Merrimack game thread

Diarra is doing good work out there. 11 points 3 rebounds 2 blocks and 0 fouls in 10 minutes.
 
Haven't started to watch the game, but sounds pretty awful from the gist of this thread... what's the freaking score?

Pretty sure Whaley has more than dunks in the preseason than everyone else on the team combined.
 
How can Ollie not find one guy that can consistently make a jump shot? UConn could very easily be the worst jump shooting team in the country this year.

It’s an exhibition, it means nothing. Would you guys rather have Jalen take the ball to the hoop every time and score 50 points or have him let his much less experienced teammates get more involved?

I don't think it's as much about scoring as it is about taking control and leading the team. If you look at some of the early season games Shabazz had in '13-'14 he hardly scored, but racked up assists and led the team. That's what seems to be missing.

yes
 
Ollie made the adjustment as I said that Polley and Larrier need to play together with 2 guards and a big preferably Carlton or Whaley as our most productive lineup.

The big man are doing everything they need to be, its our guards that need to step offensively and defensively this year. It starts with Jalen, way too lackadaisical and careless out there and playing way too much off the ball. He needs to get angry and play with passion and desire. Jalen hasn't exerted his will on this team on defense or offense. That is what is missing big time.

That's Alterique's job right now. Not Jalen's.

Jalen actually hasn't been on the court a lot.

Our team leader should be taking control when he's out there though. Either the leadership role hasn't been imparted upon him, or he doesn't seem to be taking it.

I'm watching the stream on my iPad (synced with tic broadcast) and it's HD compared to the PC game. No skipping or lag.

You guys did see Jalen shaking his hand in the first half right?

Right on camera he has shaking it, more than once, like he jammed a finger.
 
I like that Larrier is moving around the court well at least. Hopefully soon he can trust his leg well enough to take it strong to the hoop; he's a good dunker.
