressive and trying to make plays, had a couple nice early drives, that dump pass to the post that got us a basket and a couple rebounds. Then just went straight backwards.

 

[nevadanatural]

Looked a lot like a flop to me.

 

[TU4ever2]

Haywood makes a post pass entry tough for the first time today. Jackson with a borderline foul.

 

[nevadanatural]

Getting the home whistle now.

 

[TU 1978]

Haven’t seen Earley in the game. When was he in?

 

[I.I.]

Get your best players the ball where they can score. Need to defend a lot better.

 

[nevadanatural]

Will we be able to come back from 15 down on the road?

 

[I.I.]

Haven’t seen Earley in the game. When was he in?

Got pushed in the back by Forrester and Haith pulled him immediately.

 

[nevadanatural]

Haven’t seen Earley in the game. When was he in?

He was in the first round of subs then replaced by Shumate the next round.

 

[drboobay]

Where has Joiner been the past 10 minutes???
