68 - 61 Rebels

DJT real good on catch and shoot 3 pointers this year. Last year he was not that great at shooting.

The way the game is ending, is this going to be another nail in the coffin or a last minute come back and win against a mid level team?

 

[largefella]

No idea why they aren't finding Bear in the paint more... seems like it's unbeatable right now.

Also don't love the hero-ball that DJT is trying to play, but understand it considering this awful play design.

 

[largefella]

Alright, good finish to the game. Liked the play design a bit more and goddamn did we need every ounce of DJT magic tonight. Such a fun player to watch, but I want the rest of the team's defensive IQ to be a bit better. Bear can get boards but isn't in the right spot, nobody seems to know how to navigate screens, and dude what is going on with these fouls?

 

[saulpaul21]

21 offensive rebounds given up. They should have killed this team, but this team of small and skinny guys will get pounded on boards by anyone good.

Why we do not play 2 bigs at once is beyond me.

It's not like we have any defensive stoppers out there.

Our top transfer Bedford sure not looking special. Swishrain is looking good. Hill has skills.

What happened to Whaley?

Probably shopped himself to a better school.

Injured, i think? If there’s any cause for optimism it’s that Whaley and Cherry haven’t played a single minute together yet.

Back Injury.

 

[WarthogRebel]

Anyone at the game. Was Whaley even there? I didn't see him. And who is the tall white kid warming up but sitting on the bench? (Never took off his warmup suit to see a number) Any info on Evans??
