mat1992 2,233 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Hey, Brad. Good to hear from you. Forgot to mention no Flo Sports this week as the Pitt game on Friday is at 6pm on ACC Network. The JMU game on Saturday at 2pm is on NBC Sports Washington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,233 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Also, another nice raucous crowd of over 1,700 (wish we would start the games at 7:30 for the late arrivals). I really think we have some hungry basketball fans just yearning for some entertainment since it's been nearly two years since they could see live hoops. BTW, I think the WBB team should be fun to watch as well. But pressing+steals=dunks, which is what the fans want to see and we have a few high risers in Nolan, Holden, Timberlake, Rizzuto and well, if Darrick Jones Jr. ever get on the floor when it's not garbage time. A little disappointed he didn't put on more size, because he's basically the same height as Cam Holden. If he weighed around 210, he could play some small-ball four as Holden does (I'm guessing is close to 210). That garbage time three showed that he wasn't hesitant at all to take that shot. I think we can see more if Timberlake has an off-night shooting. I like the fact that Cam Holden is such a part of the offense and is the create ala Benimon, when he was here. I'd like to see Nolan drive and dish more to CT or to swing it to Rizzuto, Timberlake or Gibson if he's in. Rizzuto is banged up and hopefully Nolan will be ok for Friday. He took a tough spill on that dive and at times, he can do some nice things on the defensive end and at other times, his mind gets around him too easily. Not sure if that's a lack of focus on the defensive end, but he showed in that second half what he's capable of doing in transition and on the defensive end. I think we'll see a lot of Paar in the next few games with Gray out, especially against Pitt. He gets pretty down on himself, but if you look at his numbers at GW, there is something there. He's getting less minutes now, but he's not being asked to be Jokic at center. Just rebound, defend, set stationary screens and finish strong. I think it's a confidence thing with a new team and that's he's coming off the bench after starting most of his career at GW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay Area Tiger 347 Report post Posted November 17, 2021 You’ll see Paar for possibly 25+minutes (averages 13 minutes a game) on Thanksgiving night against the Dons who start Patrick Tape (6’10”) & Yauhen Massalski (6’9”) and bring Volodymyr Markovetakyy (7’2”) off the bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it's possible since Holland is not coming back but transfer rules, credits, I just don't see that happening. Gray is only going to be out 1-2 weeks. Don’t know. But having another body wouldn’t hurt. Holland doesn’t seem to be with the team so who knows what’s going on there. gray 1-2 meaning he’d likely miss Las Vegas late next week?

Monmouth did blow out Leigh last night and likely is better than we all thought pitt took 4. 4! Three pointers last night. In 2021 that’s hard to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a 5 point game with 2:34 left. I agree they played like sh*t but it wasn't a blowout by any means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
