Still no word on if Henderson is available but he is suited up. He wasn't for the exhibition games.

- Start date
There were more people at the exhibition games than here, excluding student section. Decent turnout for the students for a no name in the middle of football season
What's up with the Jacksonville coach? I've heard people called blue noses but this is the first time I've seen one.
Atson needs to up his game. We desperately need Wheeler's offense.
Decent rebounding, poor shooting, not great at the line and giving up tons from outside. Looks familiar. I'm impressed by the athleticism of our team though, not a plodder in the bunch. Hopefully we can make some adjustments at halftime.
Terrible 1st half. Other than Taplin, our guards look slow. Etou & Igbanu looked good. Birt & Taplin were OK. The others looked bad. We really miss Wheeler. Down 10 at the half to a 250-300 RPI level team is a shock.
I will remember how bad our old team looked vs SEOSU to remind me that one game/half doesn't mean too much.

Igbanu by far the best Freshman. TK looked like our post men last year with 2 unnecessary fouls early. JS is throwing them in with bank shots wild roll In's etc. Don't think that can continue. Birt no confidence. Henderson terrible first half. Etou leading scorer but missed a ton of free throws. We should still win with better defense.

Etou has definitely looked the part...he looks like he's a notch better the everyone else on the court.
Igbanu has a ton of energy.
Henderson resembles the description provided by WSU fans...erratic scorer who can't play D.
I'm sure the guards will improve as they mature in their career, but their lack of defensive quickness is a big problem.

Goodness gracious...the better team is definitely winning.
The JSU guards are WAY WAY quicker than TU'a.

We're going to be lucky to win 10 games this season. Talk about Haith failing to capitalize on success that we were building.
No defense. No pressure on defense. No box outs.
If the above isn't fixed quickly will struggle to win many games.

To be blunt - This is Deion James level bad. Terrible guards. Terrible.
Luckily, the big men can make threes.

They are unconscious tonight. Each of those last three shots were what you want the opponent to take and they all went in.
Throw away year for sure.... just try and win a few and try and stay competitive. Kids need to know that DEFENSE wins games at this level. I would also not play anyone who doesn't give 100% effort on D and recruit over them.
Is this worse than the Lamar home blowout? Other than the SEOSU issue, that's the worst home loss I can think of...
