I didn't see a thread.
I'm also late to the party. Dawgs lead by 5 at half, 39-34. Our two bigs, Powell and Muhammed, have 18 points and 6 boards at the half. That's a 180 from SFA. Derric Jean seems to be out of the lineup tonight. I am not sure about that one. I also see where MSVST is shooting close to 60% from three point land while we're shooting close to 10% from beyond the arc.
I hope we heat up in the second half, but we're only playing with 7 guys it seems ??
15:54 -
52-40 - Dawgs. Powell with 12 points and 5 boards.
Pemberton with a double-double 13 pts, 12 rebounds, Tech up 66-51 with 10:20 to play.
7:42
72-62 Dawgs.
Devils keeping it close. Those SWAC teams go through hell with their schedules to start the year, so you never know which night you'll catch them on. Simmons for them has only missed one shot. We should close this easily though. Our bigs are playing strong.
Can't get any stops, Valley scoring every trip. Dawgs by 11 2:51 left
2:50 remaining...
The Devils keeping it close. Dawgs up 86-75.
Bracey has 22/7a. Powell has 19/7. Pemberton has 13/12. Muhammed has 10/4
96-80 - Dawgs Win!
It wasn't the best defensive effort, but you gotta take the victory.
Bracey had 24, Powell had 22, Duruji, Muhammed, Langston, and Pemberton had double figures with Pemberton also having a double double.
96-80 Final
Shot FTs well tonite, and needed 'em too.
Dawgs shot 25 of 29 86% from the FT line. That's more like it!
Powell bounced back with a very good night, 22 pts, after struggling at SFA.
Good job Dawgs!
Jean is out “at least” until 12/29, the conference opener.
Is anyone left on the team? Good grief.
Sad. We are struggling against THIS team? Our AD still charging $18 for tix or did we play in Itta Bena?
Hey that's not fair. There are at least 4 teams worse than MVSU! Well worth the price of admission.Quote:

Actual attendance, anyone ??
Maybe a 1,000
Had a 16 pt lead midway thru second half and the refs woke up and decided the game was about them, if they stay consistent and call the game like they did the first 30 minutes we win by 30+
I don’t mind bad refs, as long as they call a consistent game one way for 40 minutes, it’s when they do an about face 30 minutes into a game it gets under my skin
This team is trying to find its way since it looks like Criston and Jean are both gone for the year due to health issues
JP and Day Day both played over 35 minutes tonite
Down to 4 guards
Yikes! What happened to Jean?
Unfortunately this season is starting to play out a lot like last season... First Harris then DayDay then Joniah... First Christon now Jean next _____?
:(
Is it grades?Quote:

We have another post saying Jean is back by the year's end. I have heard zero updates on Criston. Missing both will be very, very difficult to replace.
That's ok, this is another rebuilding year. We're well on track of getting back into the Dance by 2050.
Dave in broadcast before the game said Jean could be gone for the year; after the game he said back “no sooner that December 29th”. Big disparity I know.
Criston is being “monitored”, literally 24/7, for another couple of weeks and will then be re-evaluated. Based upon the initial incident they were concerned he was done for the year, but apparently there have been no further episodes. Still can be gone for the year, but TBD
Criston is heart related issues - still wearing the monitor right now
Jean's is leg issue - he has not bounced back from the injury and is not recovering well
That's TWO captains - forget what they bring to the team physically and in the box scaore - losing two captains like this also has an emotional effect on a team
Dang
The heart issue is a gut punch. I've known people who passed out on the court, wore the monitor, and then came back with no issues, ever. Hopefully that is the deal with Criston.Quote:

Our MBB program is cursed.
Sure feels like it sometimes and I don’t get the feeling that admin is at all concerned with changing the juju.Quote:

We put guys right in their faces and they continued hitting the 3's. We would have beat them 8 out of 10 games but that night was theirs.
So I really don't care what Santa Clara won by. We won our game.
