Game 3: Louisiana-Monroe at Texas, 7 PM, LHN

[Horny Bull 2759]

A win is a win. I'll leave it at that. 

[Cameltoe 114]

Well we held Munnings scoreless in the 2nd half, that's pretty good.

Noice! Who got next?

[Billy Pilgrim 1963]

At least Kansas is struggling with Vermont and Kansas state struggling with Denver too. Not the only ones looking like shit early in the season.

Curious what the spread was for the last 2 games.  Not a betting man because Vegas is smart.  I know we didn't cover the first game and seems like we wouldn't have the last 2 either.  

[Revolution512 1487]

One more warmup before we see if the guys can raise their level of play

[dcar00 14210]

one more tune up before it gets really dicey. this OOC will be extremely challenging for this group.   .500 would be good.

"mythical draftable"

uh, what?

We've failed to cover in every game so far. Tonight was supposed to be a 20 pt romp.

[chase25 2048]

Well, I like that Kerwin doesn't kid himself or the team, pretty much tells it like it is. That is one positive

North Carolina's gonna slap the turkey out of our mouth on Thanksgiving.

[dcar00 14210]

these kids know what good basketball looks like. hope Long and Ramey can shoot well enough to keep D's honest.

Nah, we are Texas.  We play to the level of our opponent in all sports.

Yes. He is a very smart player.  He needs to get more aggressive.  That will come with games.  Right now he is just looking to pass unless he is wide open.  Several times  he’s gotten his man in the air and then just passed it. 

You're not lying. If you take Dylan's aggressiveness from last year and give it to Hepa you'd have a nice player. Every shot fake he makes gets guys ten feet up in that air, but all he does after that is side dribble and pass it.

7,453 was the official attendance.   plus or minus 7,000

[Steamboat1874 4066]

I am pretty sure we are the worst shooting team in the country from 3 feet in.

I was there.  No way that stadium was 1/3 full much less 1/2.  Probably paid figure.

And this

[Cameltoe 114]

We are 229th in the country in 3pt% out of 353 total division 1 teams. So that's pretty far from worst.

There's still time 

[HookEm 2467]

We may not have the worst 3pt%, but there aren't many worse than us that are shooting MORE than us.

We have missed 57 3s this season.  That ties us for 340th out of 353 Div-1 teams.

[HookEm 2467]

If you factor out 3's, we are also horrible at 2 pt FG% at 49%.  That places us #234 / 353 teams.

It's almost as if that's our goal

I am encouraged.  Hayes is a real stud.  So is Ramey. Long is useful.   Dylan, Roach, Coleman and even Sims and Febres are gradually improving.  We have more good players coming in next year. .  Shaka is also gradually improving..  The glass is more than half full.

"Dylan, Coleman, Sims, Febres, and Shaka are all steadily improving"? Yeah, in some Bizarro World timeline far away from this one. 

[Dbeasy 15051]

As a Spurs fan, I learned that a great coaching staff can make tremendous improvements to a player’s shooting. If the shooting is not improving, well, that’s cause for concern.
