Basketball exhibition today

[CadaverDawg]

Is there any way to follow the game today? I know it won't be on HailState or anything, but is twitter the only way to know what's going on?

[Dawg61]

Whose going to be the Will James of basketball? Someone on campus we'd all appreciate some stats and updates please

Haha regardless, Will has the better gig! Following our baseball team is a joy....following our basketball team is punishment.

[milliedog]

Hail State subscribers can view the game at 3:00PM. Jim and Bart will announce.

Definitely not Will James

[Dawg61]

Awesome.

So you'll post stats for us? Thanks Cad

[CadaverDawg]

So you'll post stats for us? Thanks Cad

Well, I actually would...but it isn't showing up as an option on my HailState app, so I'm not sure I'll be watching it

[milliedog]

I'm showing it is for Premium Subscribers starting at 2:50PM.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm showing it is for Premium Subscribers starting at 2:50PM.

I'm not sure if I'm premium....I just know a few years ago I joined and I get all of the basketball and baseball games during the season. Does that mean I'm premium?

[milliedog]

I'm logged in and watching it live. Seems like I have to pay $100 each year. Maybe you can log in and join again.

I'm logged in and I looked and am paying $100 per year...but on IPad it isn't an option. Are you on iPad or laptop?

[milliedog]

I'm on my home computer.

Let us know how things look.

[CadaverDawg]

Got it working.

Dre Applewhite is looking good right now

[CadaverDawg]

They are zoning us and we are showing really quick ball movement and cutting a good bit. I like the way Applewhite moves without the ball.

[CadaverDawg]

There is no score or commentary on the video feed, so I have no damn clue of the score

[CadaverDawg]

Our defense is pesky. We are playing a 2-3 zone like I've never seen. It isn't that 2-3 with a lot of standing around. We are bouncing out quickly to guard the 3 and trapping out of it too. I just love seeing the effort Ray's teams show.

We are going to have trouble rebounding this year. Gavin will have to stay out of foul trouble

[It_Could_Happen]

I'm on my way back to stark right now and I'm going to the game as soon as I get there. Ill post an update as soon as I can

[CadaverDawg]

Ready may be a good one, but he makes a lot of questionable passes so far. Roquez Johnson is working on the boards right now. Showing great effort to help down low while Ware is out with foul trouble.

[CadaverDawg]

Jim and Bart finally just came on. Apparently we are up by 12 wi 5:20 left in the half

[CadaverDawg]

33-17 Dawgs

Sword leads team with 8 points

[messageboardsuperhero]

It will not be pleasant to play offense against us, but Cadaver's right, our rebounding will not be that good. If we can learn to box out every time down the floor, putting up points will not be easy against us. Scoring points in the half-court on a consistent basis will be our biggest problem.

I think a winning season is a reasonable goal for this year.

[milliedog]

3:18 left in 1st half, State 33 Auburn Montgomery 17. Sword 8, Borchert 7 and Applewhite 6

[CadaverDawg]

FTF hasn't made many shots, but by God he's going to keep shooting until he does! Ha. Applewhite is an instinctive guy, makes good cuts and draws fouls. I like what I'm seeing out of him. He has 7 points

[CadaverDawg]

9-10 from the free throw line so far

[CadaverDawg]

Borchert with his second 3. Dawgs up 19 with a minute left.

Borchert has 12 points now. Leading scorer

[CadaverDawg]

42-22 State

We are out rebounding them 19-11.

Under 20 seconds left in the half

[CadaverDawg]

Wow, great play Ray drew up before half for our last shot. Ended up with a Sword layup.

44-22 State at half.

I'm assuming he drew up the play. Called a timeout right before we took our last shot of the half.

We shot over 50% in the half

[It_Could_Happen]

Sword looks very good. Ware has no hands at all.

[CadaverDawg]

Sword looks very good. Ware has no hands at all.

Sword has got some great moves to create an open jump shot...he just can't seem to make the shots. If he starts getting those to fall, he will be tough. A very Dontae jones looking fade away, but unlike jones! Swords aren't dropping right now.

[CadaverDawg]

Borchert with 16 after a great fast break where Sword fed Borchert for e layup. Flat Top Fred with a 3 ball as well.

[It_Could_Happen]

Open half on 7-0 run. Two Borchert lay ups and a Thomas 3

[CadaverDawg]

51-22 MSU

[CadaverDawg]

Sword is defending the shit out of his man. Moving his feet well.

[CadaverDawg]

And as I say that, he gets beat by his guy and the dude tomahawks it

[It_Could_Happen]

Don't know who #0 is from AUM but he just threw down a nasty tomahawk.

[It_Could_Happen]

56-24 dogs.

[CadaverDawg]

Wow, Dre Applewhite just stuffs a guy trailing a fast break.

[It_Could_Happen]

Huge block from Applewhite. Pinned it up against the backboard.

[CadaverDawg]

We are shooting 59% from the field

[It_Could_Happen]

And then he throws the pass in the 4th row on the other end.

[CadaverDawg]

Playing a little sloppy on both ends now. Missing some open shots, committing some fouls.

[It_Could_Happen]

CD I don't know about you but it looks like we pass the ball a little to much. Bloodman and Applewhite have had some wife open looks and just pass it away.

[CadaverDawg]

FTF with another 3 ball

[CadaverDawg]

CD I don't know about you but it looks like we pass the ball a little to much. Bloodman and Applewhite have had some wife open looks and just pass it away.

Yea a little bit. I think Bloodman knows he can't shoot so he tries a little too hard to be unselfish. He has to shoot that little jumper

[CadaverDawg]

59-30

[CadaverDawg]

Nevermind, you're right. We have got to start shooting these wide open shots. We just don't have many confident shooters. Fred Thomas will fire it any time though

[It_Could_Happen]

Getting very sloppy. Easy turnovers, stupid fouls, and very lazy defense.

[CadaverDawg]

59-35 State with under 12:00 to play

[It_Could_Happen]

59-35

[CadaverDawg]

Getting very sloppy. Easy turnovers, stupid fouls, and very lazy defense.

Yep. Pretty ugly the last 5 minutes

[CadaverDawg]

They are playing the Maccarena(sp?) at the hump. Good grief. We need major audio/video over hauls

[It_Could_Happen]

Ware with a nice two handed slam

[CadaverDawg]

Great assist from Applewhite to Ware. 62-41 though...they are hitting 3's like crazy right now

[It_Could_Happen]

FT shooting is horrendous

[CadaverDawg]

I'm having to check out. Keep us updated It_could_happen

[It_Could_Happen]

65-42. Dallas Prater getting some playing time.

[It_Could_Happen]

Borchert looks very good in he post. He has easily been our best scoring option. Thomas with a break away dunk and then a break away ally oop lob to Borchert. 73-46 with 7 mins left.

[It_Could_Happen]

Bloodman basically just took a punch to the face. No tech. 80-48. Applewhite getting it going

[It_Could_Happen]

All I'm going to say about prater is he may get broken in half during sec play. He looks like a high school freshman on the court.

[CadaverDawg]

Is he a walk on?

[It_Could_Happen]

Final 86-57 very impressed with Applewhite and Borchert. We have got to find some defense. Gave up a lot of wide open looks.

[Raytoraid83]

Yep walk on from St. Andrews. He can jump out gym though.

[Dawg61]

I can't wait to see Elijah Staley added. I'm still holding out hope that DeRunnya Wilson plays but he's a top 3 WR on the football team.

[engie]

If you were De'Runnya, why wouldn't you play? Highly unlikely he has anything to do from 4 weeks from now until March...

[Dawg61]

This is what I'm hoping. Adding both him and Staley to this team could really help us. They both have great size and run the floor very well. They are good for transition points if nothing else. Try stopping those two on the fast break.

[smootness]

Staley is not going to enroll early, so we can stop dreaming about that.

[Dawg61]

Staley is not going to enroll early, so we can stop dreaming about that.

Well that sucks. Thought it was 99% he was enrolling early?

[trob115]

'Bear' will be on the team this year. Just a matter of whether its the last week in November or 1st week of January at this point. He will help some with the depth issues in the post.

I nominate the Ref....
