Yes. If he cuts down on fouls, he could be a very important asset down the stretch.MasterAxe said:SFA Jack Fanatic said:
Mitch didn't score much, but he was very good tonight!
It may not be totally obvious by box score alone, but he gets better and better each time he plays.
And to think, we were two point blank layups away at the end of reg from being dejected. Oh well, time we got some form of payback from that NSU finish.
Ladyjacks win by 6. 59-53.

Like the coach said, his activity hasn't been turning into achievements for the team - but it did tonight and they hoped he turned a corner. Huge heart guy - always brings effort.Pilotgirl said:RedRiverLa said:

So we'll see you all at WRJ South on Saturday?
So, different topic - Big Ten Network showing Illinois and Minn now. Getting a little Brad Underwood fix.
Had to miss the game again...sadly! Looks like I missed an exciting game! Go JACKS!!
Brad may be missing some JACKS basketball too. Looks like it's going to be a 20+ loss season for him!
I don't think anyone had this score on the contest?!

I'll be there. I'll post some stuff in the tailgate thread, but we have a tradition of hitting up BBQ before the game. Anyone will be welcome to meet up.TallTexan said:

Nah. An easy victory by the Jacks. No sweat. Had it from start to finish. Never threatened. UCA was never in it. Jacks defense was awesome. If Kevon and Fitz would have had good games it would have been even easier.jboy93 said:

OK, I lied..... A lot...
So glad to see Mitch tonight!!! I think he has turned the corner. Looking forward to what he can become!!!
Fitz came up big tonight. Great team effort.
It's that WRJ magic! Not sure the second put back would have counted.RedRiverLa said:

Mitch is a difference maker..I wanna see the young man suceed he is our next big star once he grows up which he is doing right in front of us..
Here's some more meaningless post-game shower thoughts:
The Jacks have had exactly one D1 game this season where they scored more than 75 points prior to tonight's game. SFA has been needing an uptick in offense, and they got it tonight. You knew it was going to be a different kind of game when Fitzgerald started the game off on a personal 10 point run. It turned out to be a complete team effort that saw 105 points, 47 rebounds, 19 assists, 6 blocks, 4 double-digit scorers, and nine players finally all seeing more than 5 minutes of play. And a W at the end to move the Jacks from 7th place in the standings to 4th.
It's the kind of game where there's almost too much to make much sense out of, but here's a couple of thoughts.
Our win last Wednesday against ACU saw us taking a high scoring team and forcing them to play our style of physical grinding basketball. Tonight saw us open up the game to try to let our offense flow and score points. It may not have been forcing UCA into a whole new style of play, but it was still a game where we dictated the pace. It was refreshing to see that we had another speed than first gear. Next, it will be nice to see if we can close out a game before the final ticks of the game clock.
This was the game we needed Mitch Seraille. Sammy was slowed with ankle issues from the last game, and while he played solid, he just didn't quite have the pace for this game. Mitch made a much needed return to form and had quick hands and feet all night...and he did not have butterfingers around the basket. He finished. Thank you Mitch for staying with this team. We want you here.
Bain played out of his mind tonight. He can have such an impact on games that just doesn't show up on stat sheets, but his hops, quickness, and tenacity are what this team is (or at least should be) all about. He's finally showing that he can be the kind of player everyone has said he's had the potential to be the last four years.
Yeah Bogues had an off night...only 18 pts, 4 asts, 2 blocks, 2 rebs. He's now had a SFA record 19 games in a row with double digit scoring output. And what about that block at the end of regulation? 42 minutes playing and he looked at the end that his legs were going, but I will trust that man's dead legs any day.
Kevon and Fitz, thanks for being studs. Please be studs on Saturday. Thank you for making Saturday mean something. We still play 8-0 Sam twice. We can narrow that gap by knocking that silly 0 off their face. I trust you Kevon. You'll make me proud just like you did tonight.
One week and we clipped the #2 and #3 teams in the SLC's wings...on to #1. Axe 'em.

Fitz scoring 29 is great. But can he score 29 and bag more than 3 rebounds on Saturday?
Bain had that many rebounds on one possession.

It may be tough on your health, but you definitely get your money's worth with an SFA game.
Good team win. Followed along on stat tracker. Not sure if it was better or worse for my heart than watching live. Either way, judging by the comments here and what i saw there, this was a good team win. Needed that. Saturday won't be easy, but Hooten is 1-15 against us sooo... Hope i can make it up there!
I did not know that. That's an absolutely AMAZING statistic! How many years has SFA played roundball?!?!nacluth said:

(Good post-game shower review, BTW...)
How many points away from 1000 is Shannon?
Ok, here's some stat correction on my part.
Shannon now has 20 games straight with more than 10 points. That ties him for third all time in Jacks history with Antonio Burks. Nathan Randle over the '91-'92 and '92-'93 seasons had 30 games for the record. Patrick Gusters is in second place with 25 straight. It does seem likely that if Shannon finishes this season healthy that he will break the record.
Rob Meyers in his commentary last night said that Shannon needed 19 points in the game to reach 1,000 points. He actually needed 149 points. After his 18 point off-night, he's down to 131. The aforementioned Nathan Randle was the fastest to get there for a Lumberjack when he did it in 54 games - coincidentally the same amount of games Shannon has played.

Looking at some of the video clips, it seems Mitch was very active on the bench as well. Loved seeing that from him. Looks like now he is truly a Lumberjack!!!
Just some food for thought moving to the next game. It's funny that they have this listed as a home game for Sam. They be wrong.

Phone died right after game last night.
Definitely a fun game, happy to see us play so well offensively. While it can be said we played better than normal shooting, so did UCA. They always have some shooters, but they're not quite the same offensive club that they were with Howard. But kudos to them for knocking down big shots when we would get a lead.
More praise for Mitch, I thought he played great. If he can just channel and limit his frustration he wouldn't have picked up so many quick fouls. I think they can work on him and develop him into a really good player.
Saturday will be tough. Sam isn't as good as their record IMO, but they're playing well and we'll have to play even better to get the W.
We're averaging 100.5 PPG when I sit courtside. Just sayin.

We'll have to play even better and bring the crowd. If we get a good contingent there, it fires our guys up while demoralizing the home team.
I watched Lamar and Sam play Saturday. Sam shot the three really well. We will have to defend the three. The two brothers had it going. We win if we play our best.
Just read through the game thread. Not much to add, but just a few random thoughts.
Mitch and Nathan need to stay out of foul trouble. Samuli is really struggling with that ankle. He was hobbling off the floor after the final buzzer. Not sure how much he will have to give on Saturday.
Love Hughes passion and energy through and after the game. Hopefully he is back on the court in three weeks or so.
Mitch is one of the most athletic players I have ever seen at SFA. His upside is ridiculous. Hoping he is aligning with positive influences. His overall deameanor was so much better.
Fitzgerald will never be a good rebounder. He does not position well and does not make the effort. Another reason Mitch and Nathan need to stay out of foul trouble.
Kevon. Wow. If he puts two games in a row together like that, Sam is toast.
Finally, where the heck was everybody? Not the weather. Even with the challenges, this bunch is becoming a team, and a fun team to watch.

On attendance, maybe the 6:30 start is a little early? People getting home from work late makes it hard to get there on time?SFAJack_76 said:

6:30 is a little early for me since we're driving in from Palestine. But I think the Wednesday games hurt attendance probably more than anything.
WHERE are the 13,000 students? It's a mystery.
