Re: Up Next: Loyola Marymount

And can anyone tell me why Friedman is starting, but only playing 8 minutes a game?

Re: Up Next: Loyola Marymount

Starting is the absolute must overrated stat in basketball. Fans put way too much into who starts, IMO...

Crunch time minutes is what matters. The rest doesnt

Agree...so does Coach Jake

It's only overrated until you come out and open every game flat and dig yourself an 8-0 or 12-3 hole.

If there is such a thing as a must win game this early in the season, I would say this would be it.

This is an excellent point

Especially considering the average margin of defeat is 8 points.

Coach Jake said himself the Ohio game was lost in the first 10 minutes. He spoke in detail about us playing like the better team for the final 30 minutes but still not overcoming the early hole.

Re: Up Next: Loyola Marymount

Looks like they are already conceding the game. If you go to their website, on the schedule portion, game 2 is labeled as "Paradise Jam - Losers Bracket".

To be fair, they have the Sunday date listed as well for the Winner's bracket.

They are 4-0 already with a win at Long Beach State and a win over South Dakota State. Who would've thought that the undefeated D-1 team would be the Lions and the winless D-1 team would be the Panthers in this match-up.

Have to come out quick in this game.

Sorry, a little late on this one, but historically Jake does not give big guys a lot of playing time. He may let them start, but they usually see the bench for the majority of the 2nd half - see Coleman, Egelseder, etc...

Re: Up Next: Loyola Marymount

Re: Up Next: Loyola Marymount

This is a big one, need this game for two reasons: 1. To gain some confidence and get a D1 win under our belts, 2. The opportunity to play better teams in the winner's bracket.
