    Men's basketball

    Our Men's team had a closed scrimmage against TCU today. Anyone know the results and stats? They usually get leaked.

    I know we don't talk alot about basketball around here but currently Rocket Watts and Tolu Smith are out due to injury. They are both expected back around mid November.. so they may miss a few games. Freshman Keyshawn Murphy is out also but there is no timetable for his return. Luckily we have experienced depth this season Molinar is said to be looking NBA ready according to alot of people including George Brooks, he is also in some NBA mock drafts. Shakeel Moore is looking good and shooting well, Garrison, Jeffries, Matthews, Javian and Fountain are all looking good as well according to reports, we also have our Freshman Cam Carter and Applewhite coming on strong if we need them. We have a chance to be really good. Especially if we can stay healthy

    HailState, MSU Sports app, doesn't even be have a current roster on it!

    Disgraceful! How can you say 'you're serious' about a sport when the roster is a year out of date!

    Most likely Moore. When Rocket is healthy I?m sure he will push for it. Regardless both will play starter minutes.

    On Paper yes they are. Now they have to put in the work and start winning games. No more of this dropping BS games at home to teams we should control from tip to final buzzer.

    The early starters with the injuries will probably be:

    Molinar
    S. Moore
    DJ Jeffries
    Fountain
    G. Brooks

    Thats just my opionion. Matthews may very well start also. The bench will have Javian Davis, Matthews and the Freshman..

    Once we are Healthy:

    Molinar
    Watts
    DJ Jeffries
    Tolu
    Brooks

    This lineup may be the best complet lineup Howland has had. Plus a really good bench

    I saw that earlier today. Why are we pretty much the only team in the country without a current basketball roster on our official page?

    Don't have much faith in Howland. I expect us to squeak in the tourney and then it's a toss up after that.

    This is the best team Howland has had at State. It’s not even close

    Not even close? We had perry, Weatherspoon, Woodard and he couldn't do anything with it. 2 five stars and a high 4 star and Howland didn't do squat. Good luck with those sweet 16 expectations. As I mentioned we'll be lucky to squeak in the tourney

    Any thoughts of hurting yourself or others recently?

    That team was a 5 seed. You can be disappointed they were upset in the tourney but the team lived up to expectations.

    I Agree but that team didn't have the quality depth that this one has. If everyone is healthy we don't have alot of weaknesses with this group. We have size, athleticism, leadership, experience and outright talent. I'm not sure about our shooting but Howland mentioned Shakeel is shooting it well, and Garrison Brooks is also. Molinar also has a good shot.
