Basketball Game 2 Thread: Wright State

Very good offensive half. Craft and the frosh are playing well.

Defensively Noel is killing them. Too often Miami getting caught switching and Noel exploits the mismatch. He’s singlehandedly putting Miami in foul trouble.

Team stats are nearly identical.

Kam Craft kind of looks like Zeppo Marx.

Craft is a MAC player of the year if he stays healthy.

Apparently we’re rolling with Elmer at the 5 if Woolfolk and Kotecki get into foul trouble and Potter is still unavailable.

Wright State controlled the pace in the 1st half. We’re not defending them well. We’re fortunate they’re only shooting 50% from the floor. Except for Skajac, our guards are getting outplayed. Our guards need to drive and kick once they get in the paint. Some secondary movement off the ball off the penetration would help.

Our shotmaking has kept us in the game. Craft doesn’t need much daylight to get his shot off. Skajac and Byers have been good off the bench.

Defensively, we’re a step behind what they’re doing. We’re not reacting correctly or quickly to what they’re doing.

The depth is night and day better. Just so much fun to watch.

Last time Miami had a scorer better than Craft was a guy named Wally.

Yeah missing Potter really unfortunate today.

What? This is absolutely Miami’s place.

Michael Bramos and Hitman Hayes would like a word.

Both those guys could certainly light it up. Bramos averaged 12 ppg his soph year and topped out at 17. Hayes averaged around 14. I’ll venture that Craft scores more than that, although Steele’s offense will generate more possessions than Coles’.

Bramos, Hayes, Wally- however you go
With it we haven’t had a scorer like Craft in quite some time

6 straight empty possessions (3 turnovers 3 misses) enables a 9-point run by the Raiders.

Wish we didn’t shoot so many jumpers

That’s the original Rowdy Raider mascot. They’re glorious!

21-8 run for Wright St.

Half court offense has been awful these last couple mins

It’s gotta be the mascot

This game is suddenly out of hand.

We can’t drive passed anyone. Just settling for mid range jumpers lol

I am in key west with my wife for a long weekend. This score is a legitimate buzz kill. Very surprised
