Alabama-Huntsville (11/12/12)

CMJ · November 12, 2012

Time to regroup after opening night. Can't help but play better.

GangGreen · November 12, 2012

Hopefully, we can work on our outside shooting. I'm still confused why Walton didn't play more. Anybody have any ideas?

Turned his ankle

Any way to watch this game or the following game?

Any way to watch this game or the following game?

The Kstate game is on ESPN3, and it's kind of crappy that we aren't also since they would already be setup for it. Maybe firstrow sports but I kind of doubt it. 9:30 start time it appears. Looks like ESPN2 for the championship game on Tuesday.

Turned his ankle

Is he gonna go tomorrow?

flyonthewall · November 12, 2012

Brandon broke his ankle and is having surgery some time this week. He is going to be out for two to three months.

Ouch!

Man, a poor shooting team just got a lot worse. This hurts. A lot.

BillySee58 · November 12, 2012

Dang. I wonder if he is going to take a hardship/medical redshirt this year. That would reduce our scholarships for this recruiting class by one and increase our scholarships by one for the 2014 class.

Feel bad for Brandan, praying for nothing but the best for his recovery. As for the rest of the team, we NEED Patton to come back soon. Play Patton and Holmen at the 3 so Jordan Williams can play more at shooting guard. Also need Clarke to get his game going and step up.

Let's see if our depth is as good as we've been touting it.

Green P1 · November 12, 2012

Without Walton, Patton, Taylor, and a gimpy Blackhole.... Our spectacular depth has taken a kick to the nads.

Harry · November 12, 2012

now we are seeing why Clarke got so many minutes -- we need him!

UNT90 · November 12, 2012

This game is going to be a lot more challenging than many think.

If we are going to work on something, that something needs to be winning.

NT03 · November 12, 2012

Damn.

. He did this during warm ups too , right ?

I didn't think it would be too bad since he tried to give it a go

I don't think so. For one, he was in the 2011 recruiting class. For another, someone on medical RS still counts as being on scholarship. Greyshirting is the only way to have a player off scholarship, and I don't believe that is an option.

UNT90 · November 12, 2012

A-H has 4 guys listed at 6' 8", a 6'9", and a 6'11".

We better get on the damn boards.

A-H also shoots the ball really well. We do not, at this point.

This game is gonna be VERY interesting.

Not to mention these guys (along with every other team we face this year), know who Tony Mitchell is, and would love to prove themselves against this 'Super-NBA-lottery-pick-guy'. We'll get everything they've got. I certainly hope we can shoot better and stay out of foul trouble. If so, this should be an easy win. If we're still not making shots and fouling alot, then it will be closer than we would like it to be.

I don't think he's talking about Walton going off scholarship or not counting towards scholarships... I think what he's saying is, if Walton couldn't play this year and received a medical hardship waiver, he could play for us in 2013-14.

Instead of replacing him (opening his scholarship) after this season, we would have that scholarship available for a new recruit in the 2014 class. One less incoming recruit for 2013, deferred until 2014.

EDIT: because this may still be unclear. I think when he said 'reduce our scholarships by one this year', he meant scholarships available to give to new players. Not how many players would currently be on scholarship.

H-towngreen · November 12, 2012

I think the outcome of every game this year is going to come down to 1 player. Chris Jones. He needs to be aggresive for us to win. The rest of the team can't sit around and wait for TM to make plays.

aztecskin · November 12, 2012

I'd like to see us when our shots were falling. Everyone can seem hesitant when nothing is dropping. Guys start forcing drives to the basket or passing up rhythm shots because they are unsure. I'm leaning towards chalking that whole game up to bad shooting night in retrospect.

If we were missing open shots, well, those nights just happen.

If we were unable to get quality looks, that is concerning, especially against a team that does not play particularly good defense.

How is this possible? We've played one game. We always seem to be in this situation. Bad, bad luck at UNT.

That is exactly what I meant. I said for our 2013 and 2014 recruiting classes, not rosters. Thank you for clearing that one up and actually reading.

chrisfisher · November 12, 2012

I've looked around, and I can't find any video viewing options for this game. I am willing to purchase the pre-season NIT games too. Does anyone know anything?

foutsrouts · November 12, 2012

Hopefully he will be completely 100% and in playing shape by SBC tourney time, but damn this one hurts. I guess the only "positive" is that Overlander will likely be getting some serious experience this year. We're really going to need him to come through.
