SFA (1-0) vs. North Carolina Central (0-0)

WHEN: NOV 9 (SAT) 1:30 P.M.
WHERE: Johnson Coliseum (Nacogdoches, TX)
WATCH: ESPN+


After coming off their first win and D3 tune-up, the Lumberjacks will be at home for their first D1 action against the Eagles of North Carolina Central.

NC Central is reigning MEAC tournament champion for the last three years heading on as the automatic bid to the NCAAs. There they have played in the First Four the last three years against a fellow 16 seed...and never won. They are coming off a 18-16 season where they lost to Nicholls and split a pair of games with McNeese. However, they are loaded with upperclassmen. Following the JUCO recruitment model, they have 8 juniors on their team. This is the kind of team that you don't know what you've got until you play. They are led by senior guard Randy Miller (11) and junior point Jordan Perkins will keep consistent the offensive flow.

The Jacks will need to be much stronger on defense against the Eagles than they were on Wednesday night. Offensive rhythm while always important will not be as critical as getting the defense back to the kind of levels that helped the 2017-18 season be such a success.

Who's going to have the biggest improvement from game one to game two? Expect to see constant rotation again with 9 to 10 guys seeing double digit minutes. If Kensmil can have a rebounding night like last time, chances are high that SFA wins this one. If not, this could devolve into a matchup between two JUCO street ball teams.

See you early Saturday. Axe 'em!

NC Central will lineup pretty similar to us. They don't have much size and will depend on their guards.

Kensmil, as you mentioned, will be key.

I'm not saying we should, but if we let Kevon bring the ball down, we could run a 6'5 plus lineup on occasion this season.

If Kevon passes to the open man, I say do it.

What's the latest on Oddyst? I watched him make 20 3 pointers at Jacks Madness. Didn't see him on the bench Wednesday night, but Demiere was on the bench.

That's a good deal.

They should sell some discounted football tickets at the basketball game for those of us who are basketball season ticket holders.

Need to keep NC from bombing threes on us early. Seems like every team we play has the game of their life from beyond the arc. Lol.

Just saw we are a 5.5 point favorite. Little surprised by that honestly.

Slow start...again. Shocked.

Good thing we played that totally necessary warm up game against LETU, so we could be ready for this one.

Do you always wait until they go on a run to announce your presence?

You cannot not be impressed so far with this run, whatever else happens, I like what I'm seeing. Might have kept the platoon that was making the run in a little longer.

I'm better off listening to Rob while looking at the forum comments. Sounds like we have a little bit of perimeter game.

It's nice having several players who can shoot the 3. Gives us more options.
