Out of the country for a long planned trip last week with very limited internet access, so I did not see either game. Just read through the SAGU game thread. No doubt the game was disappointing, but some of the comments about the state of the team were ... wow. Those that did not recognize the early part of the season was going to be tough have not been paying attention to reality.
Two of the top eight players from last season are playing, and one of those, appropriately, is playing out of position. PG is the most important position on the team. Keller's choices right now are an experienced senior that is acceptable as a ball handler, a lightly recruited true freshman, or a walk on. Bain will never be a PG option. That one made me chuckle. Bogues has to play point, just as Dallas Cameron had to play out of position at point two years ago. There simply is no other option until Augustin gets back. That takes Bogues away from his best position. Stinks, but that is current reality. Also reality, Augustin and Comeaux were our two best on-ball defenders last year. The defense loses a lot with those two out.
Positives include Bain playing his best basketball, Harris is being Harris, Seraille/Fitzgerald/Nicholas are coming along inside.
Basketball is the ultimate team sport. Right now, we have a bunch of quality basketball individuals working to become a team. Keep working. Keep learning the syastems. Get healthy. Stay healthy.

Great post. Glad to have you back.
I think we will be a lot more motivated. It hard to get excite about playing SAGU. Playing on national tv in front of thousands of people should get their blood pump.
Good post 76. Nice to have another voice of reason back on the board. Sometimes reality gets in the way of where we want to be. If we can avoid any more serious injuries I think we will be in a good place by conference time.
Oh it's us. Yeah...no big deal. Best for a decade.
Come on Kevon!
Amen Brother Kevon....let's get this machine back on track!
I read the below article about the Houston Rockets regarding the return of Bzdelik. I would say this quote about the Rockets sums up SFA pretty well.
"We can get it to the point like it was last year at the end, but we want it to be even better. We need to continue to grow. You have some young players that are finding their way right now and learning. There's no substitute for experience. It takes all five guys to get a stop."
He also talked about injuries as well which is added to SFA's slow start to the season.

Agreed, good analogy...a few games this year, the Rockets have looked borderline helpless, then they looked "like the Rockets" against the Nuggets the other night...they too should be okayCertifiedAxeman98 said:

Northeastern beat Alabama today, 68-52.
LaTech gave LSU all they could but came up short tonight. (I still like that we beat both of those teams last year.) But, LaTech will be no pushover.

Looks like Abilene will be a real tussle this year. No joke. There 6-0 and they've actually played 5 D1 games.

BU and the Illini playing at Notre Dame right now, maybe BU can get this one... #flashbacks

Been following LA Tech (my daughter is marrying a grad so I have to). They are a very good team - it will be a challenge just to stay close this early in the year with their continuity and us still trying to find ours. I'll be in WRJ that night wearing purple and doing my own Jack Walk into the building.

Alabama paid Georgia State to come and beat them 83-80.
They are averaging about 1,700 attendance through four home games. It must not be much of a product if they are only charging $2.TallTexan said:
Looks like UALR is trying to get the arena full for basketball games.
I'd be interested to see a compare and contrast between this and our basketball pricing strategy with the premium games.
Alabam dropped 52 points on GS in the first half. GS returned the favor in the 2nd by scoring 52 on them.
Anyone have an update on Comeaux? In the Belfast pics I saw him in regular clothes. Looking Forward to the game on Friday.
One of our friends over at Sam is convinced that struggling early in the season means we're no longer a basketball school.

I set him straight though. Multiple times. Those Bearkats, they're a little tough to get through to.
Thought you guys would enjoy.

From what I hear from my brother who fell out of the family tree and into a Sam Houston degree, they're sometimes the same students.Jacks4460 said:Good stuff Texan sounds like aggy and Prison Tech fans think the same...TallTexan said:

He said he had classmates who tried to get into A&M, went to Blinn, still couldn't get in, so they live in CStat and attend Sam. That's a lot of miles just to pretend to that you're getting an A&M degree.
