So as I was going through my spreadsheet I noticed that Incarnate Word had Northwestern on their schedule late in the year which seemed very odd. I went to the Northwestern site and sure enough they do not have Incarnate word on their schedule. I sent an email to to the Incarnate word athletic department and informed them that they had Northwestern instead of Northwestern State on their schedule and that it might need to be updated. I got an email back from them yesterday, they said thanks for the heads up and we are going to fix that. IT is now fixed.

Does anyone know of any of the "secret" scrimmages being scheduled?

 

[Bill Lowery]

Does anyone know of any of the "secret" scrimmages being scheduled?

I do, but it’s a secret. Nope.

 

[I.I.]

Think SEC....... that is a clue.....but it is a secret.......

 

[slowjogger]

Think SEC....... that is a clue.....but it is a secret.......

When is that game - “scrimmage”, scheduled? I have heard it is the last of October, but not the specific date.

 

[dlsnid]

Went to practice today Garcia as big as he is can shoot it also Barnes looked good. I am still high on Reed. Kobe looked good made some nice threes. Haggerty looks like a player.

 

[I.I.]

Same names keep showing up.

 

[dlsnid]

You are right. Reed is very strong and big body he just moves them out of the way he is raw and needs to work on his shot some more but I bet he plays quite a bit

 

[I.I.]

Starters for the exhibition game?

Cobe
P. J.
Garcia
?
?

 

[seniorgolfer]

Starters for the exhibition game?

Cobe
P. J.
Garcia
?-Mo Keita
?-Carlous Williams----------------------Very small back court...I prob. need more speed in the front court...

 

[dlsnid]

I would have Barnes starting along with the other 3 you listed I think Keita will play but not starting maybe Reed or Williams. I thought McWright and Hall shot it pretty good in last practice especially McWright

 

[astonmartin708]

Is WillIs still in a boot?

 

[Bill Lowery]

Is WillIs still in a boot?

Whachu talkin bout?

 

[astonmartin708]

Whachu talkin bout?

lol. Thats going to happen a lot this year isn’t it?

I think he will probably start or play significant minutes off the bench if healthy.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Thanks Captain Obvious

 

[I.I.]

I would have Barnes starting along with the other 3 you listed I think Keita will play but not starting maybe Reed or Williams. I thought McWright and Hall shot it pretty good in last practice especially McWright

McWright has been very impressive this fall. Much more than many expected I think. Barnes is one I am waiting on to see what he can do as he has the size and athletic ability. In an exhibition game I expect everyone to get similar minutes. I wish we could play four 12 minute quarters in the exhibition. Konkol may divide them up in various ways depending on Willis.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Willis will not play in the exhibition or scrimmage, will be re-evaluated at the start of the season.

 

[loca2874]

Love how these schools pay attention to detail. Mississippi Valley state plays at Uconn this year and on their schedule they have Connecticut with the Cincinnati logo. shameful. lol. Yes I sent an email to them like I did Incarnate Word. smh

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Willis will not play in the exhibition or scrimmage, will be re-evaluated at the start of the season.

Just wanted to remind everybody we beat LSU by 1 w/o a player that will be integral working with Kobe this year. I have a feeling it might have been a 5 or 10 pt win, if he played.(Especially with him being our best 3pt shooter)

 

[loca2874]

Apparently New Mexico St. is playing every single team in New Mexico and they might actually be playing more D2, D3 and NAIA schools than Oral Roberts. Lord jesus they have a soft schedule.

 

[GOB10]

Like I have said in my previous posts this team has a chance to be extremely special. We NEVER ever had this level of talent under Franklin Haith. Once again I will say 20+ wins and an NCAA BID!!

 

[nevadanatural]

For a bid with this schedule it needs to be 25+ and maybe a conference championship. while I want us to go to the dance I would settle for 20 wins and an NIT bid in a rebuilding year.

 

[loca2874]

 

[loca2874]

UTSA defeated Trinity Christian in the first of its two exhibition games 100-70.

Tomorrow Arkansas Baptist visits Yooler

 

[I.I.]

Lack of NCAA enforcement of anything must have allowed the secret scrimmages to leak quickly.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Lack of NCAA enforcement of anything has killed college athletics.

Courtesy of TV and Conference greed unchecked by University Presidents. Thank you OU and UGA.

 

[seniorgolfer]

Willis will not play in the exhibition or scrimmage, will be re-evaluated at the
start of the season.

It appears that Konkol is waiting for Willis' full recovery to get him cranked back
up.....If so, that's good, because coming back early doesn't always work our well..
You never know, but our first two or three games shouldn't require his presence
if he needs more healing time....

Carlous Williams had that experience last year in JC...He came back from a leg
injury for the last half of the season, and was never quite the same....His team
lost their second play off game in a very close contest that would have probably
gone the other way if he had been at full strength...They were two wins away
from being in the National JC championship tourney in Hutchinson.....

 

[seniorgolfer]

Went to practice today Garcia as big as he is can shoot it also Barnes looked good.
I am still high on Reed. Kobe looked good made some nice threes. Haggerty looks
like a player.

Congrats! You must have seen what the coaches have been seeing....That was
our starting line up....

[Bill Lowery]

Some other interesting scores. D2 Pace defeated Rick Pitino just days after St Johns defeated a very good Rutgers team.

Kentucky Wesleyan defeated Louisville.

Illinois defeated Kansas, Gonzaga over Baylor.

Tennessee beats Michigan State—poor Dougie. Maybe they played The Beach Boys for him at halftime.

Purdue outlasts Arkansas in OT in Fayettenam by 1.

Indiana State over Cincy

San Francisco over USC

BYU vs Stanford 77-72 | BYU

Clemson beat Ohio State by 20

Rutgers beat DePaul by 32

Iowa state beat northwestern by 6

So was the Illinois/Kansas game a secret scrimmage or an exhibition game that doesn't count? Same with the other D1 v D1 games listed? BTW, Tennessee is going to be very good again. Texas is probably regretting ditching Rick Barnes for going 18-12 one season.

 

[Bill Lowery]

Both were exhibition games. Don’t count on record. I know the tennessee/Michigan State game was televised by the Big10 network.

I wonder if this is going to start a trend of trying to play some elevated competition pre-season to see where you are at instead of the scrimmage vs an elevated HS team. I wouldn't be shocked if you start seeing a TU vs OU preseason game if that is the new trend.

 

[loca2874]

Gonzaga over Baylor.

San Francisco over USC

BYU vs Stanford 77-72 | BYU

Do not sleep on the Don’s or that WCC. They are a force here lately

 

[dlsnid]

When were these games played I thought nobody started playing until November 6th except exhibitions.
