WHERE: Northern Classic (Montreal, Quebec)
WATCH: Be The Beast ($25 for the tournament access)


The Lumberjacks are back at it tomorrow afternoon against the Blue Raiders of MTSU. Last season in Cancun, the red hot Jacks cleaned up a Blue Raiders team that had a better than expected season. This year, everyone knows that MTSU is going to be good.

Today, the Blue Raiders knocked off a decent Hofstra, but their games this season have been very up and down. They are bigger than the Jacks but have very similar overall stats. It's all about which Jacks team shows up.

Today, the Jacks couldn't get into any offensive flow despite playing decent defense. Robbie Armbrester made his season debut but only had marginal success in limited minutes. Jossell's absence seemed to keep any spark from igniting. Hawkins again had decent offensive output but does not play equally well on both sides of the court.

We're having trouble finding unity between the 1 and the 5 spot. Posey and Nana are the true keys to the team, but they are under severe pressure. Unless our guards can start hitting then this could be a long game. But, this seems like a game that the Jacks can turn around.

Hopefully Canada warms up tomorrow.
Axe 'em!

Currently the only WAC team with more bewildering play in nonconference is Abilene. They are dying in this early season. However, if we can't pull out a win in Montreal, then we're going to be right with them.

This is a winnable game and we need to see some on-court leadership.

Any updates on Jossell. Is he going to play today?

We played really well against SDSU. Need to bring that same intensity.

Ugh. Shooting. 4-19 so far.

Edit. 4-21. Less than 20%. MTSU is 6-10.

No post presence is hurting us.

Playing decent defense and rebounding fair. Got to get the ball in the hoop.

We just hit a half court shot at the half buzzer. Not sure who it was.

17 points down with 2:44 left in the half. Went on 10-0 run to bring it back to 7 at half. Finally hitting some threes. Got to do better shooting. Really limiting MTSU's looks but they are hitting at a 62% clip.

Nigel has to be the most frustrating player to watch these last three years. We'll be lucky to get to 45 points this game. I think we know which team showed up.

Yeah. Guards having trouble handling the pressure. Need a healthy team.

Robbie 4 TO's to 1 point. Going to take a while to get to game speed.

Quick run to get back to 11 down.

Not watching. Just watching the stats. We are shooting better but still

Hayman putting up stats at the end of the game. Posey a complete no show today. Nana decent for what he's being asked to do.

Nigel has put up 53 points in the last 3 games. Good for him, but if he's in our top three scorers then our offense is not working right.

Lose by 12. 75-63. One more tomorrow against the toughest team UNC-Greensboro.

Till we get healthy, this may be an uncomfortable reality. We have to get more points near the rim. Day Day is great but at 6'4" he's not the guy to push around 6'7"-6'8" bigs.

I didn't get to see either game, but I can tell from the box score that it's not looking good. One bright spot in the MTSU game was the shooting of Hayman. I've been waiting for him to show us what he can do. I don't expect him to be a star player however, and that's what this team is missing, along with no depth in the low block. Seems we put a lot of hope in the transfer from Kansas State who left us jilted at the altar. Getting Beaubrun back is priority number one. I like Nana, but only as a back up. I have a feeling Jalil will give us a boost.

Over and out from Saigon

Anyone know the scoop on Jossell? Did he travel with the team?

A reminder that, several times, Keller said this was the best shooting team he has had.

I'm waiting.
