Basketball game Monday vs. UT Tyler

I like the youth on this team. The 7 freshmen played mostly in control. I prefer the fast pace game we will go to this year. Plus we’re not so dependent on one player.

Get used to the yoots. Not a senior on the roster.

Big difference.

. . . just happened to be familiar with Louisiana Christian . . . they played in the same D3 conference that one of my son’s played in before changing its name from Louisiana College to Louisiana Christian and moving from D3 to NAIA a couple years ago . . .

School not allowed to share details of closed scrimmage. Listen to the pod Jay did with Coach Marlin. He has a couple of comments about it. I know info has broken on some of these throughout the country. Some people may get in trouble with the NCAA over this.

The school is not allowed but others know about it. Nobody will get in trouble with the ncaa over this.

None available, exhibition game. Even checked the mothership.

Side note, anyone catch Flavor Flav doing the National Anthem at the Bucks game? My goodness, proud of the effort, but rough.

You may be right about the NCAA not doing much as a result of closed scrimmage information becoming public. It is an NCAA rule however that information from these is not to be made public. However people in the press who leaked things may get some privileges revoked. Any fans who are aware of what went on generally will not say anything as it is understood things of this nature they learn is to remain confidential. Team may have gained more from a second closed scrimmage vs an exhibition. Contrast to that is a dress rehearsal for a regular game may have benefit. Things like the pregame routine for young guys can be a learning experience. Also, everyone healthy gets to play against outside competition and getting that on film can help the coaches have teachable moments

I guess that's the opposite of limp D...

By the way prices of dome foam have gone up again. $18 for a large(32oz) domestic and $14 for a regular(24oz).

It was also $12 for a medium Dr Pepper and small popcorn.

It gets more and more ridiculous by the year.

Damn that is ridiculous. And they wonder why families can't afford to attend games. They are out pricing the average family.

I suppose they will learn when no one buys anymore. I went once last night.

Well, one thing new is the setup in the NEZ area. As advertised, bleachers are retracted and it is now set up with tables and food for fans that make the appropriate donations.

I cannot remember the last time I’ve bought food at the dome. Was sitting there last night looking at the crowd. I know it was an exhibition.

Seems sports at the non power schools are craving for in person fans. It’s not on Marlin. If you think that, then it’s on Dez at CF. We could get the second coming of John Wooden as a coach, it won’t matter. Look what CBN did and never averaged what Hud did.

It’s the two fold problem, the cost of attending is getting worse each year. The other, the availability of the product on line/tv.

What Mullet paid for a DP and popcorn…try that with a family of 4. Every game. That’s the problem. 14 games, that’s knocking on 900 to 1,000. Personally, I have other things that need that 1k.

Hiring a favorite son…naw, look across the street at CF. It’s the fan’s pocketbook driving the decline.

Woof, looks like it is going to be a long year. These are the types of games we should win 100-40.

We were up by 30-40 for a lot of the game. This team is extremely young but very talented. Starters did not play much but team actually started to pull away even more with younger guys in. Got kinda sloppy halfway through the second half as Tyler started pressing more. These types of exhibitions are what help the younger players get into a rhythm. Youngstown st will be a tough test but I’m sure our players mind frames will be much different come that game. You could tell marlin was not very pleased towards the end of the game and he let the team know at one time out.

Tyler had good speed but when we cranked up on defense we were faster. I was surprised at how well Giovanni played. Good defense hustle and passing. Themus has stepped up his game and Kobe was steady. And no brace. Garnet and Charles played well on defense but missed some open shots. Big man has good feet. Not much air space under his shoes when he jumps. FTs looked good. Overall OK. Still lots of work. As others said slow start. St one point up by almost forty and then sloppy.
Next week we’ll see

You may not see us work the ball inside a whole lot this year. It looks like we may have become a transition and shooting team. Without Lewis and of course JB there, we will not have the same talent inside.

I'm very very concerned about rebounding after watching the game last night. London Fields and Hardy will play alot and play well. Hosana looks way worse than I thought he would be. Not sure he is even a serviceable big in the sun belt.

I liked the look of the youngsters, but last night didn't leave me with a good feeling about this year. Offense looks exactly the same. Dribble drive with 4 players standing around the perimeter, very little movement without the ball. They're gonna win or lose with their 3 points shooting. We'll see.
I know one thing, I won't be buying much beer this year. I ordered my 32 oz before looking up at the prices. All I could do was laugh. No wonder nobody was in line besides me.
