Looks like David Skara has asked for his release, and will be leaving Valpo.

I think we are getting a little too hopeful for tonight's attendance. I say it will be slightly better than average.

We are overrated.

We suck what a joke

SO MANY FOULS

We lost   it.

Saw a pic of he team warming up looked like Tevonn is sitting this one out?

Refs and vashil are pathetic.

Has anyone bought and tested out the pac 12 network?? How much does it cost? Can I buy it as an individual channel or do I have I buy it in a package?

So will the VU game only be on Pac 12 network? Will it possibly be shown online somewhere? Will Buffalo Wild Wings have it?

So there will be a video stream tonight?

What games will Hammink be suspended?

Brown is ugly in my opinion. Bathroom colors

Wow we suck at guarding the 3. Get jurbil off the floor.

This team is going to be very very good come March. Anyone can score 15+ any given night. This is going to be a fun year! I'm very impressed with smits' jumper. Vashil needs to work on his floaters.

Adekoya is playing absolutely horrible.

I think he read this because he's looked a lot better in the 4th quarter (that's weird to say).

I love our ball movement on the offensive side of the ball, but I don't think we used or size advantage enough. It's tough to get a ton set up in 15 seconds, but I would have liked to see more post ups.

I agree he caught fire right after I posted this!! I'm sorry I doubted you Jubril!!

[Hammink is out the first two.]

I'm really interested to see how Lexus Williams does this year. He's supposed to play our first game correct? Hammink is out the first two. Also when is the schedule supposed to come out? It's usually been around this time the last couple years?

Please clarify.  Thanks!

He got suspended the first 2 games for drinking right?

Great close win!!

I'm guessing we won't be able to watch these games online?

If we follow Paul's projection of playing time, that would suggest the five on the first squad to be Carter, T. Walker, D. Walker, Peters, and Fernandez. The second squad by playing time would be split among Nickerson, Skara, Hammink, Adekoya, and Smits (and Williams if healthy). Joseph, Davidson, and Levingston-Simon would be at the end of the bench and get few minutes.

5- Vashil/Smits
4 - Peters/Jubril
3 - D.Walker/Skara/Hammik
2 - T.Walker/Nickerson
1 - Carter/Lexus 

I have a real problem with the lineup for the 3 spot.  I know that at the beginning of last year D. Walker was a big "go to" person for us as T. Walker, Skara and Nickerson got adjusted to the college game and in the case of Nickerson, actually playing again after a long lay off.  As the year went on I felt that there were games in which he really pressed and for some reason thought that he had to score, taking some quick and bad shots, when that was no longer the case at that time of the season with Peters and T. Walker now our primary threats.  I think that if Hammik is as good as advertised, his physical advantage over D. Walker is going to make it hard to keep him off the court.  We saw that already in some situations last year with Skara.  It is going to be hard to keep Hammik and Skara off the court so I think that D. Walker could be the odd man out at the 3 spot.

A few thoughts. First, players are going to get dinged up during the season and all players will not be available for every game. That will free up minutes. Second, this is a very versatile team with a number of players able to play more than one position. Jubril will see minutes at the 5 as well as the 4. Scara will get time at the 4 and the 3.  Nickerson and D Walker could see time at the three and the 2. Bryce will have the flexibility to go big or small depending on the match ups.  As long as the players buy into winning as a team versus padding personal stats or sulking over playing time, this could be a really exciting year.

Sounds like Bryce is going to have some Calipari problems this year.

Just looked up a video of Chandler. Even thought the video was from 2 years ago, he looks very good for a walk on!

Has Lexus been cleared to play yet? He won't be playing in the Canadian games correct?

Well Relvao is gone
