Captain Kangaroo Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Washington Generals of D-1 basketball arrive at the JAR Saturday night. Not a juggernaut by any stretch. Hope they don't press us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I had that thought in 2010 also.... And then they came here and took us to Overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I had that thought in 2010 also.... And then they came here and took us to Overtime. True. But now we're starting Ibitayo and Betancourt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 True. But now we're starting Ibitayo and Betancourt. Interesting. We were "experimenting" with guard combinations back then too. We were starting Abreu and playing McNees at the off-guard, and bringing Darryl Roberts off the bench. It didn't last long. Thank God. We ended up winning a title by putting Steve back to the point, and starting Darryl again. Maybe a similar outcome will eventually come out of this situation also.

Jalapeño Zippy Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I see they have a couple of kids from Toledo on their roster and one from Akron. That caught me a little by suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 They beat up pretty badly on Trinity Baptist and Trinity College, so thank goodness we're not Trinity Akron. I took a quick look at all their team and player stats, and none are worth mentioning. I apologize if anyone suffers from DiG stats withdrawal prior to this game.

I took a quick look at all their team and player stats, and none are worth mentioning. I apologize if anyone suffers from DiG stats withdrawal prior to this game. Very disappointed in the lack of stats you provided. I also checked out their web site and came up with three notable stats: 11, 3 and 1&1. 11 - They only have an eleven man roster. We should be able to run them out of gas. 3 - These guys are Road Warriors; only 3 of their first 12 games have been played at home. 1&1 - Looking at the players photos it becomes apparent that they must be a close-knit group because they only had one white shirt and one tie that they all shared on photo day.

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 While not a statistic, I found it interesting that Malik Jackson won the on-campus "Sherman Hemsley Look-alike Contest" held last May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Been a while since you have had your eyeglass prescription checked? Hey, I don't make the rules. Receding hairline is, by definition, Sherman Hemsley. It's the "Look-alike Law." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Last year we lost to Coastal Carolina and Detroit. We can lose to any team... And both were very good basketball teams. Detroit actually had some top shelf talent on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akzipper Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 We should be blowing this team out of the gym. We are being embarrassed right now by one of the worst teams in D1.

It usually takes more than 7 minutes to blow a team out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be up by 50 at the half instead of just leading by 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
