Opening Week

[Redbirdgrad]

Feels great to get hoops season started! Excited to see if the league can play off of Loyola's run last year. As a Bears fan, very optimistic w/ Dana Ford. He is bringing a new excitement to the area.

Dana Ford is 100% a class act. I remember rebounding for him early mornings when he was putting work in, in the East Gym on campus. Many, many good discussions with this dude. You'll love him over there.

Outside of ISUb and WSU, a very nice opening night for the Valley.

Oh, and I forgot a game.

FRIDAY
Shockers vs Providence

Gotta like Wichita’s chances - CUSA teams are off the schedule.

You know Wichita State isn't in the Valley anymore right?

But, it's fun watching them sink in oblivion. It's like when your ex-girlfriend trades down

No...I don’t pay attention during offseason. Is this a new thing this year?

Fairly certain my girlfriend couldn't trade down. I'm pretty much the bottom of the barrel.

The Redbirds showed last night they can play generally poorly on both sides of the ball and still grab a W. If they play like they did last night against good, disicplined teams it'll be a looooong season.

They didn't execute well but pulled off a 74-66 win over FGCU. Phil Fayne, Milik Yarbrough, and Josh Jefferson all scored 17, while Fayne also collected 11 rebounds (one-third of the team's total rebounds). The way Jefferson shoots the ball through the first three games makes me think come MVC play he will need to be on scouting reports similar to Jordan Barnes over at ISUb.

Surprise of the night was the rotation that Muller settled into. The seven that played at least 20 minutes were Copeland, Jefferson, Evans, Fayne, Yarbs, Tinsley, and Hein. Ike Gassman is a sophomore walk-on, started and played 18 minutes. Loyola transfer Matt Chastain and freshman big man Rey Idowu only played two and four minutes, respectively. FGCU didn't have a ton of (bulk) size, which is probably why Rey was out. Chastain just seemed to be the odd man out this go-round. The 8 man rotation will be largely dependent on the team the Birds play. If a team has a Shaq Morris or Greg Echinique, Rey will get minutes.

I really admire guys who know their limitations.

I sense a connection. A spark perhaps

Since Shocker fans still frequent the site I guess we should add that Wichita state loses to LA Tech at home tonight, just hate to see it

Obviously, they don't care about winning. They're dragging down the conference.
