While I wouldn’t have an issue when any of those 5 in crunch time (especially with Hoiberg switching for defense with Essegian), there is no chance that Bryce is not included in crunch time of a close game.

We miss KT. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk

Just wanted to mention that we emptied the bench in this one in terms of playing Henry Burt and Jeffrey Grace. That means that Braden Frager, Nick Janowski, and Justin Bolis have maintained their redshirt eligibility.

I was wondering how I was dead last when I only missed the actual score by a total of 6 points...then noticed I mixed up the names on my prediction. People must've thought I was on crack predicting 10 non-con wins (and 23 overall) AFTER a 14 point opening loss to UTRGV. I would like to apologize to everyone who forgot to predict the first game because my error inadvertently added 30 points to your score. My bad!

Odd. Good catch. I have exactly what you mention in my records, but must have been a bad copy/paste. It pasted the first 53 scores but not the 57 total. You also might not have checked the fine print in the rules: * If Noah121 misses a prediction for the first game of the season, that participant is automatically disqualified. However, if Noah121 protests the leaderboard standings and provides the exact appropriate score, that participant is reactivated into the leaderboard standings.

Took care of business like they should've. -Berke has a goofy lovable personality. He seems like a really good teammate and I'm super glad he's here. Him at the 5 also opens up the offense. Glad to see him knock down a 3, it was needed. -morgan had a tough night. Few missed rotations and few times he fouled unnecessarily. -i was really impressed with ullis and how he pushed the pace last night. Put pressure on the rim a few times. His jumper will never be good, but just maybe knock down 1 every other game or so to keep the defense honest. -3 point shooting is the hot topic right now, and rightfully so. I've been pleased with the shot selection mostly, but they need to knock down the shots. As simple as that. -Brices shot went away after the first game, but he impacted the game in a few different ways last night. Liked his control of the offense and how he defended. FDUs guard, Terrance Brown, can GO and Brice guarded him most of the night. Brown had single digits in the first half, and it looked like fdu got him off ball more to get him going early in the second, and he finished with 20. Watch him as a potential transfer up guy in the spring -i noticed it Saturday and it was even more evident today, but the defense is already at mid season form and I think that'll be where we hang our hat on most nights. Length seems to force turnovers consistently and they're already at 12 blocks on the year 3 games in after having 87 all of last year. St Mary's is interesting. PG/big combo is excellent and should be giving us problems. One thing to note, they only have 4 guys who have made a 3 this year, and two of them haven't shot it great at all. If that holds true, this is definitely a game that Meah was brought in for, and even Morgan. Inside the arc affair with minimal 3 pt activity. They're efficient and don't turn it over a ton. Very interesting matchup, and one that the baseline double defense Loesner runs may be effective in

I'm kind of in that group, and the reason why is I think Mast is a bigger loss off last year's squad than Keisei. Rienk is like the ideal Hoiberg system guy. In other words, Keisei is fun and the ultimate showman, but Mast is the one that actually makes it all work.

You were just thinking that we'd lose that first game and get a new OC to take over for the remainder of the year. Totally plausible.

Remember, Morgan is a week back from post-concussion protocol. He is likely not close to 100% recovered. Give it some time fellas, he will be a big help to us.

One of the silver linings of everyone shooting so bad from 3 is that it no longer phases me when Juwan takes a 3.

Definitely factors in. I mean he's 58. But Paul has fought one boxer and lost. The rest have been MMA dudes and I think a basketball player. My thinking is Tyson is gonna get him with a solid punch and it's lights out.

It's the give and the take. Those defensive stats look pretty good. You're right about having a shooter like that on the roster. But one does not simply replace a Keisei Tominaga. I mean how many have we had like that ever? Edit - And to be clear I'd build my whole team around Tominaga if I could

KSU paid a lot of NIL for 8 PPG and 5 RPG… and this…

Some of those "We won't miss KT as much as you might think next year" posts have really stood out early. Still time, but there isn't a single guy that I've seen who I have as much confidence in shooting the rock from anywhere as I did with KT.

Yall better get on the GG train. Start him.

If you had told me Rollie Worster and Juwan Gary ranked 2 and 3 on the team in 3pt percentage through three games, I'd have said holy crap we are having an amazing start. There are 4 or 5 players I expected to (and still do expect) to shoot better than them.

1. Every time Juwan shoots a three, I say something like "crap, no!" I really love being wrong. 2. I am really liking Gavin. He is much more than just a shooter. His play should result in more minutes. 4. Okay, neither of our point guards are perimeter shooters. If they are okay with it, then I am good with us going with the best match up/hot hand.

I like this. Should start a new thread with this information after every game

I'd like him to get a bit more selfish.

Their starting forward, Paulius Murauskas, ate Berke's lunch on the boards during FIBA this summer when they played head to head.

Jumble What did the sports fan say when security told him he couldn't enter the FDU game because of how he was dressed: Guess i'm taking the KNIGHT off

None of our players had more than 1 turnover and our walk-ons got to score. I'm satisfied. Also, Berke Buyuktuncel is different. Hopefully his usage rate continues to increase. He has the future potential to be better than Mast at the Mast role.

Take a picture folks— it might not last long. Take that KenPom, we’re right where I thought we’d be!
