That was an absolutely embarrassing turnout by the students, good gosh. Didn't even come close to filling the arena circle, wow.

He should have taken about 5 more 3Ps. If he’s going to shoot a lot, I’d rather him take the open 3 over driving into traffic. Particularly when he’s hitting like in the second half.
Good game for him to work on other things

Yeah, great thought, but he’s 0-13.

What you described is no where near what Beverly is. Teams are not going to defend him out there regardless of how many times he shoots it. It’s likely there’s nothing they want more.
Well he did shoot 41% from 3 at aTm Corpus Chrisit four years ago :D

I get confused with air conditioning. If someone says to turn the air up, does that mean turn the temp up so it’s not as cold or turn the power up to make it colder?
We had to coach some of our employees that when calling for heat or air conditioning they needed to simply say, "raise the temperature" or "lower the temperature" because it was becoming a comedy of errors.

I get confused by "dress warm". Does that mean less clothes because it is warm outside, or more clothes to stay warm in cold weather?
You'll know if you got it wrong as soon as you step outside.

By the way, "dress warm" means put on something that will keep you warm.

DJ is a senior and as you saw against Alcorn St, won’t be a driver during his time at ISU. With conference play a couple games away, at this point the team benefits just as much from him playing how we’ll play going forward.

Well he did shoot 41% from 3 at aTm Corpus Chrisit four years ago :D
He made 19 3Ps that year in the Southland. He’s now a 26.5% career 3P shooter :eek: He could go 3 for 3 next game and one of most preferred outcomes for the opposition would still be to have Beverly shoot 3Ps.

You mean they're not? You sure?

I won't be able to find it, but back when I was in college there was a thread basically saying the student section was too soft and we needed more rowdy alcoholics in the crowd. Or something like that :confused:

It was a cupcake opponent on a Sunday afternoon with finals week looming. I'm not sure what you expected.

Uh, probably just expected more than the 100 students out of our 36,000 on campus to at least fill the bottom 1/4 of their seats? I must have missed the announcement coming out of the ISU campus this year stating that they were going to be administering exams on Sunday afternoon.

I understand that the game is going to have a substantial drop in attendance, just was a little taken a back at how drastic it was. Way more than past years' games against "cupcakes on Sunday afternoons." Carry on, not trying to start a big rag on the students.

Naz showed he had the ability long before 8 games into his senior year. Very poor comparison imo.
