Let's go now! Get out of the gates quickly and start the season off strong.
Three Woj recruits in the starting five. Thanks Woj!
Not sure about that walk by OMP.
OSO!! Tremendous drive!
Smoooottthhh by Jones
Oso wide open there. No need for the one handed fling pass.
Not smooth by Jones
Curious to see the opportunities for Sean Jones and Chase Ross.
A couple of sloppy turns but the offensive looks pretty sharp. We're also doing a nice job on the d-glass.
Interesting to see the start for Stevie.
Stevie looked exhausted haha.
Good to get the conditioning up early!
No commercials on Fox Sports app? Nice, very nice. I would have thought I'd be seeing 4 political commercials during every break
We stink
Holy crap, I thought for a second Justin Lewis was in the game
No foul there on ZW??
No Sean Jones?
Bam
Bam
Bam
Nice for TK to get three freebies.
Fouling a 3pt shooter? I thought that was only an MU thing
Joplin's been in for like 3 minutes and hasn't shot yet.
Jones squared on the floor.

Rowdy is sad he is forgotten so soon
Kolek looked like a shortstop from 1913 as he jogged to the bench
Kam!!

Way too nonchalant by Joplin there. This isn't a Sunday afternoon stroll. Smh.

That certainly wasn't a Giannis Euro Step
Needed to hit the trailer there.
Nice steal by Jop.
But trying to do a fast break sidestep at turtle speed wont work in the BE. Heck didnt work vs Radford.
Radford isnt the best judge due to not much size/guys down low but we are closing out and rebound well on all their long jumpers.
Quote from: avid1010 on November 07, 2022, 07:58:15 PM
He wasn't...but it was weak.
Well, that's fair. Euro step to avoid the defender and got swatted.
A few early nerves.
Kam looks much better off the dribble. But we need more paint attacks and crisper ball movement.
OOOOOOOOso
Wow. Sean Jones can accelerate. Just a few early nerves.
YUCK!
Blown layups all over the place.
jones has a LONG way to go.
We're in midseason form in regards to missed layups. :)
Let's see what Gold's got
Blowing the fast breaks right now. But creating the opportunities.
Also, will have to see how Oso holds up playing major minutes vs BE bodies, but hes gonna be an absolute menace against these cupcakes.
His length and athleticism is crazy
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on November 07, 2022, 08:03:59 PM
YUCK!
Blown layups all over the place.
Gotta finish but I think we'll be alright.
Feels like Jones #2 just needs to see a ball go through the hoop then he could settle down
I guess Gold isn't bashful.
Kam in some bigtime discomfort.
Jarred his back on that collision.
Ughhh. Crazy butterfingers.
Chill pills for everyone in white uniforms
We're definitely over dribbling. Move the freaking rock.
How can a professional ref fall for that flop?
Time to push this out.
That was a weak call on TK
Blocking an alleyoop pass. You don't see that everyday
Oso with a very solid half.
You can see how this team very well could play 10 deep. Oso fantastic. Rebounding looks good for the team. Though Ben Gold showed some burst/explosion on the missed drive, and played pretty good defensively. Sean Jones will be a menace on D. A lot of talent on this team.
Joey Hauser 18 pts, 10 boards for MSU (starter)
Greg Elliott 11 pts, 3 boards for Pitt (starter)
Not watching -- is Wrightsill playing?
Sean Jones is a muscle hamster
Jones2 needs to work on his lobs

What does that have to do with this game?
SJ needs to work on his Oop tossing.
And Omax needs to stop the slop fest
Finally made a shot in the paint. Let's go now.

Jimmy Butler currently has 10 with 4 assists and 3 boards at the half.
Out of control with no Kolek or Sean Jones in the game.

Not really. He played like 2 minutes.
Umm, wasn't that inbounds pass by Redford after Omax dunk from about 3' inside the baseline?
Transition offense is a bit out of control but I see a little of positives.. Gotta finish in the paint and just slow down in general a touch.
Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 07, 2022, 08:24:34 PM

Butch hasn't posted in Facebook for a couple of hours
Good grief. WTF was that??
Way too early takes:
Oso is going to be real good. Can't teach that athleticism.
Stevie is going to be real good. Can't teach that motor.
Jop ain't got it.*
*Hope this doesn't age well.

We should have hired Rick Pitino instead of Bob Dukiet
As expected it's a close game at half. Probably will carry through to the mid to late 2nd half as well.
Some valuable minutes there at the end of the half with Kolek and Oso on the pine with 2 fouls a piece. Going to need someone to step up in that spot in the future.

You're trying way too hard to push this narrative that Radford is a scary team. Marquette is on pace to win by 16.
Hold on. Creighton is up 1 on St. Thomas at half???

So a team that finished 50th at KenPom last year returned everyone and added a solid mid major transfer and they aren't a top 5 team? Shocking!

You're heavily misreading the situation. I don't think Radford is scary at all. They are just somewhat competent and that's all you need to stay in a game 1 of a season.
Nerves, jitters, uncertainty. A lot of unknowns.
St Thomas is tricky.
Tied with 13 minutes left. Is St. Thomas Div 1?
Total flop.
Who started the talk about Joplin being a great scorer this season?

Yes. And their fan base claims they are in line for a BEast invite...
And honestly, we should offer one after this showing. They have a top 60 recruiting class for their small school...
Let's remove DePaul.
Prosper and Mitchell D has been great.
Beautiful slip and flush from Oso. We really need that kid on the floor.
Points off turns is the only reason Radford is in this game. We're a bit out of control off the bounce and over dribbling. Move the ball when help comes.
Oso with 3 fouls is no bueno.
Full slop since he left.
Wrightsil wildly drives and kicks and then SJ wildly dribbles. Gotta relax a bit in half court at least.

Yes. We're playing a click too fast imo.
No Keeyan yet?
Wrightsil is giving me some early Perez vibes.
Ughhh. Find #3.
Gotta get Oso back on the floor.
Hey look. A 1 possession game late.
I'd like to take back my snarky comment about Creighton being tied with a no name team
Brutal. SJ needs to ride pine hes not slowing down.
Gonna have to just play Oso with foul trouble cause we look terrible without him
Our passing in general, other than Kolek, has not been particularly good. Especially off the bounce. Time to wake up!
Omg!! FOCUS!!
Man....Oliver has to finish that. Let's go now!
I was really looking forward to seeing a much improved Joplin. Bummer that didn't happen tonight
Chase Ross looks like hes gonna play.
Hes the by far the most in control of the SJ/Gold/Ross/Jop/Wrightsil bench group.

They called him Koehler earlier. NIL options?
Ross could be the answer!!
Not worried about Joplin.
He's the kind of guy that just needs to see 1 go through. If he's rebounding and defending he'll be fine.
Kolek and Oso have their hands ALL over this one.
Stevie!!
TK didnt forget how to drop dimes over the off season.
Kolek looked like he was passing that to Oso before the pass got to himself
Nice response, fellas.
I've been impressed with Mitchell tonight
That's it!! ATTACK with POWER!!
Love watching Kolek control the game like this.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 07, 2022, 09:15:45 PM

Only two exclamation points?
That drive by OMP is what I would like to see with more regularity when he has open space. No soft finishes.
Very impressed with the closing power.
Kolek and Oso leaving no doubt. Ross and Stevie might be opposite handed twins.
It would be pretty cool to have a photo from your first college game like this
Ross shooting stroke looks pretty solid
11 is dropping dimes all over the place!!
Different team without Oso on thr floor.
I preferred the 5 minute stretch from about 3 minutes ago
Not having Jones shoot is giving me flashbacks to Packer games not having Jones run the ball
3 possession game.
no buneo
Brutal four mins to put it mildly.
This is an abysmal finish.
Everything changed when OSO went out and theres been no rhythm since
Definitely a lot of positives, but I sure would have liked the guys to use this game to be hyper disciplined and lay it on Radford. TK and his one handed passes drive me absolutely crazy, I hope his positives aren't fools gold. Poor discipline to close the game after a killer stretch, hoping experience will help.
Damn, this MU group doesn't look like a Final Four team

Also our entire h-c offense cannot be Kolek creating off the dribble. More ball movement, paint touches, better discipline and control of the rock, and all of our guards understanding how to pass off the bounce.

This right here. That kid is smooth. Joplin had a rough game - game seemed a bit too fast for him. He's got a slow wind up on his jumper - form is great, but man his release is slow. Sean Jones had first game nerves and will be better.
Kam got banged up and sat for a long period in the 2nd. Would have helped to have his scoring.
Need someone to step up in place of Oso while he rests. Otherwise, the rest was really solid.
What should be our non-Oso line-up?

Kolek

Joplin
OMax
Wrightsil
The size and scoring goes up going from 3 guards to 2 guards to cover while Oso gets a breather.
I think that lineup can work.

I was leaning:

I certainly wouldn't sit Stevie and almost wonder if we could play 4 smalls with O-Max?

Yep. Said I was curious to see how they would play ND. This is what I thought would happen.
Game on ACCN. Radford up by 7
Radford will prove a decent W, when it's all over. Good team.
