[loca2874]

8-4 start

 

[I.I.]

Zone offense.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Sloppy passing and not great D.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Reed for 3!

 

[Weatherdemon]

Reed on the shove

 

[loca2874]

Archie is just something else.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Reed spilts the double team with the bucket and the foul!
And yea, Archie. Damn!

 

[I.I.]

Completely different look against the zone. Glad a weaker team is using it so we can get practice.

 

[I.I.]

Defense should be better.

 

[t-townpod]

Still would like someone to run +/- with archie

 

[Weatherdemon]

Gracia worked the zone inside the got 3 outside. Love to see that. Need to keep working that zone offense though.
We had a few possessions of stand around and pass then panic.

 

[I.I.]

Barnes gets my most improved shooter award.

 

[I.I.]

Glad to see McWright get extra playing time.

 

[I.I.]

Mo really struggling. But getting lots of pt.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Everything good overall except turnovers and defense. They’re running their slow offense but blowing past us for good looks.

 

[I.I.]

Archie playing with tape on shooting hand.

 

[nevadanatural]

Not a bad first half. A big difference between this years team and last year’s, the second group can come in and increase the lead rather than let it slip away.

 

[loca2874]

71 percent from the field and 80 percent from 3

 

[loca2874]

When MVSU played gonzaga the half time score was 38-18. Think we are doing well.

 

[nevadanatural]

Matt Reed has a lot of talent and potential but he has to improve those hands. He’s been on the receiving end of a couple of great passes, including that one by McWright, and fumbled them.

 

[loca2874]

JAred Hall after that

 

[loca2874]

TU scoring drought at 2:14

 

[loca2874]

Our last field goal was at 13:35

 

[loca2874]

ended that

 

[drboobay]

Looking at the stats we should be further ahead.

Giving up too many rebounds again this half.

 

[nevadanatural]

If we can hang on to Archie and some of these other youngsters we might get some showtime in a couple of years.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Very cool that everyone who has played has scored.
Very sloppy 2nd half though but, with a lot of guys playing.

We were up on the boards at half 13-8 but we’re now down 24-20.

 

[mmckell]

I feel freshman take forever to figure things out, but Jared Hall is definitely improving.

 

[nevadanatural]

As predicted, 4:39 we see Ari come in, will we see Radford?

 

[TULSARISING]

Memphis drilled Virginia by 23, I’m afraid that is going to be a bad game for our Hurricane , that isn’t me saying we suck , that’s me saying Memphis is that good

Yeah it’s been a sloppy half but as Pooh pointed out, the majority of this half we’ve had 4 freshmen and a sophomore as our lineup.

 

[loca2874]

up 30 with just over 2 minutes left. looking good.

 

[nevadanatural]

I think coach looked at this game as a scrimmage and a chance for the young players to get experience, an example is Garcia 8 minutes and Keita 13 minutes.

 

[loca2874]

29 point win. 7 wins this season so far. just feel good about the future. Efficiency was high today on defense and offense. We should get a good bump in the NET from this. Also we are getting help from those we beat.

 

[nevadanatural]

I wish we had put Radford in, you need to reward those practice players when you have the chance.

Virginia is one of those teams that tries to muddy up games and play suffocating defense. They've struggled to score points even when they were a top 5 team the last few years. Unfortunately Memphis' brand of offense and athleticism can make good defensive teams look bad.

Still would like someone to run +/- with archie

After tonight, Archie is a +27 on the season. Haggerty leads the team at +78.

 

[nevadanatural]

Haggerty has been American freshman of the week 3 times and according to the broadcast crew is among the leaders among freshmen nationwide in a number of categories including second in scoring. What are the odds of him being American freshman of the year?

 

[TU Sepp]

MVSU has now played 11 straight games on the road. They will play 2 more road games before playing their 1st home game.
