Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

[Southeast]

Basketball is back tonight! Preseason game vs. Moorhead listed at 6:30 on Gojacks.com. It looks like there will be audio coverage only, which seemed like it was the case for preseason games last year. Come on media department - would it kill you to hook this up!

As always, it will be neat to see how the new players are used. Larson and Selland are especially intriguing. They have two exhibition games to get a few things worked out and then need to get to work.

Re: Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

Should be a great game for the girls. Moorhead actually has a very quality team (picked to win the NSIC) with the NSIC player of the year. They also appear to have a surprising amount of size for a D2 team with two starters over 6'2". Definitely a better quality of exhibition team than what we normally play. Will be great to see the new players and how they handle the college game. Also curious to see how Stevens looks after 2 years off of playing basketball.

Six votes for the Jacks in the first USA Today Coaches Poll. The potential is definitely high for what appears likely to be our deepest lineup in several years.

Jacks start Alexander, Guebert, Miller, Larson and Thompson.

Re: Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

Nice to see that they don't feel any need to hold Miller back.

Irwin, Selland and Stevens are the first off the bench.

Handling a pretty good DII team pretty well. Irwin scored right away, Selland got a couple O rebounds, drew a foul and scored.

Jacks up 41-31 a half. The Jacks had led by 13 a couple of times, but the Dragons got the score within a basket at one point in second quarter.

Jacks not shooting really that well.considering we had 21 more shot attempts than the Dragons the first half.Maddie took awhile to warm up,but it doesn't take her long to get her numbers right when she's dialed in.Dragons shooting better than us,but far fewer attempts, so they have to.We own the offensive boards (11-1).We got way more steals due to having slightly better athletes on the floor,which is as it should be.

Re: Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

We have a lot of weapons..., 4 in double figures,finished game shooting 47% from 37% the first half.Jensen's good,first we've seen her,super freshmen,Chynna's great...everyone came through really.Good first exhibition game.Not seeing the game,wonder how the freshmen will play defense at Div 1 level,not worried about the offense so much...but Ober and Kerrie as starters played very good defense last year,I'm sure we'll play just as well this year defensively though (coaches will demand it),maybe better,we'll see.Flaata missed game,banged up a little, but expected back in a couple wks.This team can be explosive when everyone's playing well,can make up a defecit fast when that happens,or really extend a lead or create one.

Jacks win 93-58. A good start to the season.

Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

I'm surprised by Irwin's quick start to the season - she looks so skinny and had a less hype than the other freshmen. Very nice.

AJ mentioned that Selland relaxed in the second half and showed off her skills. He also said that having Miller at the 3 is a bit of a trial. Lots of options.

I was hoping Bultsma might get involved early - a sign that AJ sees her as ready to go. She might not be there yet. We could use a taller defensive post to make up for a little of the loss of Ober.

Maybe it was just a preseason experiment, but it was interesting to see the Sydneys coming off the bench after Selland and Irwin. Now there's some depth!

Re: Preseason game #1 vs Moorhead

Points off turnovers was 41-6 in Jacks favor. That'll work.
