Unrelated do we just not do Cram the Coliseum anymore? We haven't promoted it for years.

If I understood Keller correctly, they're both available to play now, albeit not at 100% for either of them.

The Keller and Bishop interviews have my hoops blood flowing now. Guess I'll be making the long drive to Nac for the doubleheader on Monday.

Time to get in the basketball groove. Seems like it's been forever. Haven't seen any game promotion yet.

My guess for starting lineup for Monday night.

Hayman
Nana
C Johnson
Keon T
Keith Lamar

But with the injuries to Chris and Keon not sure how the lineup will look.

Coach has lots of options. Really looking forward to see how the new guys look and how much the returning players improved.

That's about what i see. I feel like Myles Jenkins is due to have some positive impact.

Really looking forward to watching how are bigs play. Nana, Clayton, Stone and Sylla should cause major issues for teams. Xmas also, love how he plays. Super athletic. Probably the player I'm most looking forward to watching is Chris. I think he has huge upside. Star player.

Also I want to see how the freshman Pangonis shoots the 3. He is my sleeper pick for this season.

That's as good a starting lineup as any. But I doubt that anyone will get more than 24-25 minutes, especially considering the competition. Everyone on the roster will get plenty of floor time.

Hope we can get an update on both young men. Really need Keon back against Arkansas State. Going to be a tough game.

If the Jacks don't improve there shooting it's going to be a long day.

Lumberjacks have now dropped below 50% in KenPom for the first time in a long while. We're still in second in the SLC, but regardless of recent reports, the SLC is not a good bball conference.

Ya. I noticed. Depressing. Lots of our KenPom stuff that is in the red, is ball handling related. I guess we could use a point guard .

One of these seasons we are going to start and finish with the same 9-10 core players.

SFA has historically started slow, that's true. Even the year we absolutely DOMINATED WVU, we were pretty bad until conference play started.

That being said, I don't remember us being this dysfunctional. We are without a PG, so hopefully once we have a complete offense again, the team starts to get it together.

true that. Getting a complete team seems to be the challenge every year. I still think this team can make some noise if we can get healthy. I want to see Thompson and Emanuel on the court.

So, site was down through the final two days of the Axe 'Em Classic. Apparently the Lumberjacks needed a break from all the negativity. And since we weren't around to tell them what to do, they were able to roll off two straight wins. While far from being dominant, their offense did start to click at times well enough to put away Monmouth and Youngstown St.

Nana's three point shooting seemed to be the catalyst for both outings, although I felt like the offense was stale until Daveon started leading the point in the third game. He didn't play much more after the first half, but switching up the speeds got the Jacks out of a funk. Jenkins, Lamar, Hayman, and Stone along with Nana seems to be our core group moving forward.

Just kidding about the negativity killing the site. The site has to be renewed every November and it just took a while this time.

Well pretty good long weekend in Nac. Ate at the spots I like, CCs Smokehouse and Butcher Boys among them.
Basketball vs Presbyterian was awful. Showed some improvement in winning next 2 games although still far from being a real SLC contender. Too often some of the guys looked lost out there. Playing without a PG is NOT a tenable situation and will not result in winning a lot of games. Hopefully the injured will return in time for Conference play. Will that be enough is still the question.
Watching a winning football game was nice. Critics will complain ACU was resting guys for playoffs but that is a choice they made. Situation had been reversed, we would have rested some starters.
Good weather and good to get back for a few days.

Also shoutout to Ryan for running this board, making sure past owner paid the fees and for giving me some minutes of his time to speak of SFA sports and life instances as well. Thanks Ryan.....Great job here with this
crowd.

Next up is conference play. Right now McNeese is the team to beat. There's no clear second. Hoping that will change when our players get back healthy.
