Says practice update in title. Right one post about Bradley.

yup - practice...
and here's another story related to practice...
Barry Hinson says freshman Amadou Fall & R-Senior Thik Bol are still recovering from their knee surgeries...
Fall may redshirt - in fact Barry "was leaning towards redshirting all four freshmen" but Bol doesn't have a redshirt year left
so they will have to be very careful with him... I wonder if he will play much at all until the conference season starts since that's all that matters
SIU also has a closed scrimmage set for the end of Oct. but opponent not revealed.
UNI's Tywhon Pickford - out 4-6 weeksComment

On rewatch I realized it??™s Ari Boya. Some of the different angles he looked shorter than he is to me and it threw me off.Originally posted by ihatetea View PostGotta stop feeding the trolls.Comment

Boya makes Koch Bar look small when Bar scores on him (at the 31 second mark), which by the way was a nice move by Bar.Originally posted by ihatetea View PostComment

Practice update - beware - other teams mentioned...
-it was reported that Luuk's injury was a fractured fibula but as freely as he was walking with the boot would suggest a healing stress fractice and not a completed fracture of the fibula. Anyway - he won't practice until later this month..
-Drake has their Blue-White intrasquad scrimmage tomorrow at 2pm
-at SIU oft-injured, redshirt senior Thik Bol suffered another injury in practice.
It apparently required another knee procedure so he is out for at least another week or so.
Even before this injury Barry Hinson had said Bol-
"may be limited all season bc of his knee. He expects Bol to still play 15-20 mpg
and be Thik Bol but “may never be healthy this season."Comment

ISU's Keyshawn Evans has his good luck charm - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpJf2dkW...pg&name=medium

ISU Hoopfest
Keyshawn Evans wins 3-pt contest, Phil Fayne wins dunk contest
Their Red-Gray scrimmage was ...
Gray 23 - Red 18
addendum- I was hoping the Pantagraph or their beat writer would have some coverage but I guess not...
there's nothing at all in their paper today about their scrimmage and their beat writer was instead at a local high school football game
Their campus guys (The Vidette) have some coverage on Twitter & a picture or two - https://twitter.com/Vidette_Sports
Loyola has an open practice today- Evansville has theirs with a scrimmage on WednesdayLast edited by tornado; 10-13-2018, 10:12 AM.Comment

report on Evansville's HoopfestOriginally posted by tornado View Post
In their 3-point contest- the two finalists were transfer Shea Feehan & WBB RS Junior Marley Miller...and Miller took home the Championship!
Marley Miller also won the WBB Knockout Contest while Feehan won the Men's Knockout
The Dunk Contest was won by transfer Sam Cunliffe (not eligible this year)
They had a 12-minute intrasquad scrimmage but no official scoring totals were made public.
Unofficially their "Purple" squad beat the "Orange" 23-18
Scoring: Feehan 7 pts, Marty Hill 7, John Hall 6, freshman Shamar Givance 5, DeAndre Williams (not eligible this year) 4.
As you can see from the video - the crowd was fairly smallComment

Missouri State held an open practice -
here's one person's summary of their players
Valparaiso also held an open practice and a season ticket holder event...
neither apparently was well received...and not well attended...(maybe 50 people at the practice?)
There were some videos posted to confirm what the fans said - but a couple of comments by Valpo fans went like this:
First - a comment on the ticket holder event:
[SIZE="1"]"The season ticket night was a dull event. Not much planning went into it to make it fun. A very seasoned crowd. It’s like they had it to just have it.
"I have never been to one of these events, but I'm disappointed in the lack of planning observed above. This, like the Hammond Civic Center open practice coming later, needs to be well choreographed to appeal to the audience that attends. I assume the goal of both open practices is to develop some fan excitement and create a closer bond between the fans and the players on the team. It sounds like this could have been done better. Season ticket holders should send some feed back...."
Then some comments on the practice last night:
"That was not a practice, complete waste of time...."
"Admittedly our group arrived 20-minutes after the “alumni” portion began, so we might have missed the most abridged “practice” of all time.
They lazily mingled with locals and watched as 5-year olds air balled shots. It felt like halftime @ the ARC of late. Disorganized and meaningless. I won’t be driving 90-minutes each way for less than open gym quality play again. Most of the players never took off their sweat shirts.
The limited info gleaned from the mess was:
1) No Sorolla sighting unless he was hiding in a corner
2) Nick Robinson was in a walking boot? Best I could tell it was him
3) Eron Gordon has a beard
4) Mileek is a legit 6’8” and no more baby face
5) Ryan Fazekas can type fast on his phone
6) Micah Bradford doesn’t even shoot during “practice”, heck maybe that’s good news!
7) Javon Freeman looks like Kobe Bryant (physically) and is shifty and going to be fun!
8 ) Daniel Sackey is FAST and tiny
9) Hammond is a bit ghetto
10) Neither coach even picked up the microphone in the 60-minutes we were there"
"Attendance - what is your guess?
Minus players and staff...maybe 50 ppl? ..
Just horribly organized, I was wholly dissatisfied. Maybe I’m the fool for thinking “Practice” meant drills and possibly scrimmage."Comment
