OCU Predictions

CMJ · November 10, 2011

Wish we had our 2nd exhibition game before the season, instead of in the middle of it.

Anybody else having trouble understanding the announcer?

Halftime

Can definitely tell we're a young team. I think we'll play much better 2nd half.

They do look like a young team at times...but have flashes of greatness... they will have much to work on after this game, but there is some great, young talent on the floor. Jordon Williams has been very quiet...almost non-existant. I look forward to him making his presence known in the 2nd half.

we look VERY young...which we are....but the talent is visable...it may be a long month and 1/2 but once conference play comes i think we find the groove.

I'm here at the game and I swear the ref from the Sun Belt Championship game that I hated so much is in this one. Can anyone confirm?

On an early scouting note...Mississippi State looks beatable.

This team is RAW. But I can tell Johnny is tinkering to see what he's got. Right now the governor is still on this engine.

Green P1 · November 10, 2011

Did Blackhole play at all in the first half? If so I did not notice.

Playing better. Holmen came in, after not playing in the 1st half, and provided a nice spark.

The new unis are some of the baggiest Ive ever seen #grumpyoldman

Still working on things, but playing better.

Stars take a timeout. We're starting to put some distance on them now.

Real workmanlike effort the last several minutes. We have plenty to work on for Friday though.

The dancers are already in midseason form. I love the section my seats are in.

Final

Not sure if I should since it's just a preseason game....but what the hell....

Saw the last couple minutes. Chris Jones is about as fluid as I've seen since Chris Davis roamed The Pit.

I recognized Jordan on a couple plays; he looked like he was trying too hard? Good defensive effort, though.

Robertson has a pretty release, especially for a big man. Am I off base there?

Sounds like Trey made good use of his time.

Niko looked really good, actually; consistent with the text I got from someone who was there.

Offense needs an identity. Please. Our depth and athleticism allows us to not panic about the offense, right? I mean those - coupled with effort - can be huge on the defensive end.

Looks like a skirt that a fundamentalist Mormon group would wear.

Green P1 · November 10, 2011

I really wish we had the depth to redshift Forrest this year. His body could use it.

UNTP1 · November 10, 2011

My observations from the game:

1) We have some pretty good raw young talent even without Franklin and Mitchell. (Granted it was against an inferior opponent)

2) Chris Jones is the real deal.

3) Not only did Niko play well but he did some trash talking. (Not sure what language)

4) By the time Mitchell is eligible and assuming Franklin becomes eligible this will be a very good team. That being said I think it will take some time to get some of the mistakes out of their system.

5) Looks like we wore the old unis since it was an exhibition. I say that because they looked the exact same and didn't have names on the back.

I know those were pretty generic and not anything new really but I just figured I'd share... Oh and what I really took away from the game was that we're due for a road win at Troy on Saturday. (Wrong forum for that but I had to add it)
