Berke has pretty good form on his jump shot. But when he drifts or falls back on his three ball it is an automatic miss. I would think they would catch that on film; but it seems quite obvious when you view it. And oh yeah, go to the basket with bad intentions. And that goes for the entire team. On occasion finesse is necessary...but come on.

Good ball movement today and a well played game. Needed the bounce-back win, and performed. Nice win.

She had offers, most notable were UNLV, Cal State Northridge and Cal Poly. Sort of interesting. We were late on her and she doesn't have any major programs after her. I have guesses; but no harden facts: * she is a starter on the #1 team in the country. Due to the strength of the program and talented roster, is she overlooked * is she not able to fully display her talent * did she play on an aau team and if not, was her talents on display in the summer * is she the weak link on an otherwise strong talented team, and is she being carried by that other talent * does she have grade or transcript issues * does she have an injury history * is she a late developer * was there an assumption that she was firmly locked in elsewhere Fact is, she looks talented. She looks the part. The video I've seen shows she can play the game. Perhaps we found a great fit to our program. We can sure hope so!

Our lack of physicality was glaringly obvious for the first 25 or so minutes yesterday. That should never, ever happen. Connor and Brice can make moves at the rim, everyone else need to go up and rip down the rim.

Jeez guys, I don't know how you do this. After I plopped back on my seat yesterday, I was just hoping we can win at Ohio State. Zero thoughts beyond that one game. When I read through the above takes, I smile and recall Mora's rant...

I assume Britt is back???

Me today, over 3 hour period: Nervous... Optimistic... Pissed... Enthusiastic... Crushed... Depressed.

Bugs posted this on recruiting; but I thought it deserves its on thread. Welcome N Alanna!!! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDnvP4VviNO/?igsh=MWh1ajMzengweGt1Yw==

Yup, she is the recruit I briefly visited with. She looked like an athlete. Hope she is a fantastic fit.

Yup, Dolph stayed close to the program by becoming a long time sports anchor. I was forced to move to Des Moines for a four year stretch. I couldn't consider being either an Iowa or Iowa State fan, so I used time to attend some Drake basketball, football (yes they had football at that time and the Drake Relays. Actually it was a pretty good sports school. Side story, my wife worked with the wife of the head football coach, and I got to hang with him on a few occasions. I also worked out at a facility that was managed by Mike Naderer's girl friend. Got to hang with them as well. Mike was an assistant on the basketball team for a year or so. Mike of course was a guard on the Cornhuskers.

Yeah, I am not a fan on dwelling on the last shot (although when it is made it is somewhat sweet). Rather, perhaps we dwell on the missed bunnies, the missed free throws and the plethora of missed open look shots. Just saying...

Actually, Drake has a pretty decent basketball history. Black Magic Lloyd and Pop Wright were examples of prey good players.

Defense = good Brice = good Rebounding = good Intensity = good Everyone else other than Brice on offense = BAD

I've heard Minnesota IF they part eays with Johnson.

Last I heard was that he only participated in one live drill on Saturday and he would then be evaluated Sunday. After Saturday's drill, he did have some expected swelling. If I got all those tidbits straight, I will be surprised if he plays tonight.

I was shocked by how bad we were on the defensive end. Even if we heated up on offense, it wouldn't have mattered, because our defense simply didn't have the skill or scheme to stop them.

Zero excuse, Nissley had surgery on both feet during the off-season, severely affecting development. Just a fact with no strings attached.

Last night we essentially started the game with four guards. In no way, shape or form did we handle PSU's pressure. The number of turnovers were alarming. They kept their big in the paint and we could not penetrate when, and if,⁹ we broke free of the pressure. So my concern is that we knew the pressure was coming. The crowd was small and a non-factor. Over the tv, I could hear players yelling wolf. WTH. More often the pressure included a double team, meaning someone was wide open. No conclusion, simply udder disbelief that our team failed to adjust to their defense.

Wow, what an effort and what a well needed win! Alexis!!!!!!

No problem, great I am able to help out. I pay close attention to you Royal. I appreciate your insight and passion. I am a bit butt hurt with your opinion of my observations. Oh well.
