MBB vs Eastern Washington - SamuelMcF - 11-14-2017
Up 9-2 early in the 1st. Freshmen all looking pretty good.
We have 3 scholarship players out with injury: Pickens, Pugh, and Sheffield. Hoping the guys stay foul-free.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - SamuelMcF - 11-14-2017
I jinxed it. Travis has 2 fouls in the first 7 minutes. We still can't figure out zone d. Still up 13-11 but feels like we're losing.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Spiny_Norman - 11-14-2017
Pickens, Pugh, and Sheffield all have foot injuries. EWU seems to have paid attention to UoP's 2nd half comeback vs. Stanford on Sunday. They have played mostly zone. Stanford has had trouble attacking it. I don't think I have seen Stanford make a jump shot through the first 12 minutes.
Notes - EWU's coach is former C.al PG Shantay Legens. Their starters included players from Ukraine (last year's Big Sky PoY), Lithuania, and Serbia.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Spiny_Norman - 11-14-2017
Stanford made exactly 1 FG from outside the paint in the 1H. Pickens really missed.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - CompSci87 - 11-14-2017
I gave up and turned it off with Stanford down 10, having shot 1-10 from 3-point range while Eastern Europe Washington shot 10-22.

Tough to win when you have a combination of not being able to defend the perimeter and not being able to score on the perimeter.Â
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Spiny_Norman - 11-14-2017
Daejon Davis 0-5 from the field, 4 TOs. He looks disinterested. Da Silva on the other hand has been relentless. 12 points and 17 boards so far.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Papa John - 11-15-2017
Watching last night's game gave me painful flashbacks to 1981-82. The good news is that the team will get better with the return of Pickens and Sheffield.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - martyup - 11-15-2017
Well, that was nice of us to give them their first win over a Pac-12 team in 15 years. ::)
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - burger - 11-15-2017
I watched most of the game but turned it off with 10 minutes to go after EWU's umpteenth 3-pointer (they only hit 11, but it felt like a million). The optimist in me thinks that 3 games in 5 days plus injuries to 2 starters and a backup made this an aberration. The pessimist wonders why Davis, who I'm sure has a lot of upside but maybe isn't quite ready yet, is starting over Cartwright and why Travis and Humphreys are taking so many 3 pointers when they're far more effective inside.
Let's hope for better things on Friday.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Papa John - 11-15-2017
From what I could gather, we were shooting three-pointers because our players were open. They just couldn't make many (an understatement).
Teams will play zone against us until we can make our outside shots.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - oldalum - 11-15-2017
I thought this year we were going to have improved outside shooting?! Hope this game is an aberration.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - BobK - 11-15-2017
Terrible performance of course.Â
I will point out missing 6 players of the 13
Walker retired
Kezie not eligible
Sheffield Pickens and Pugh hurt
Stanback had his warnups on the whole game
That left the gang that can't shoot straightÂ
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - Phogge - 11-15-2017
They don't remotely have a guy who can take over a game against a good team. It's been a long time.
Re: MBB vs Eastern Washington - teejers1 - 11-15-2017
And Maples was as dead as I've ever seen the place. That was both alarming and sad.
For all the LSJUMB detractors, I'll say it again: w/o the band, Stanford's student support at hoops games would be nonexistent and the place really could double as a morgue.
P.S. Walker . . . retired? Not sure how that one escaped me.

At the under 12:00 timeout in the first half, there were 18 people in the student section.
Operations personnel went around to spectators in the upper sections telling them they could move down to the student section. There weren't many takers.
Agree 100% on the LSJUMB; it's too bad the marketing folks prefer the canned music, up close and personal videos (did you know Trevor Stanback likes pizza and ice cream?!?), and Theo.
Make some noise!

Aahhhhhh, pining for the good old days...back when we could all just heap mountains of abuse on Johnny D and leave it at that.Â
Times were simpler then...

Dawkins earned it.
Too early to know if Haase will get the same treatment. If he doesn't get some wing guys who are a) healthy and b) can hit a shot, he'll get his.

Seems to me that the last three halves [halfs?] played are pretty much indistinguishable from Dawkins-ball at its nadir. Sure, there are injuries now, but there were back then as well.

Seems to me that you could pick an arbitrary three halves of football (say the whole OSU game and first half of the game against WSU) and it would be pretty much indistinguishable from Buddy-ball at its nadir.
I think Haase has a lot to prove. An outcome not all that much different from Dawkins is definitely possible, but it seems that if we gave Dawkins the greater part of a decade before concluding he wasn't an option, we ought to give Haase at least half as much.
