FloHoops/Sports is the Can't State of sports streaming services.

Seeing the plan and executing the plan are two different challenges. Quite frankly, most teams should be able to shut down a 6'7" post player just based on sheer size difference, but they don't 95% of the time. I also trust that the coaching staff and Enrique will identify this "flaw" and work hard to limit its effect on Enrique's overall production. Making our perimeter shots will also go a long way towards opening up the game for Enrique.

I don't know if that point was missed. I think what @Reslife4Life was getting at was when the ball is inevitably forced out of X/Enrique's hands, it isn't finding its way into the hands of a player that dribbled the air out of the ball for the remainder of the shot clock, only to put up a circus shot half the time. I recall having to win last year with rebounding and scrappy defense because of wasted possessions by Ali Ali's isolation habits. You named 2-3 players that the ball is finding (add Nate Johnson into that discussion as well), and it's up to them to start making the shots. But those aren't necessarily bad possessions vs. an isolation possession where the ball doesn't move. I agree with Reslife that the offense does indeed look better, we just need to start capitalizing on the improved flow and make our shots. Looking at the box score from Nevada's game against KSU, they were out-rebounded 36-22, although they do average 37 RPG. This should be a good game. I wish we had Dawson for this game (I wish we had Dawson in general), as Nevada is BIG at guard (6'6" and 6'4" for their main guards).

3 QBs from the MAC selected. In addition, our friend Terrell Buckley is coaching the Orlando squad. It will be interesting to see if this becomes a true middle tier of football that can give guys one more chance at the NFL dream.

KSU is up 9 with 37 seconds left in OT. We get our revenge opportunity (as I aptly predicted because I definitely knew that Nevada/KSU hadn't played yet).

I echo this sentiment. Time for revenge on the wolfpack.

Death... Taxes... and... Sammy Hunter for 3 No Good Guarantees in life.

6 pt game with 8 minutes to go. LET'S GO ZIPS!

Practice minutes and game minutes are two completely different things. We're seeing that today.

Mississippi State just beat Shaka's Marquette squad.

Kowalchoke will probably bribe for more votes despite the result today.

Barring an epic collapse from Kansas State, our 3rd game will be against one of Nevada (MWC) or Kansas State (Big 12). This is the best OOC we've ever had (that I can remember), and we've done well to handle our business against the mid-majors. Would love to knock off LSU tomorrow. I truly believe the Mississippi State game is different if we didn't play an OT game against a great opponent 4 days prior. The blowout result was most likely due to fatigue and dead legs more than anything. Having to play a very scrappy Morgan State squad 4 days later did not bode well, either. We saw today what we're capable of with fresher legs. I would imagine tomorrow is much closer than the Mississippi State game was in the second half. Geaux Zips!

Will the Beacon get it right this time? Big win. Did WKU really have preseason top 25 votes?

17 point lead with 1:20 left!

32-30 at the half, Akron leads.

Or if you want to be someone else, be Reggie Miller.

10 pts already for Freeman.

We are rebounding well given the size difference.

2 fouls on the human skyscraper.

Another 3! WE FOUND THE OCEAN THIS TRIP!

Speaking of sound, compared to the WWII Fireside Chat TV audio, we've finally made our way into the Vietnam War era radio sound. Quite the improvement.

NATE JOHNSON! 3!

Akron going right at the big man early so far.

Our game isn't supposed to start until 1:30 anyways. Anybody know if FloSports offers a New Big East Member discount? 😉
