    Re: 11/13 Centenary College game

    Dawgs played a good game and it was a lot of fun to be there.Announced attendance was 3900+ & if you see some photos you'll see it was a good turnout. If the game had been on Tuesday or Thursday I bet we'd have been close to 5000. At times the crowd was really "in" to the game but we're still need to grow our home court advantage. Staying away from Wednesday games will help.

    Having said that, I bet we bust 5k when we play USL/ULL on Wed Dec 4.

    Re: 11/13 Centenary College game

    My only complaint is with the new scoreboard on floor level. I couldn't read the stats on the board because the Regal Blues were standing in the way. Is that really a complaint? Nevermind I would rather see the Regal Blues.

    The official attendance last night was 3,942. Last year's season opener against UALR (also a Wednesday night game) was 2,465.

    The new Paul Millsap Vision at the TAC will grow the home court advantage a lot.

    How many do we now need to win in a row against Centenary to have a winning record?

    Very good student turnout even though it's finals week.

    We controlled the game and obviously blew them out based upon talent differential. But, this team is much better with Speedy. Our transition game was hindered, plus he is pivotal as the spearhead of our press. With Speedy, I'd imagine we would've gotten 5 more steals and 5 more dunks.

    I'd rather have them there than in front of the students.

    I'm going to have to disagree to a point. I don't know that we're better with Speedy, and I love, love, love Speedy. He brings the defensive edge that Alex hasn't developed yet, but his lack of offensive production makes defending us much easier. I think what Alex brings to the offense over Speedy is greater than what we lose on the defensive front. Speedy can't score like Alex and other teams know it. To be honest, I'm happy either way. I don't think there'd be that big of a difference-just swapping out poisons. One thing is I don't think Raheem gets his points with Alex playing that he gets with Speedy, so that could affect his mentality as the season wears on if he's not getting his baskets. But, like I said, I'm happy either way-just think we're better overall with Alex starting.

    I also thought this was a good game for Gibby to continue to develop and get confidence. We need a few more like this. I guarantee you this wasn't the same team that showed up at St. Mary's. I don't know if it was just because that we were that much better or that Centenary has declined that much or both, but we looked really good, I thought.

    I see what you're saying, and in some games I think it holds up. In this particular game, we could've forced more turnovers and had more buckets in transition with Speedy. Also, against St Mary's (and towards the end of last season) White started Speedy and Alex. His starting line-up has been: Speedy, Heem, Alex, Chris, and Michale.

    I thought our defense was awful the first half--especially in the halfcourt. It would be cool to see White run platoon-substitution with Kenyon, CJ, JJ, Massey, along with either Speedy or Alex at the point. Gibby was WAY bigger than anybody on Centenary. I think he developed some confidence, but shoots the ball from too low and is slow to help on defense. Stojan, however, showed he might be the best interior passer on our team. He got some good minutes.

    You're right, they didn't have their starting point guard against Centenary. I don't think people realize how good St. Mary's is. And yes, Centenary has declined that much, they're now a division III program.

    Oh, I know how good St. Mary's is. I was telling my wife and son who they were when they saw them on the schedule. We obviously didn't shoot as well against St. Mary's from the foul line. That alone would've made a big difference. Centenary hasn't dropped down to DIII have they or are you just being a smartass?

    They're DIII. I don't think they even give athletic scholarships.

    Wow. Tells you how much I've kept up. Why is that not a exhibition game then?
