Weren't we supposed to get 93 points? What the hell?
 
Here in section 221. Hope tonight is enough to stop any lubin is Adrien 2.0 threads for a few weeks.
 
Tonight is not enough to do anything except enjoy the fact there is finally a game to enjoy.

65-56 good guys. 4 minutes left I think.

That's the first thing you can think of from watching that game?:rolleyes:

It's going to take time for these guys to learn to play together but there were a few good things tonight.
SCJ looks like he has a high BB IQ and has a pretty sweet jump shot.
Dan Hurley is smooth- he did not look like he was trying to score but I think he could have had 15 + points if he was looking to score more.
Boat had 20 points. Made a few early season mistakes but over all played under control- had a few runs where his shot was going down.
AB looks much better on O- added a jump hook- hit a nice 15 JS.
RP had a quite game but showed some speed and ability to get to the basket.
T Sam looked about the same as the end of the season- which means pretty good- seems to have picked up where he left off.

Phil- still seemed to have trouble finishing shots- it's early but he might be going strait to the gym after the game.

First thing, no. Just glad those posts will stop.

Hamilton looked good. Potential to be really special. Cassell looked solid. Nice looking shot and fearless to shoot. I was wondering where our three point shooting would come from this year and looks like he will be a big part of the answer

Biggest thing from Brimah was that he did great job getting into good rebounding position and boxing out. I know only southern but still nice to see the improvemt.
 
High points. Sam Jr. looked real good and DHam loves to rebound. Terrance looked tough as always. Rodney looked very rusty, but he will be fine in a few weeks.

First games are always a struggle: new players, etc. but I really like Sam Jr. a lot. He can handle the ball , doesn't force things and is a crisp passer. It helps to have a second PG on the floor especially if he can shoot and Sam proved tonight that he can. The kid just looks in control and plays within himself.
The rust showed on Purvis and he'll make more of his shots attacking the rim as the season moves on. He is a terrific athlete. That said, he does not look like he has the instincts or skills of a PG right now. Maybe that will come latter.
I'm really excited about Hamilton. He can play the 2 and 3 and 4 in an emergency. He seems to get himself in the middle of the action. He has a beautiful stroke. Not sure why but he reminded me of Ray as Freshman. We landed a stud in Hamilton and by the end of the season he may turn out to be our leading scorer.
Brimah, Facey and Nolan pretty much looked like the same players as last year but it good to see Brimah take and make an outside shot.
It was only one exhibition game but last I looked we had 20 turnovers and some of these were unforced. KO will be addressing this in practice. The pieces will fit better as they play more games together. This team has the potential to be very good.
 
Missed the game - I really could use a super long post from the champs99 guy (can never remember his handle).
Box score questions:g

Facey had 9 boards in 18 minutes. Was he that kick butt?
Brimah had a lot of fouls. Ticky tack? Correctable?
It's going to be tough getting used to human free throw shooting numbers.
DHam was 2 of 7 from field, otherwise had very nice numbers. Don't really care about makes/misses, but please tell me - was his shot selection good?
Did we press at all?
Did we push the break much?
How did Rock look in the few minutes he played? His rebounding rate was even better than Facey.
 
I think Phil will be fine. Had one lay up rim out where he made a nice post move when the defender took away one side he spun out to the other and he took some nice charges and rebounded well. Im more concerned about Facey and Purvis on offense. Purvis looked really stiff, jump shot was just awful. Im sure some of it was rust though. Facey is timid and stagnant on offense, we need production from the 4. Also, without space T-Sam struggles, if he doesn't get fouled he throws up some bad shots in traffic. He also needs to develop some sort of jump shot and needs to work on his left.

How about sam jr though! Kid looked amazing. Great tempo. Sweet jumper. Nice passer.

Facey had 9 boards in 18 minutes. Was he that kick butt? - Yea he looked great on boards and on defense. Offensively hes light years away.
Brimah had a lot of fouls. Ticky tack? Correctable? - A couple were ticky tack. Some were the same as what we saw last year.

DHam was 2 of 7 from field, otherwise had very nice numbers. Don't really care about makes/misses, but please tell me - was his shot selection good? - Shot selection was fine. He was the best player on the court for the first 7-8 minutes then kind disappeared for a while. Looked really good though his handle is way better than I thought. He could easily play the 2 for us.
Did we press at all? - We started pressing late when we went small with D-Ham at the 4. Forced a bunch of turnovers. Closed out the game.
Did we push the break much? - Not as much as I would have thought. Towards the end when we were pressing we got some easy baskets/got fouled on the break when they became tired and turned the ball over.
How did Rock look in the few minutes he played? His rebounding rate was even better than Facey. - he can rebound and moved better than I thought but besides rebounding didn't show much

Honestly, CCSU seemed weak on the boards. Facey attacks the ball well, but he hardly stood out.

I think two of Brimah's fouls were non-shooting, one seemed to be questionable.

Hamilton showed serious restraint more than anything when it came to shooting. I was hoping he'd try and shoot it a bit more to be honest.

No real press at all. They pushed the ball in spurts, Hamilton really likes to push it. Boatright seems to have taken the Shabazz approach of slowing it down a little.

I thought Lubin played well in the first half when he was in. He had a nice face-up drive in the second half that he got fouled on.

Facey. Mostly garbage boards. Box score over sells

Brah. Sme bs fouls looked good overall.

Dham. Great looks a few bad rolls or bounces on some of the misses. Was incredible getting off his shot in traffic. Like an early Ray.

No press. Some fast break but sloppy as expected.

Rock looked slow and a little out of his league. To be expected. Mostly garbage boards, stats look better than he did.
