Great defense so far. 28-16 4:35 to go.

Apparently their mascot is a bear with a tam o’ shanter

Boy Anigwe misses a lot of layups

that’s a good question; thought they were the highlanders

The ‘crowd’ shouldn’t effect things much

Nice start; 9-7 at the first media.

7’1”, 295. Not too mobile. We’ve gotten three good shots taking it right him, two made

he’s shown some nice foot work and touch on offense, gets done ticky-tack fouls on defense and just needs to get stronger. Some potential there

I had heard Rodrigues wasn’t coming back back in December but didn’t realize he was a winter grad. First I heard of Crawford.

I got my EVO newsletter which lists fall grads. On the list are Rodrigues and Carson Crawford. I wonder either or both will return?

despite the fact that i have never wagers on a sporting event, i do check the daily lines. we are six point underdogs tonight - seems right based on recent results. If Anigwe is out, we'll really be hard pressed to keep up. Our depth is thin enough to begin with.

I think with the portal and extra COVID year, many programs didn’t add as many seniors as normal. Recently they had the all area team for Mercury news. They had profiles on something like 26 Srs and around half had commitments. That seemed low

speaking of the center, I drove by Thursday before basketball game - it’s really looking like a real facility now!

another contributor or two off the bench would help. Borra is progressing but there’s not many points off the bench. Adebayo and Murphy play with energy but neither score much. DeBruhl and McGill aren’t there yet

Les sees the silver lining on the game:

The hire seemed a little odd from the get go, maybe a bit desperate. There were rumblings last season about his work ethic and the playing of his son. I guess that was the tip of the iceberg

there was an article dated Jan 21 that said 12 players. This says 28 MOST leaving in the past week! How do you replace 28 unexpected losses?

i was following via live stats (3 grandkids running around) and noticed he didn't have many minutes in the 1st half -> assumed it was foul trouble. that hurts; he's a pretty reliable scorer, even if it often takes two tries to get a layup (and brick and the tip in).

exactly; in contrast, at UOP, you could see that guys couldn’t wait to get their hands on the ball do they could put up a shot! Free throw shooting is contagious, both good and bad

biggest difference was start of second half. Thursday we got off to good start and let the 7 point lead slip away. Today we were ice cold after the break, 15-4 in the first 8 minutes. Couldn’t overcome that. Again, a DECENT percentage from the arc and line, and we win. Shooters seem to have lost their confidence.

70-63 loss. 3-18 from beyond the arc. Hit 3 more and shoot average, and we have a shot. Frustrating homestand
