This is a weird one. I already know we lose…..Stupid ESPN app showed me the score.
Great pass from Turner to Ayers. Both doing what they do best.
Towns with a nice shot from the elbow.
Towns just fought for the board. He is a very solid contributor. I’d like to see Agee with Turner or Towns as much as possible because Turner and Towns are just secondary pieces but both are nice compliments.
Curtis with a great pass to Towns (4)
We cannot guard teams who shoot threes well.
Great job doing the 2nd pass and 3rd pass and Turner knocks down the 3.
Curtis with a bad shot but the 3 lands.
5 minutes in and we are up by 5 and clearly can play with this team but we lose by 10? No idea how this is possible.
2 turnovers by Metheny already
Interesting that they put in Lightfoot with Metheny. Don’t hate it.
1 FT by Lightfoot
Agee called on a weird charge.
Ayers with the full court runner.
Terrible shot by Curtis
Agee is getting fouled a ton and no calls.
We look tired already. Depth is thin on this team despite actually using all the scholarships
Agee called on another charge where he was undercut. He has 2 fouls and neither were really on him. I wonder if he talks so much that the refs don’t give him the benefit of the doubt.
We are allowing tons of wide open threes.
Lightfoot-Elsasser-Towns-Mills-Curtis
Who is playing PF here? We have a ton of big men. We have to be able to find a 2nd guy to contribute.
Lightfoot cans a 3
Lightfoot heat check. Another bad shot. He might have the Curtis bug.
19-14. If I had to guess we lose because we get tired and they go on a big run because we can’t score with Ayers and Agee out.
Metheny with a nice save to Towns who hits.
Elsasser blows the fast break layup then gives up a 3 on the other side. This can’t be real life.
Why are we doubling the post with a team that shoots lights out from 3?
I am baffled by what defense we are running. At one point I thought zone but then Elsasser went from the right wing to the left post.
I just saw our coaches drawing up a play! We do have plays
Mills cans a 3 after a great Turner pass.
O;Neal is in.
24-22
19/20 I can tell whether or not we are going to score based on our footwork when shooting
Oneal should be getting the 5th big minutes, he has great offense in the post.
Our D is bad. We double at weird times and don’t hustle off the double.
Turner drills a 3.
34-31. Bad Guys. Lightfoot-Turner-Ayers-Oneal-Curtis
Turner gets the push off
Lightfoot is lightning quick
All 3 FTs for lightfoot after he is fouled on a dumb 3
So far….again we have the pieces. Their team is pretty good actually. Can shoot and has athletes. We seem messy. Ayers had 3 points on just a few shots. This should be a winnable game.
If we just go off minutes in this game and think about where this team is going. Lets say…just for fun a new coach comes in next year….He can win immediately. I am not just being dumb here. The hardest thing for a team to find is big men and PGs. We are going to have our starting PF and C next year no matter who it is and I would gamble they are the best PF/C duo in the MAC. Then you will have 2 capable Guards. By the end of the year I think Lightfoot settles in and Metheny is Metheny which is fine. Filling out your roster will be McComb and Felt who are unknowns but at best probably rotational guys. You will have 6 scholarships to give…maybe…who really knows because of Covid but lets say 6. It would be hard to fathom new coach couldn’t sell Xfer scorer on the idea of playing SG or SF on a team with 2 SR bigs and seasoned PGs. Essentially can say, you will be the centerpiece of the offense.
Minutes tonight for returners
1 Metheny 32-SO
2 Lightfoot 14-FR
3 McComb 8-FR
4 Agee 14-JR
5 Towns 24-JR
2nd half.
We seem board.
Metheny with a great shot.
41-36 bad guys with 18 minutes to go. At this point some how we only score 21 more points.
Curtis just let a guy take an easy layup…He frustrates me
I want this game to be over.
Dunk by Towns….what was going on with him at OU?
Curtis just took it to the hole and it was him vs 3 SIU peeps
Dunk by Towns number 2. We somehow score about a point a minute to close out this game
How bad is Mills? He just seems like h’s doing nothing or out of control. He averaged 13 at Binghamton
Running the floor is Turners middle name
Turner scored. 45-53 now.
McCombs 2 boards.
We look defeated and tired.
Brad Wozniak even sounds tired
We have 8:14 left and I am bored out of my mind
Agee nailed a 3 off a great Agee pass.
I’d start Agee and Towns. Turner is great but his energy is much better off the bench
Its 51-61 with 6:12 to go and we look like we are down by 40.
4 losses in a row.
LETS GO FALCONS IN THE BOWL GAME!
At this point we have 7 players that need to play
1 Metheny-Lightfoot
2 Curtis
3 Ayers
4 Turner-Agee
5 Towns
Then you have a mess of guys who haven’t proven they should have a role yet.
Mills-O’Neal-McComb-Diarra-Elsasser-Etim-Felt
If there are any serious injuries we are toast.
That group of 7 includes
1. A guy who averaged 13 in D1
2. A guy who can score in the post well
3. A guy who averaged 26 as a SR and 23 as a Prep
4. A 6-10 guy who had a rebound a minute in exhibitions
5. No one knows what Etim is
6. Felt who we all want to see but might have some knee injury that no one really knows about.
If you can find 2-3 more rotational players from that 7….that’s a decent team.
