Secret Scrimmage

[lange10]

Any idea how Carlton played?

12 and 7 according to Gavin Keefe.

Nice showing from Whaley

 

[Rico444]

Wheres it say that? Am i missing something? Maybe ignored a poster by accident? I've done that before to @BFieldHusky

Yeah I quoted another poster that said Vital was efficient. I wouldn't call it an awful day by any stretch, but 41% doesn't really scream "efficiency" to me either.

That’s encouraging. If Whaley performs like that than our front court becomes a positive for us. With Bouk out and looking at a possible extended suspension our situation on the wing becomes the biggest question mark with Sid the only true wing available.

I meant where are you getting the 41%. Only tweet I see doesn't say vital's shooting %

From here, don't think it was posted in the thread

I don't expect James to have an extended suspension.

 

[husky429]

Looks like rique had 5 assists too.

Carlton had 12 pts 7 boards

Akok 6 pts 4 board 1 steal 1 block

 

[Shine33]

Dont be a about the other perspective. I’m putting the ball in Alterique’s hands at the end of the game.

 

[strivefor5]

any word on how sid played

 

[intlzncster]

A few days ago someone said Jalen was returning this weekend.

Probably to practice first. Not game conditions. Just a guess mind you

 

[UconnU]

That’s the point I was trying to make. He wasn’t back in time for the scrimmage.

 

[UconnU]

Matchup dependent but if we’re going to be starting Polley and Akok together we will probably be playing a lot of zone I imagine.

 

[Shine33]

Not even close? Okay dude. Let us see what happens this season.

 

[intlzncster]

Yes he's a good player. But it's really hard to call someone 'the best player' when they cannot create their own shot.

On a good team, maybe. But nobody on this team can create their own shot and that's the biggest issue

 

[StepbackCity]

Friendly reminder that this was a scrimmage

 

[AntG168]

Friendly reminder that this was a scrimmage

It’s still the closest thing we’re going to get to try and predict this teams season. It’s a decent indicator

 

[auror]

This pleases me.

 

[rayrayfor3]

We won a game against a respectable opponent without any backup PG. I’ll take it

 

[Durks07]

They gave up 80 to a Harvard team without Seth Towns, not exactly the defensive showing I was expecting after reading posts like this.

Thank god we have you here! What a welcome addition to the yard.

 

[Huskyforlife]

You must think we're winning 10 games.

Sorry soxfan. My source told me they won. I also heard good defense but my source has been leaning NYT lately and isn’t always reliable. I try not to leak anything for that reason. Let’s hope for a good year with good defense ha

I get you theoretical intention. But Hurley is not going to be playing much zone defense if any.
