trueblue32 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I figured I'd get a game thread going for the first game (even if it's an exhibition) in person in a couple years. I gotta reiterate how I appreciate that we always get Daemen for exhibitions as they are a great D2 program that would beat a lot of lower level D1 teams. Daemen is the de facto #38 ranked D2 team as the 13th team receiving votes. They have already played 3 games beating the de facto #26 team, and losing to the #4 team by 11 points, and #3 team by 3 points. Their big man Andrew Sischo was a first team all-American. He's averaged 18.3 PPG and 9.0 RPG in his 3 career exhibition games against us. I've always wished we could poach him off of Daemen lol Edited November 2, 2021 by trueblue32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Well that significantly decreases the intrigue of this game lol. Hopefully we get plenty of Mading/Jones/Blocker/Williamson minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The exhibition is definitely needed just to get in a groove, get rotations and get the jitters out but I can't imagine medaille is anywhere close to daemen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrabukes Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Game damn 1 and already ridiculous covid bs. Unreal. Instead of a solid opponent for an exhibition, we get a high school team.

trueblue32 Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Maybe the most important thing to me today is having Mballa/Hardnett/Skogman knock down some outside shots. Important for the trajectory of the season, but also I want Michigan to have tape showing that they can't drop Dickinson in ball screen coverage. If Michigan can get away with letting him clog the paint all game we don't stand a chance, they were #3 in 2-point defense last year.

Tee4three Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 2nd rotation hasn't been great. When all three of segu williams and mballa are out the team looks dis organized. Maybe its the opponent but its been a bit rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Free throw shooting at 75%. A nice sight to see. I mentioned in the summer that free throw shooting should be a massive improvement and it’s showing here so far. I can see UB nearing top 20 in FT’s this season.

BasketBull Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Jones has nice handles, solid passing and plays great D. I don’t know if he’ll offer much in the shooting department but he looks like a very capable PG. Couldn’t help but notice all the newcomers hustle hard.

C1ubP1fanaticM7 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Jack’s stroke is pure. Blocker and Jones are incredible athletes. Could see them progressing into the defensive stoppers we need. If not this year, next. Played well defensively, rebounded, got to the rim. Perry is a dog. Efficient scoring tonight. Mading is raw and definitely had some nerves tonight. But man is he long. Great put back dunk. And his elbows were above the rim on the one he misses. Overall, good outing for the new guys. I’m excited to watch them progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Mading's put back dunk electrified the arena. Not a bad fan showing for a D3 exhibition. Students showed up quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
