Looking forward to listening to our final exhibition ! We beat them by 11 last year. They were a very good NAIA team last year. Fairly optimistic about this season!!

Valpo-88

SMWC-67

Last year they took us all the way to the end. They were 25-7 last year and are projected to win their conference again this year, so I imagine the result of tonights game will say a little bit about how our team has improved (or regressed) since last year. Keeping in mind what happened last year and my expectations for this season, I am hoping to see a solid 20 point victory. A game that we are leading by 8-15 for most of the game and close them out at the end. 

My anticipated starting lineup: 

Darius 

Ellis

Shaw

Monegro 

Cooper

Gotta say. Its great to hear the band back in the building. And great to hear that the students still know the lyrics to the Hey song.

Halftime score is 33-31. Might sound bad, but Powell seems to be "sharing the love" with his gameplan. That is, the minute spread is remaining pretty even. Lots to dive into on the defense which is looking dominant, but the perimeter shooting remains a struggle through the first half as well as the free throws. But, as Todd puts it "Not time to push the panic button just yet"

Our biggest weakness last year was interior defense. Our two additions on the inside (Scroggins and Louth) have combined for 10 minutes.

Anyone who attended......What's your hott take? Who stood out, who looks like they will have an impact this year? Thoughts on McNair, Schmidt, Shaw, any of the newbies ?

One thing I'll say is this new website is phenomenal. I can actually grab stats during the game now rather than having to rely on ESPN. So here are some notable bits from tonight.

I think NBA Jam said it best with "He's heating up". After the, shall we say, lackluster first half. Powell must have said something in the locker room because 5 Beacs ended the night in double digit scoring a majority of them being new faces. Beacons dominated the second half with SMWC not being allowed do score for the final 4:10 seconds. 

De La Cruz Monegro: 21 pts 

Devon Ellis: 10 pts

Cooper Schwieger: 14 points

Justus McNair: 17 points

Tyler Schmidt: 10 points

So what are some takeaways. The defense was lights out all game. Lots of blocks and takeaways with 13 total. Even when the offense faltered, the defense was able to mitigate the damage.

I like the website but what happened to the box score? It was there earlier but it is currently not seen on the valpoathletics page under the basketball schedule where it would normally be found.

Welp I never reloaded the page so that is why I could still see it. Had to go to the statbroadcast website to get the box score.
