If either isn't playing I would bet heavily on another loss. If both are a go then we win going away.
Even if both Ben and Thomas are playing, this leadership and this team have given me no confidence against any opponent right now. Not to mention, Jacksonville State lost on a buzzer beater at Wichita St.
Jacksonville St. 70
Valpo 60
Vegas finally setting a line that Valpo may cover......or will they. So far the Beacons have been underachieving based on Vegas lines, going 0-3 ATS.
0-3 is also our record.
I think we cover this. They are a A-Sun team......
My source says both are playing. I'll see how good my source is. Go Valpo. I'll continue to be optimistic through November.
I hate these MTEs that are on Flo Hoops. Drives me nuts.

You have to sign up for a year at $12 a month or a bunch up front for a year. Rediculous

Radio for me.
I see where the Drexel / Tulane game is in delay with Tulane ahead. Not sure now when Valpo game will start. Does anyone have any info on what the problem is and when Valpo will play?

Thanks Valpo LI. went to the tulane fan website and saw the same
Crazy things are happening in the Triangle!!!
First ACU has to pull out and Valpo gets paired with Jacksonville St.
Now Zeus is flexing his mighty muscles and knocking on the roof.
Next you'll tell me the 0-3 Beacons will shine their light bright and win the whole MTE!
-I love it
Go Beacons ;D

If divine intervention is our only hope I'll be glad to accept it. :)
Looks like it is moving to the practice court, with Drexel/Tulane starting at 8 pm EDT. We would play after that finishes.

Frustrating because I bought the flohoops and THEN they announced the court change....
Ugh....
6:20 left in 2nd half

Going to OT
The flipping game just went to overtime. Our game probably starts at 8:10 central.
First rain delay in VU MBB history.

Guess who Back!!!
And he has Valpo's first 6 points :thumbsup:
Once again, where is the 3 point defense??? Letting one of their bench players hit 4 3s in the first 10 minutes,,,
Jax State shooting 7-15 from 3. There's that bad luck again!
Todd is getting excited.
Huge win. :clap: :clap:
When does King start?
Anderson has a nose for the ball. Hustler.
Glad your Back Ben Krikke!!!
25 POINTS!!!!!
What a stud!
FINALLY!!! What we all have been waiting for, having Ben an Thomas in the game together! Great win against a very good team. Would anybody trade Daniel Sackey for Trevor Anderson? The future returns to bright!
Good win. Krikke and Barrett. A big difference. Lets all be patient until King gets eligible.
It took a little longer because of Kithier's foul trouble in the first half, but the combination of Kithier and Krikke produced 22 points in the second half. Look forward to seeing the Special K lineup of Kithier, Krikke, and King. Speaking of Ks: Kudos to the team on lack of turnovers as well, committing only 6. Finally, this was the way to perform to close a game, outscoring JSU 18-9 following the last media timeout!
FREAKIN' BEACONS win their 1st game :thewave: GO VALPO The Brown has turned to Gold :dance:
Ben Krikke is a stud, maybe his best game defensively at Valpo, nevermind the 25 points. Great job holding onto the ball this game. Defense overall was better too. Trevor Anderson knows how to play the game, props to him hitting the boards. Hope Kithier bounces back tomorrow.
Nothing like a well played team victory over a good opponent to raise the spirits. Now let's get on a roll! :thumbsup:
Good. I hope it's the first of many. Glad Ben is back. Maybe we can win this thing. But for right now it's on to the next.
At last, a win!! Really dialed up the D in the second half, made plays, and hit free throws in the clutch to win it. Great coming out party for Krikke. Fingers crossed that the ankle holds up. When he and Kithier can play without one or the other getting in foul trouble, they will be really tough to handle. Confidence builder for the team. Now do it again tomorrow!
Nice win! Now go get another win against Coastal Carolina.
We also scored 50 points in the second half—against a D1 opponent too ! Wish it would've been on TV to see if the offense flowed better with Krikke or what the deal was on that. Defintiely cut down on the turnovers which helped.
I see that Jacksonville State was picked to finish 3rd in the 12-team A-10 Conference preseason men's bb coaches poll. 5th in the media poll.
I didn't watch or listen and know nothing. 31 minutes for Anderson and 4 for DeAveiro. Who got the other 5 point guard minutes or was it split? I'm not too worried their offensive mesh but how well do Kithier and Krikke function together on defense?
Was Kithier playing hurt or was his reduced minutes all foul related? Any comments on the play of Barrett?

Quote from: justducky on November 23, 2021, 06:10:24 AMAny comments on the play of Barrett?
I think many have overlooked the contributions that Conner makes on the court. It hurt us last year when he was injured and we saw the difference he can make last night. The kid is hard nosed with a high BB IQ and for the most part takes good shots.
If people on the board think Matt uses advanced metrics to determine playing time, then this game validated why Connor played 21+ minutes.
I didn't watch or listen.
But JSU had a bench player go off and hit 7 of 11 three pointers.
To hold them to 70 and win by 8 points when a bench player goes off like that against us is a good sign.
I thing when King is available he takes up most of Eron's minutes. Sorry Eron, I still like you as a person and as a leader. Hopefully Eron does not in turn steal Barrett's minutes because that guy can shoot. I like Edwards coming off the bench as I think it keeps his ego in check a little bit and has him more focused on quality over quantity.
Can't wait to see a starting lineup of
Krikke
Kithier
King
Barrett
Anderson
Bring Taylor, Edwards, Devario off the bench because Taylor and Ewards are both starter quality it gives our 2nd lineup a little more punch. Barrett being our 3 point spot up guy will benifit from being out there with triple K on the floor as a perfect guy to kick it out to for wide open 3's.
King on Jax was a lights out shooter. He was hot. At one point all their points were from 1 and their big 50.
I wouldn't call out our team bc he was a bench player. That's like Connor coming in and lighting it up. He can shoot. Feed the hot hand. And they did.
Valpo played great. And i think we are finally looking like the team we thought we could to be. And we finally closed out a game. Big victory. If we beat CC we could rematch Toledo. That will be a big tell.
and now we have three games here so kings return stays on schedule.
Good job and good win. The alternative just didn't seem right, 1-3 much better than winless 0-4.
It's also nice that some of things the players were already doing well like Anderson's rebounding and Sheldon's defense gets to pay more dividends when there is another strong scorer on the floor allowing them to focus their energy. Ben's scoring/inside presence was such a big hole for us we had lots of people trying to fill it and then not focusing on what they really could bring to the team and growing in their role. Now hopefully what you can see is them improving in their strengths and being able to slowly start to increase their points on the stat sheet so that we have well-rounded efforts. Losing the focal point at the beginning is definitely going to throw you into disarray but I think after this game you can start to see what people were high on this team.
Need to increase 3 point defense for sure(too many free points right now that allow the games to stay tight) and I think we will start to see some real success.

At full strength, how about Matt making this team a well-oiled machine. He's got the talent.

Well hell, I would've done my hair had I known the zoom was going public.
It was interesting to hear Matt talk about how hard they were on Sheldon in practice and when watching video. Sheldon is a very very gifted athlete, but as we have all seen he is sometimes not adept at the team game. He made some egregious errors on the defensive side in the previous game that cost us several times. He has the makings of an outstanding defensive player, and one on one he is just that, but sometimes he gets lost in the team concepts. It sounds like he did a lot better last night.
