GDT: When the Saints come marching to Frost

[OldHare]

Presentation Saints are on the MBB menu today. Another shout out to the IUPUI Jags as they bolt to the middle of the Horizon. I would say this is a great day to get the bench some playing time, but the Jackrabbits are likely to give a thumping today as Theisen may get a cameo today. Hopefully Howell gets back to healthier as well. A cold day like this one may shrink the crowd with the Saints. Go Jacks!!

Re: GDT: When the Saints come marching to Frost

Because of IUPUI this game probably couldn't be avoided, but in general I'd rather lose five percent of games to local D2 teams like USF, Augie or Northern (plus they might bring fans) than be fooling around with the NAIA, Don't think Concordia WAS a last second add.

I'm going to guess TJ and the rest of the staff would disagree.

Agree. A loss to a D2 team no matter how good would be bad come March.

I think they've played more D2 than NAIA teams since transitioning.

What bench?

You're point?

I don't care if we play a D2 or NAIA team, but we can't afford to a lose to a team like that whether that's Augie or Presentation...not even 5% of those games.

I'm not sure why we don't play Augie, USF, etc. I'm guessing it isn't because we are afraid of them.

Re: GDT: When the Saints come marching to Frost

I guess the Jacks will just have to get popular enough - or wealthy enough - to afford to bring in better teams for home games. Adding a couple more teams to the Summit League would help beef up the schedule. So would adding and expanding scheduling agreements with other mid-major conferences, such as the one that SDSU and three other Summit teams have with the Big Sky.

Re: GDT: When the Saints come marching to Frost

I'm hoping for a big win today, no player injuries, and that no Jacks' fans get frozen going to the game at Frost. Maybe there's some timely cheering potential in the nasty weather. "Go, Jacks! Give 'em the old Frost bite!" I'll be quiet now.

Jacks only have 6 players available for the first half. King, Key and Howell were late for a film session and are not playing until the second half. Jenkins,Jr. will play the point. Theisen is available.

That hurts. Go, Jacks. Frost bite 'em.

I really like how TJ doesn't bend his rules for anyone. Sure it hurts today, but it makes the team stronger in the long run

Daum may set a school record for most shots in the paint. Presentation has no size.

Re: GDT: When the Saints come marching to Frost

TJ still making his point to start the second half - all 3 of the suspended players on the bench. Jenkins,Jr. has been impressive running the point.

Final 111- 68. Good tuneup win for the Jacks, short bench or not. On to NDSU. Kick the Bison's rear and take names.
