Just realized their second leading scorer (Kaden Cooper) is a guy we talked to when he was in high school. I believe he ended up going to Oklahoma.
 
LA Tech is pretty athletic. Have a couple long bigs and a couple nice guards. Not much for shooting but they love to attack the rim.
 
LA Tech ended up walking away with it after JSU decided to jack 3s and bad shots. Will say Tech did not like playing against the zone but they did end up hitting some 3s against it when the Thomas kid got hot.

If we shoot well and play some modicum of defense, I think we should come out of the back-to-back games against LA Tech with 2 wins.

We need to scout their oop package. I think they had like 5-6 in the 14 minutes I watched. Got to find their bigs and push them off the block early.
 
It was the morning of game day vs a college basketball blue blood and I had to wonder...

Will the basketball gods have mercy on our soul? I mean, 38 point loss.
Could the Sycamores put a scare into the Blue Devils? Briefly yes, 14-4.
Who will be our primary defender of Cam Boozer? Did we have one?
Who even is our best defender anyway? Do we have one?
How excited is Walker to be playing two games in his home state this season? Probably quite a bit, but I can't speak for him.
Will it be a Sycamore who has the game-high in points? HA!
Will it be a Sycamore to have the game-high in any stat category? YES! Hall with six assists.
What's the over/under for Xavier Hall assists? I would have put it at 4.5.
Any chance we can limit our turnovers in this game? Negative, 18 TOs.
If we put on a solid showing does that mean we're a contender in the MVC? I think we're an MVC contender.
How soon into the ACC Network broadcast will they reference Larry Bird? Literally during the tip-off. But it was brief.
Will the broadcasters pronounce coach's last name with a hard or a soft G? Soft G, they got it right.
What was the last ACC team that we played? I believe it was the Miami in 2012, we won, and Miami went to become #1 in the country.

LaTech cannot shoot a lick, but they defend very, very well. We will certainly be tested by their height, length, and athleticism. They have the Duke game film to know how to defend us - switch all screens and deploy a soft 3/4 court zone.

Click to expand...
We played Notre Dame in like 2014 and we did play SMU a couple years back now they are in the ACC.

Soooo...is no one gonna mention the dude in the stripper hoodie right behind our bench?
 
Going from first to worst, wow haha

I also saw that LA Tech doesn’t have a game between our two matchups so they have two straight games against ISU
