U of Mary Game Thread

[BTownJack]

Well, seems as though no one has bothered starting a thread for this game. Maybe all the weekend's activities made people overlook the fact the man are opening up their regular season tonight. I for one am really excited to take in the game and hopefully we blow this team right out of Frost!

Re: U of Mary Game Thread

I've heard that Dale Moss is going to likely red-shirt. As been stated before on this board, Casey is also likely to get a red-shirt. Who will be in the starting five is a question mark at this point.

I'm also excited to see Cassidy play tonight as he was dinged up for the DWU exhibition game. I believe he's available tonight unless he is also a candidate for a red-shirt.

I'll give you my thoughts on the game after I return to Frost. Until then, I hope there is someone on here with radio/web access that will keep you all posted.

Re: U of Mary Game Thread

Looks like no plays being run again tonight. I saw one play, actually, coming out of a timeout and it resulted in a layup for Williams. No point giving away any sets against this team.

Re: U of Mary Game Thread

This is a very sloppy game.

23-13 with under six minutes left in the half.

Re: U of Mary Game Thread

They are still missing to many lay-ups and point blank shots....

Re: U of Mary Game Thread

It has to be tough: You drill these guys in practice, running set plays on every possession. Then, for an exhibition and now a season opener, you say "forget the plays". No wonder the play is awkward. About all you can really work on is defense, and the D looks OK. Granted, there aren't any players on Mary that one would confuse for, say, a Bison player.

I gotta say, I've played and coached a little basketball in my day, granted none of it at the level SDSU is, and I haven't really heard of "saving" offensive sets or plays for later in the year. Maybe I'm naive. Repetition is perhaps the best way to learn and there is no better setting than the "real" game to "practice". I guess I'm saying that I don't buy the not giving up any sets against these teams argument. Just my opinion. I've added plays or changed sets during the year but I think thats different than what has been implied here. No excuses for me, just beat these guys and beat them badly like we should expect.
