Which post should we have fed last night? Odufuwa wants to work 10 feet out, Howerton can't catch and Hogans offensive game is limited to put backs. Keith and Q got plenty of touches last season...but this year unless Howerton proves he knows how to simultainiously close his hands around a 29 inch diameter ball we really wont have a post threat.

He should've been eating a while ago

I'll agree with the intensity...but there are some glaring issues this team needs to address.

OSU is rolling out 3 athletic 6'5 wings...we're rolling out 3 guards under 6'2". White, Johnson and Thompson are struggling with their shooting...McCoy is 6'4", strong, athletic and is 1-1 shooting in this game and has proven he can heat up quickly...there is no reason he shouldn't be out there unless he is in JJs dog house for some unknown reason

Is Josh just heaving shots in the general direction of the basket now? And I'm getting really impatient waiting for Adam to get on the floor

hank isn't really leading on, but are these threes at least contended?

Amen. TT is struggling...every time I hear his name I just know its going up in a shot

Fouls

FIU over Monmouth without Alex Galindo or Josue Soto. Freshman guard Mike Dominguez goes for 22. Arkansas State giving it to Lyon College 46-16 at the half. Monroe down 13 just into the second half against Mississippi State

FAU will probably be without the service of all conference forward Carlos Monroe. A couple of Jarvis's new freshmen look good, but without Monroe I doubt they have a chance. Monmouth just played FAU to within 3...should be an good guage to see where FIU is, though they played their opener w/o Alex Galindo and Josue Soto...not sure if they'll be back for this game or not. Troy can't shoot as poorly as they did against UAB.

Thought itd be on KNTU...but I'm getting sweet, sweet Shanice instead.

Strong...to quite strong

My guess would be that it was in reference to the Dutch...thats also why Hofstra is the Pride now rather than the Flying Dutchmen. Oh Yeah: FU Hakim Warrick and your block of Michael Lee's baseline 15 footer!!

Not even offensive line coach Vance Vice...I hate that son of bitch

I think RV should offer Utah State's OC the OC position here...and run tape on that conversation...and then run a podcast.

Great call back. I was a big Todd Day fan back in the day.

Fencing teacher

Rudy Cos supports this statement

Rundrgen?

He's a sophomore. Tap the breaks.

Wondered about that after reading the box of your game Friday. Hudson when healthy will probably slide right back in...but could Green be fighting for minutes?

I certainly don't want to come off as excuse-making-guy...and I'm not happy with an 0-5 opening night...but here are a list of excuses as to why this isn't an awful night. 4 of these games were competitive against comparable, top mid-level programs. LA Tech will be greatly improved this season once they blend 4 D-1 transfers, including Magnum Rolle, a top 20 post when he signed with LSU a few years ago. UNI is near the top of the MVC. NC State will be highly competitive in the ACC, Houston same in C-USA...and UAB is good, but Troy should've been able to hang with them...but for a team that lives and dies by the three, 6-34 will more than likely mean die most nights. Teams were missing some key players. The most notable for me was UNO ability to stay with NC State without the services of forward Kyndall Dykes. ULL was without point guard Randell Diagle, wing Chris Gradnigo and forward Emmanual Adiefe. Western Kentucky was without guard A.J. Slaughter, and post D.J. Magley only played 6 minutes. Again, I'm not trying to justify an 0-5 start, especially with 3 of those loses on home court...but none of these should really be labelled as bad losses...save for maybe Troy.

Any idea why Magley only played 6 minutes for Western tonight? Anyone have any eligibility left want to go enroll at Denver? 3 guys played 40 minutes and they only went 2 deep on the bench. This really isnt a bad loss for UD...most of what I've read has UNI pegged second in the MVC, right behind Creighton. UNI isn't a running team by any means, but it still looks like Denver forced them into their snails pace kinda game.

That wasn't the question...wait that isn't even a question.

Hope it pans out...but I'm still skeptical of using 5 years worth of scholarship on the next Howerton.
