Re: GDT: Oral Bob @ Jackrabbits

Why do we have no one who is willing to shoot a WIDE open 6-8’ jumpshot?!

I'm liking what Key brings against the zone.

Re: GDT: Oral Bob @ Jackrabbits

We play awful against teams that are longer and more athletic than us. Missouri State was the same way.

Brandon Key with 3 straight assists.

Oral Roberts is legit. Key brought us back in that one and scored exactly 0 points.

Excellent recovery. Big-time credit to Key for stepping up after several games on the shelf. He's definitely a weapon for certain situations.

ORU is legit - size and they play the zone very well. Do they have the energy it requires to keep it up for another 20 minutes? Can they stay out of foul trouble? Those are two things that might bite them, but I'm impressed so far. They had us looking hesitant and lost for 17:00.

35-34 Jacks at halftime.

Daum heated up and Brandon Key came in and gave us a spark. Nice to see Key play and play well.

Also, did Javon White grow a couple inches in the offseason? I swear he was a 6'7" / 6'8" last season, but the announcers keep saying he's 6'10" and quite frankly, he looks like it.

Re: GDT: Oral Bob @ Jackrabbits

Key's energy, some decent defense, plus the rest of the guys kind of figuring out the zone in the last five mins of the half make me feel a little better about the second half.

We sure look gassed at half though.

Jenkins,Jr. seemed to not be very active - not very often he plays 18 minutes and only puts up 3 shots. Is Severyn available ? He usually doesn't go a half without playing at all.

Looked like we were playing with a greased watermelon out there. Surprised college players struggle attacking a zone. Like they are afraid to get in the middle of it. You need to so it will colaplse so you can attack it cutting and pushing the ball out for the 3. Those are higher percentage shots. When you just swing around the 3 pt line and launch it that's a low percentage shot.

Re: GDT: Oral Bob @ Jackrabbits

Starters, except for King, played 18 or 19 minutes in that half.

It's different when that zone is run by a long and athletic team. I think it makes perfect sense that it took us awhile to adjust.

Hopefully Telly is okay.
