Re: Up Next: Ohio

yes, but i am afraid with the new rules that we are holding a set of dry erase markers.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I'm very disappointed that there is absolutely no TV for this game.....not even firstrow.

Anybody making the trip out to this game?

I have really no idea what that means. We have typically been one of the lowest fouling teams in the NCAA the last few years. The one part of the rules that may be a problem is the apparent elimination of the charging call, though our two main charge drawers in previous years were Jake Koch and Sonnen, so that may not be missed as much.

We will continue to rotate and play help defense and pack the passing lanes forcing teams to shoot from outside. Friedman fouled out against Bemidji, otherwise no one has been whistled for more than 3 in a game. I think we adjust fine, and if we can make our free throws, we could really benefit.

it was a comment in regards to me saying "A clean slate."

Our expected starting point guard was suspended for the scrimmage. This is his first year eligible... Transferred in from Texas Tech.

Who is your expected starting point guard?

More importantly, welcome to PN!

Re: Up Next: Ohio

I guess including his name would help... Javarez "Bean" Willis. He actually started at TTU before transferring to Ohio. I have heard good things but most Bobcat fans haven't seen him play yet. Supposedly he is defensive-minded.

Stevie Taylor who started in the scrimmage will probably get good time.

I would also expect TJ Hall to start over Ricardo Johnson but both should see good time.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

Also, the Convocation Center's capacity is over 13,000. That's just below Hilton, and Carver-Hawkeye. That's pretty impressive for a MAC program.

Re: Up Next: Ohio

In my opinion Clark Kellogg is the worst college basketball analyst

[ouvan59]

Re: Up Next: Ohio

Kellogg
Willis
Ndour
Smith
Johnson

It's possible Hall will start instead of Johnson but either way they'll both play a lot. Willis and Taylor will both play a lot as well. And much like you guys I expect there will be times where we'll have two PGs on the court at the same time. Both teams will be trying to mesh a lot of new moving parts so it will be tough to gauge what to expect.

You guys have twice as many seniors and are playing at home. The only question is how is your foul shooting? We are typically a 75% shooting team but are notoriously slow/poor early in the year.
