just curious, what's up...

Here's the story on the SIU exhibition game...and the picture shows a Saluki #11..and it is Tony Freeman...
Freeman was 2-8 and scored 6 pts

but there's no #11 on the roster they have on their web site...although that is definitely Freeman wearing #11....

so has he changed uniform numbers?

I watched some of the Notre Dame-Lewis game last night. It was a 4 point game with about 4 minutes left, with ND finally pulling away for a 70-56 victory. Lewis is well-coached, and I expect we'll see a lot of zone from them (they played mostly zone against ND). I think we're more athletic than ND is, especially on the perimeter, so it will be interesting to see how we fare in comparison.

Well, I guess we shall see how many shooters we have this year, and namely how well MK-34, DSE, and Eastman shoot from the perimeter...


Will make for an interesting exhibition as if I feel that if we prove we can break a zone, that will be just one more thing we haven't been stellar at since JC left.

I agree.
I expect Sam M. to light it up Sunday.

Wichita State played Kansas State yesterday in a closed scrimmage--
and of course there are no official results, but one guy on one message board did reveal something...
he said KSU won the scrimmage...so take it FWIW

That would not surprise me. KSU will be a better team this year then last and WSU will probably be more of a 2nd part of the season type team that you do not want to play. WSU will play tough D but against the better teams you need to score. I bet is that WSU will struggle to score in bunches and will have a a bunch of. "their stuck on a number" during their games.

[Da Coach]

Posters on both boards are saying their team won, so we'll probably never know.

Here is a brief blog post about the scrimmage by the beat writer for Wichita State.-

Shockers had an open intrasquad scrimmage last Friday...here's the same blogger talking about it...

http://blogs.kansas.com/shockwaves/2009/10/30/real-refs-mean-real-basketball/

what I find odd is that in a long discussion of the scrimmage, the writer never ONCE makes mention of anything to do with the scoring...the one topic everyone wants to know about..

Even in a long thread about the scrimmage...note how little mention of the scoring..

http://www.shockernet.net/sn/viewtopic.php?t=15189

But the scoring is known...and have to wonder why nobody is talking about it...a lot of the players had struggles scoring??...

Actually a K-State fan was the first to post on a K-State board saying that he knew someone close to the program and said that WSU "probably" won the scrimmage. He said the post play was all K-State (of course I'm sure Wally Judge had something to do with that), but said that the guard play was pretty even overall. He did say that K-State's guards had trouble scoring.

That post has since been removed so take it for what it's worth. In reality it will never be known how everything TRUELY went down, otherwise it would be a NCAA violation.

The thing I will take from it is Marshall sounds alot more enthusiastic in his brief comments that he could make about the scrimmage this year compared to last year.


This is all I need to know:

“It’s a much better starting point,” Marshall said. “We’ve gotten better as a basketball team from a year ago."

“We were able to compete with big, strong, aggressive athletes and not back down,” he said. “We were able to go against a team that is well-coached and do our thing.”

Missouri State coasted through it's exhibition game last night.
They ran out to a huge early lead, and demolished DII University of Missouri-St. Louis 86-48.
Some of MSU's starters played as little as 12 minutes in this romp.

Kentucky, with their top rated recruiting class, routed NAIA Campbellsville 74-38. John Wall, the top rated incoming freshman, did not play, as he was serving the first half of his 2-game suspension.-

http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-...0/uk11209.html
Campbellsville, who had no player taller than 6-4, was completely outclassed. Their 5 starters were a combined 5-33 from the field, and they were 6-26 from three. Nonetheless, the Kentucky starters (except freshman Demarcus Cousins, who was in foul trouble) played around 30 minutes each.
Of some concern to Kentucky fans was that UK shot only 3-14 from three, and the 5 starters combined for 19 turnovers. They are extremely athletic, but they lack shooters. Of their 3 three-pointers, 2 were by juco transfer Darnell Dodson, who started in place of John Wall, and 1 was by senior Perry Stevenson, who played just 6 minutes, and will likely be a reserve on Calipari's team.

More exhibitions from last night of interest to BU fans-
Iowa State, a future BU opponent, played someone named Black Hills State 96-47.

......and that's a BIG deal. Sadly, we know that story ALL too well. (But this year WILL be different for us )

WHAT A JOKE!

Thats about as bad as Urb suspending Brandon Spikes for a HALF of a game against Vanderbilt this coming weekend for going Ric Flair on a RB from Georgia and eye gouging him during their game Sat.
