Dusty with 3 FT misses. That may not happen again all year

[Pigasaurus]

1 for 18 on 3 pointers??? Jeez, people from the crowd shooting from halfcourt would have a higher percentage than 6%.

[Swinesong1]

I only hope Bailey doesn't get disgruntled. Very productive in only five minutes tho.

Yeah that was ugly. Definitely more talent than last year especially at the 4 spot.

Still managed to win by 27.  Hopefully that says something positive about our scoring inside the arc.

Duke (preseason #1) won by a 31pt margin but looked absolutely horrid against ciaa Virginia State U ....what is going on with teams tonight

[PonderinHog]

Barford's eight rebounds looks interesting.  Hannahs' floater must have been working.

[Danny J]

Rusty...will work into a rhythm. Have to hope it comes soon. A lot of new pieces...only 2 starters that played for us last year.

[TheRazorback500]

One good thing was they didn't have a whole lot of turnovers. Beard, Kingsley, and Hannahs each played 20 or more minutes without any. Over 70% from the line is encouraging, also.

Love that dagger floater!

At least the three point streak is still alive!  Crap, that was close!   :razorback:

I hope we see a lot of that this year.

Florida trailed Division II Eckerd College at the half before pulling away in the 2nd half.

#9 MSU lead the Northwood Timberwolves??? 48-35 at the half.

[azhog10]

Very close friend of mine is an assistant at Northwood. Good program but yeah, that's a shocker.

[azhog10]

Win by 27 and outscored by 24 from three. Kind of an odd stat but only giving up 29 in a half is pretty decent defense for our tempo.

[Letsroll1200]

Watkins energy and his unselfishness is going to get him in that first 5.

[Dominicanhog]

10 pts and 9 rebs and great defense won't hurt either..

[Dominicanhog]

amazing to me we still shot almost 50% from the field with 1 of 18 from 3... also shot 72% from the lie with Dusty missing 3 times...

[The Hogfather]

Florida trailed Division II Eckerd College at the half before pulling away in the 2nd half.

Allen:  4-10, 0-3 from 3, 3 turnovers.  Looks familiar.

[The_Iceman]

I like him in the 2nd 5 off the bench. But, he will likely be in the group finishing the game, which is more important than who starts.

[Kevin]

50 points in the paint. very nice

[Kevin McPherson]

Through 4 games in Spain, the R/W game, and now the first of 2 exhibition games, the thing that stands out the most to me is the depth and production in the backcourt. Last year, once you got past the starting trio of Dusty, Bell, and Durham, the guard play on the 2nd unit was average at best.

Barford and Macon are doing enough of everything to complement Dusty in the starting lineup so that there's not much if any dropoff from the departures of Bell and Durham. BUT, Beard and Manny are much improved over a year ago, then a guy like CJ Jones has proven to be an offensive punch off the bench so far.

If you add up those 6 "games", Beard is leading the Hogs in assists, assist-to-turnover ratio, and steals ... that's what he's got to give us consistently = more facilitator and less looking to get his own.

agree on Beard being a facilitator, and depth at guard.... but I also think our rebounding and defense both in the paint and on the parameter are far better and a key to a strong year... Manny looks like the sr leadership every great team needs...
