1) No DJ carton in the starting 5...
2) Leave it to BEast newcomers/returners to drag their game on and potentially miss the tip of the MU game... Great to have you back UConn... >:(

I asked this in another thread, curious about it.

Why play in an empty Fiserv instead of playing in the AL.  With no gate, isn't the AL far cheaper?

So ESPN orginally said Jamal and Garcia had 3s. But then changed it to two 3s for Carton. Which is it?


Jamal has subsequently banked a seperate 3.

Oso is sitting away from everyone over by the tunnel. Wonder if he's a RS?

not sure why you'd do that as everyone gets an extra covid year. But maybe?

They definitely aint big. But we got a lotta length.

Cain is all over these guards

This team LOVES going all out for blocks. Works well against Arkansas Pine Bluff. Not certain it’ll work much the rest of the season.

Team loves to move the ball its really nice.

Gotta get a little better finishing through contact as the season goes on and still some sloppy TO's. But the movement is great.
Title: Re: APB Game Thread
Post by: fjm on November 25, 2020, 09:55:36 PM
Dawson looks smooth.

Sy and DJ are so quick with their passes, the ball just doesn't stick in their hands.

Theo with the blocks, but needs to be stronger with the ball.

Good to see everyone getting run. Lewis looks great when he's not fouling someone. Frosh problems.

Post by: Frenns Liquor Depot on November 25, 2020, 09:57:14 PM
This team has more potential than others in the wojo era.  O is pretty on par with a wojo team (path to the 80s).  I think the mix of skill sets have the potential to defend much better than prior years.  Encouraging...against a cupcake...but still encouraging
Title: Re: APB Game Thread
Post by: SaveOD238 on November 25, 2020, 09:58:16 PM
6-12 from 3.  5 different players hit 3s.  Looks like we're still gonna shoot the rock, but it's going to be more spread out.  We might be more efficient from deep without Markus than we were with him.

But that FT% so far?  Not great.  We'll miss Markus at the line this year.
Title: Re: APB Game Thread
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on November 25, 2020, 09:58:33 PM
Cain is simply bigger and longer than these guys so its not a shocking hes abusing them. But I do like his aggressiveness. Hopefully he can have this motor all year vs good comp.

Posey weighs about as much as Theo’s left leg. Not a smart decision for a multitude of reasons.

I think that was an "I'm an idiot" reaction. Posey knew he screwed up, tried to pull the punch after he started the swing, and knew he'd be ejected so hid behind his fists. I felt bad for him, that was a soft ejection, even if justified.

Don't judge me...but he feels like early Jimmy. Less crafty around the hoop, but same fight for the ball
