Shadow_Son Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Tee4three said: So if wku plays 7 guys, pushing the pace will be more important than ever How did wku finish their last game(strong or did they hold on)? Eastern Kentucky likes to run and press EKU played 10 players to our 7 and we actually outscored them 16-6 the final 4 minutes to wrap it up. We had 6 guys in double figures with 4 of them playing 34+ minutes. Also, one of our 7 is the coaches son who has no business being on a D1 roster, much less a D3 - we just dont have a backup PG at the moment. Unfortunately, it has been a theme for Stansbury's teams to start the season with eligibly issues and short rosters - so we are always well conditioned to combat that. The Colonels hit a Diddle Arena record 18 threes on FIFTY ONE attempts and it still wasn't enough. They only attempted 20 two's and we blocked 7 of those attempts. Drive to the hole and get us in foul trouble. If you fall into our 3 point trap its the only hope we have. On the other side of that coin, we have 3 serviceable shooters in Luke Frampton, Camron Justice, and Sherman Brashear. We don't take or make a ton, but our magic number this year has been 7. If we can hit 7 or more 3's between those three guys, we are tough to beat. Edited December 8, 2021 by Shadow_Son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate about the injury and covid stuff, plus the two key guys yet to suit up. Sounds like you'll be a different looking team come March. Why hasn't Harmon played yet? I remember him catching my eye as a big-time mid-major signing. Line is steaming towards a pick em' from being as high as UB -3.5 Does not bode well for the quality of discourse tonight around 10pm.

Not sure why the line would have moved that much unless Vegas knows Hamilton is playing. As for Harmon - there have been several rumors on why he hasn't suited up yet. The staff has told some select people that he is going through some mental health and adjustment issues and just isn't right mentally to play. Kid was a "child star" of underground and youtube AAU generation who has a father who is less than helpful in the situation. But we need him. Out starting PG is a former Mr. Kentucky basketball and a guy we would all go to war with every night, but he's playing 38 minutes a night with no backup. We need Zion and Williams to have any shot at a run to the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you are describing sounds like the ub bulls are a bad match up for the hilltoppers in their current state at least. It also sounds like this could be a physical affair similar I wonder if ub got any scouting info from eastern Kentucky - one of ubs assistant coaches used to coach together in juco a couple seasons ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Anyone hearing about Williams and Jones missing this game? This most likely explains the line movement. Edited December 8, 2021 by DooleyBull06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Jones and williams missing the line should move a lot more than 3 and probably more than 10 lol, actually the line should be taken down. The only back up pg and ubs best player huge loss if true Edited December 8, 2021 by Tee4three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
