Unlike skeeter I had pulled out my wallet but caught myself when I saw the prices. 5 years ago when beer was $9 I would just laugh and buy everyone a round. I would drink at least 4 myself and then go on to make more pour decisions later that night.
We talk about affordability but there is more to it than just that. Almost everyone on here who is a die hard fan can afford a night out. It's the value verse cost extrapolated over the entire season. $18 for beer when it takes me at least 2 to get a buzz going. Naw $36 is two cases of ultra or a nice bottle of Jameaux, my cozy big screen and ESPN+. Now I'd missed the great company of the Raging Rowdies but we can make up for it away games which are so much better
Lol. That is ridiculousQuote:

You really deserve a half court haymaker and Curry scream celebration. Lol.Quote:

We didn't watch the same game last night then. I thought he looked extremely soft against a very small team. He has no hands and didn't look to fight for rebounding position much at all.Quote:

He’s bad at that like most bigs we’ve had. We’ll see how he develops. I think he has potential. Just my opinion.
We had a 25 point lead at half and a 34 point lead at one point in the second half. None of our top 6 guys played more than 19 minutes. We played 12 people and 11 of them scored. Therefore, my recommendation is to draw zero conclusions from the exhibition game. That is not to say some things could not be improved upon. Rebounding being one of them. Personally, I don't think this result is a reason to panic. I would also say not to have optimism had we won by 40 plus. It is an exhibition game which is approached completely different than a regular season game. Note, both St. John's and Louisville lost exhibtion games to lower division opponents in recent days. My guess is they would have won those in the regular season. Tough to draw conclusions from that affair last night.Quote:

. . . If rebounding is the issue, adjustments can be taught . . . just block out . . . surely not much should be taken (positive or negative) from a game where all on the roster have played substantive minutes against a D2 school other than a good learning opportunity for players and coaches
When it comes to dribbling, he makes Justin Miller look like Curley Neal…Quote:
