Bray Wyatt Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Bumping this for the season, man I was impressed with the new guys in the exhibition. Really loving having a big man like McLeod in the middle and playing more man allows for the talented guys like brown and Williams to match up and use their length and athleticism. Then we got guards like Sterling and Mintz. Shooters in Taylor and bell. This should be a tournament team 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 So Benny Williams did not play (didnt see him on the bench either) for the last exhibition game last night. Announcers said he was suspended for violating team rules 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Not sure why we don't keep bell and Taylor on the floor at the same time. Also any word on what happened to get Williams suspended? Congrats Red on your first win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am sure they are still trying different things on defense. But to your point, we need some shooting out there. I really can’t believe Mintz and Starling and Copeland can’t hit wide open 3s. by the way, I love how Cuffe plays! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Anyone else hear the rumor about the alleged “dust up” between Benny and Red Autry in practice last week that led to his suspension? I heard Benny got in his face screaming and it got ugly. Autry threw him out of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me chuckle as it reminded me of when my mother asked my son, maybe one year out of college, how many times a week he dusted his apartment. His expression was PRICELESS! 😂 I’m only here because I can’t look at the football stuff right now. So many GENIUSES! Or is that Guinnesses? Hard to say for sure. My older sister and a close friend went to Syracuse, so I feel a bit connected. I’m just glad to have some hoops to focus on. College hoops is my secondary “thing”, but mostly Xavier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Cuse looking better against Canisus. it is amazing though how terrible their zone looks even in limited minutes. Canisus just gashed it when they went to zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Definitely a bit nervous about the defense. It's so nice to have a pair of guards as quick as Judah and JJ are though. JJ's jumper a bit concerning too; I feel like he had a reputation as a pretty good shooter but the numbers and eye test are both not good right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemhoff Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 These guys seem to be playing with more of a “not afraid of getting pulled” attitude…especially Bell. We have got to figure out the D and rebounding early in games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because guys like bell don't believe in rebounding lol He's had a couple of games where he's got some decent boards... But for a 6'8 player he admittedly even said he was never asked to rebound in high school Also it doesn't help when you're 7 ft 3 center can't grab bound off the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play a lot of rec ball, and I am there to basically drain buckets, not get an elbow to the face. but to your last point, I was puzzled at how Naheem got worked by these 6’8” power forward at Colgate. I assumed too he would be a major upgrade on the boards from Edwards— obviously very wrong about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Still in this especially with Mintz sitting out almost all the first half. The refs seemed to swallow the whistle while Tenn was on D.
