Purvis will be fine, but Sam II Am is definitely better than I expected and will be a huge benefit for our backcourt depth.

hamilton sounds like a stud... sam sounds like hes going to be very solid... yes this is a friendly i know i
know

 

[Huskyhoops25]

Hamilton is a stud.

 

[Gurleyman]

I know it's early and I know we aren't anywhere near the team that we are going to be.

I'd just like to see 5 minutes where we can dominate a DII team. Just for a taste.

Did everyone else lose audio on their video feed for halftime too?

Favorite play of game so far was

yep and split screen
feed has been awful for me in 1st half

Brimah and Nolan have missed layups. Is this women's basketball?

 

[huskymagic]

As long as Hamilton, Sam Cassel Jr. and T-Sam play at a high level we will be fine. Brimah will finish more of them as we go along.

Hamilton 9 points, 7 boards, and three assists early in the 2nd half. Game looks effortless.

Hamilton is our best and most talented player. I am concerned by the way we are playing for the second game against a D-2 team and we are only up 42-38 with 13 minutes to go and Assumption is out-rebounding us. Our bigs need to play better, Purvis needs to come off the bench for Cassel Jr.

Love, love, love Hamilton's game. That drive and dish over the top he keeps doing. Finally someone who can get the ball to the bigs for the easy flush. Who said he can't pass? Good who?

Also, the fast break....gets the rebound, immediately puts it on the floor, dribbles to half court and finds the open man. Kid can do it all. I'd say wait and see if he can keep up with D1 competition, but the kid has been playing NBA competition for some time now.

Need to cut down on the t/o.

 

[Huskyhoops25]

Finally getting the break going. It helps that Hamilton can grab the rebound, dribble out and the guards are filling the lanes.

Daniel Hamilton can potentially be a 6-8 PG. I mean I hope we keep him more than 1 year. By the end of the year--when Amida realizes he cant get 2 foul within 2 minutes---Boatright Cassell Hamitlon etc.. will be nasty

Meh, it's been all Purvis (5) and Brimah (3). Nobody else has more than one.

Speaking of which, 6' freakin 7" DHam has 6 assists and zero turnovers. Wow.

Holy . Let's tone down the early judgements.

How has Facey looked in these two games?

 

[Huskyhoops25]

Hamilton's rebounding is what impresses me thus far.

 

[huskymagic]

How has Facey looked in these two games?

Slightly better than Nolan. Great athlete but can't create his own shot and doesn't have an offensive game. He can finish lobs and dunks well which is a positive.

 

[ASweet3781]

How has Facey looked in these two games?

Good rebounding. But UConn is playing 4 on 5 on offense with him in there. He blends into the floor on offense.

 

[Matrim55]

Well, that's something if he offers rim protection and a bit of finishing. Still hoping he can knockdown 18-footers on spot-ups in order to spread the court a little bit.

I suspect this team is going to play ugly basketball until mid-January.

Had one nice wide open swish 14'. Front court needs a lot of work if Brimah is going to play less than 20 mins. D-Ham stepping up for the rebounds.
