Game Thread: Basketball Week 2

[wildturkey]

Hokies 2-1 heading into the week. Barksdale comes back from suspension this week.

11/18 vs VMI 7pm on ESPN3

11/22 vs Michigan St in Brooklyn NY 9:30pm on TruTV

11/23 is to be determined, also in Brooklyn. It's some sort of charity tournament I'm too lazy to look up all the details but hokiesports says it'll be on TruTV at some point that day.

Consolation game is at 7pm, Championship game is 9:30 pm. Might as well set your DVR for 7:00pm.

I think we could definitely go 2-1 this week. VMI should be a W.

Michigan State is almost an automatic loss. Right now I am just hoping we play them tough. It should be a good learning experience for a young team.

I'm guessing Oklahoma is going to beat Seton Hall, so we'll probably end up playing Seton Hall. I'd say this game is a toss up with Seton Hall having the edge on this one.

We've been terrible on offense so far, just standing around doing nothing.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Holy shit, don't go under a screen on a three point shooter!

 

[Ragingcroc]

Looking a lot better on offense after I made the above post. A lot of good ball movement and shooting off of screens. Too bad we can't seem to get into the paint more often against a small ball VMI team. Adam Smith isn't good at defense though.

 

[wildturkey]

Hitting a lot of 3s tonight. I don't think Eddie has missed yet. Also, Emelogu is already our best player. In two years, this kid could be a beast.

 

[wildturkey]

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. This game should be decided by now and we've let VMI back in it

 

[wildturkey]

Ok, this is just fucking stupid. It's down to 8 with a 1:30 left and could be less after some dumb turnovers

ANOTHER TO! WHAT THE FUCK

Have any of these kids never seen a full court press in their life? FUCK

But the best way to beat a full court press is to just throw the ball up in air!

 

[wildturkey]

Unbelievable. We almost turned it over again because Eddie let the trap come to him instead of moving or passing the ball. This is so stupid. I have no expectations for this team but this is beyond words.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Do we get free tacos for keeping VMI under 100?

 

[wildturkey]

Whew. VT wins 105-92. But seriously, the last 4 minutes was so fucking stupid its laughable. Whatever. Growing pains I guess. smh

Kind of excited about the Michigan State game. I plan on hitting a bar just to be the only Hokie fan there.

If we can stay within 30 pts, the bar should let you drink free

To be fair, we have been able to score pretty well, just not stop people from scoring.

I decided to stay home instead and watch it with my buddy captain morgan.

Seton Hall up on Oklahoma 67-64 with 7:14

 

[Ragingcroc]

Looks like we will probably play Oklahoma on Saturday.

 

[Ragingcroc]

This game better not fucking go into overtime. I have a flight tomorrow.
