St Joe's 64 - Hall 59

[jklings99]

Idk what’s worse scoring only 59 points or losing to a team that lost their coach a month ago. Obviously take scrimmages with a grain of salt but this is discouraging

 

[HallLine69]

Nice work finding that info. Where'd you see it? btw, I don't put much meaning into these scrimmages...win, lose or draw.

As meaningless as beating a lower level ACC team.

i'm not overly concerned by this. We have a limited idea of how they used the roster. Now, if the first couple of games come down to last possessions, then that could be a window into the season.

Meaningless other than for the coach to see the players in competition and running the offense and defense against another team. Useful for working the kinks out.

The first 6 games on the schedule will be more meaningful indicator.

St joes also lost their 2 best players Fleming to the NBA and the pg to Oklahoma

How do you draw any conclusions from a single number.

 

[PROF Ed]

As long as a number can be considered negative there will be those who will draw conclusions

We have had two exhibitions and the only thing we know is 76 & 59. Like Sha is hiding the nuclear codes.

How many of you played a sport in high school or maybe even college?

Scrimmages are designed to help figure things out and get better. Nothing else. Getting caught up in scrimmage scores is supreme silliness. Win or lose, a score from a scrimmage is irrelevant.

 

[johns79]

If you play you want to win. Hopefully it is irrelevant that we lost, but I would have felt better if we won. Of course, real games mean more.
Still no feel for where the team is at. Jerry's first team all-new jersey had two Princeton players but not Fisher and Clark? Hmm

You’re right. The score is meaningless but that’s all the information we get. Why even note there is a scrimmage?

Not true in a scrimmage. You play to learn stuff and hopefully get better, which is how you “win” in a scrimmage.

 

[jklings99]

Scoring 59 points in a scrimmage/game/practice game is concerning.

Clark was most certainly on it. Nobody else deserves it.

 

[Halldan]

Unfortunately I no longer have access to Jerry's stories. But he absolutely raves about Clark. There is no way he wouldn't have him on the first team.

Clark was the first player listed on Jerrys top 5 players in NJ list fwiw

 

[johns79]

Jerry's NJ basketball breakdown was available for free.

 

[Halldan]

Not for me. Jerry's articles are being metered by the newspaper. Meaning some get them for free and others do not. I do not.

However, all of a sudden, today I now have access to all his articles. Not sure what is happening or why.

 

[johns79]

Glad you were able to get. Appreciate all the insights and info you guys provide. Be interesting when the games start for real.
