The bus ride back won't have many people on it because half their players will probably transfer here right after the game.

Are we playing Milwaukee or Marquette?

 

[Cyientist]

D-Jax and Lewis get it going tonight against their hometown school!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Nice to have a quick turnaround to move on from the last game. Hopefully we'll be just a little more comfortable in what we're doing. I think simply going against a team without the huge size advantage will make a difference too.

Hopefully we see some better play in the lane tonight. Was painful to watch that Missouri game, regardless of how talented their freshmen are.

Will Lard see playing time tonight?

Will Lard see playing time tonight?

I think he's been ruled out for tonight. Prohm mentioned that he hoped he'd be back for the SC tourney.

 

[rholtgraves]

Really hoping to see some improvement from the team. I am curious as to who they will have running the point. It seemed Babb was best at getting people the ball. There were several times Young should have gotten the ball off of PnR situations and they didn't throw him the ball. Just want to see more cohesion on offense and defense.

 

[CTTB78]

Hopefully CSP has been working on screen plays for Jackson. We'll need them down the road.

 

[rholtgraves]

Spread is only 13.5 so the team isn't horrible. Will still have to play well to win.

Bad news/good news I suppose. Can't wait to see the kid hit the court.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Does anyone know the instructions for side-loading the .tv app on to a firetv?

 

[Beyerball]

So again no Lard or Brase..

That’s great.

 

[MartinCy]

So again no Lard or Brase..

That’s great.

Both were expected

 

[Cyclonepride]

Both were expected

Yeah, and this shouldn't be a game where we absolutely have to have him (one would think that he would have at least helped against Missouri).

 

[NorthCyd]

So Lard is a coaches decision, correct? Which means it's for disciplinary reasons? Is there any more info than that?

 

[LLCoolCY]

Good warm up game before going on the road for the tourney.
Things I'll be looking for:
1: NWB become the primary PG. He finished second half strong as the distributor. Could help D-Jax get more opportunities to spot up shoot.
2: Lewis and Long, outside shooting. Pretty appearent this is a weakness of the team, if one or both could add that threat they would become the 6 man.
3. Team Defense improvement. I felt individually the player were able to defend Missou's players pretty well Friday but, rotations and closing lanes left a lot to be desired. I am pretty sure Prohm's first priority will be to clean that up. It will be helped in the future getting Brase and Lard on the court.
