Game 1- Louisiana

[kreed5120]

Have to like where we're sitting. Louisiana is playing a tighter bench. Really have a chance of really blowing this open if they have tired legs sit in.

Barre started, but then didn’t see much of him. Pretty good chemistry already for so many new guys.

Didn't you hear? Akron is supposed to suck this year, too. Not a single vote to win the MAC. 

They're picked third in the conference poll.

He had 2 fouls. No need to risk him picking up his 3rd.

No 1st place votes and zero tourney champion picks.

Eastern Michigan made their free throws down the stretch to eke out a win over Coastal Carolina.  Assuming Georgia Southern holds on to beat Ball State (up 11 with 24 seconds left), the MAC is gonna start off 4-3 in this competition, with our game and several others still going on.

Not bad for a competition we have yet to win and are starting on the road.

A few sloppy, ill-advised passes, but that’s to be expected in the season opener.

Really struggling against the 1-3-1. Outside of tahjs 3s it’s been a slow stretch

Refs were so quick to blow the whistle on 3s for Louisiana earlier and Staveskie legitimately lands on the defender on a 3P and no call. Garbage.

[csims0917]

So sloppy. Come guys let’s pull away 

[csims0917]

Is anyone going to escape this game at 100%?

This zone is really giving us fits

[UAZippers]

Ballhandling has been weak. You just cant let the other team poke the ball out as your dribbling and its been happening all game.

It's 4 on 5 with Halligan out there. Not to beat a dead horse but..

[csims0917]

Gotta solve this zone. That Mahaffey foul felt like our first try at the basket in ages

Looked like he was grabbing him on the way down the floor and Chabi took the bait.
