I don't see a box score.

Is Shaq Carter going to start, with Yeboab as instant offense off the bench? I’m wondering...

 

[kcg88]

25% 3P%, yuck.

Don't even think it's surprising anymore to say Harper will be our best player this year.

Me too but playing Yeboah alongside Johnson makes more sense than playing career with him I think. Carter might be the guy you put in for offense.

Maybe it’ll depend on matchups too.

New 3pt line and such. Too early to make anywhere near a statement.

Maybe but this is the new distance they'll be using during the NCAA season.

 

[NJDOVES]

I like our inside game much better!
Why take threes when you have power down low for any easy two?

 

[higgins3]

Yes, and every team in the country is adjusting to it as well. I saw lower than normal numbers for Myles Powell,too.

 

[RUChow]

Poor competition like this can get you into some bad habits as much as it can improve your game.

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

We shot about 56% on 2pt shots which, I assume, was due to our height advantage, so rebounding also has to be taken with a grain of salt. Assists were good, nice to see Paul get his first points. Some guys were off their games based on the stats. Silly to predict starting lineups at this point, although I think Harper is better suited for the 3 spot, with Yeboah or Carter at the four. In Coach Pike we trust.

 

[Big East Beast]

Interesting stat: McConnell scored12 pts but was +31 while Harper scored 26 and was +17

Pretend these games didn’t happen. Don’t make ANY conclusions off these games.

21:41 - McConnell
20:24 - Johnson
18:53 - Carter
17:29 - Baker
16:45 - Yeboah
14:13 - Kiss
10:25 - Mulcahy
5:19 - Downes

Which brings the total minutes over three games to:

58:08 - Baker
57:17 - McConnell
57:08 - Johnson
57:03 - Harper
55:49 - Young
54:36 - Mathis

47:35 - Kiss
47:03 - Mulcahy
46:48 - Yeboah
8:05 - Nathan
7:35 - Downes
3:19 - Brooks

Still keeping the numbers fairly well balanced across the all 10 scholarship players. Still no Lobach, though.

 

[knights1212]

I already stated Lobach is injured and may be out a long time.

Ugh, missed that. Tough to be injured on a trip like this.

Highlights

 

[Local Shill]

We still don’t know how Docoure will fit into this mix. I tend to see him playing 10-12 minutes a game, tops.

 

[RUJMM78]

Maybe but this is the new distance they'll be using during the NCAA season.

Rutgers was a mediocre 3 point shooting team last year which has more relevance than moving the distance ,

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Pretend these games didn’t happen. Don’t make ANY conclusions off these games.

Tend to agree. This trip is much more about team building rather than building one's game.

 

[Scangg]

I'll take the under barring injuries. I see us going smaller with Myles and Carter taking the lion's share of the true big minutes and Harper and Yeboah getting time at the 4 too
