2018-19 Games of Interest

[wufan]

Watching Lomax... Him and Burton have such similar games. Im not sure we didn't end up with the better one.

I thought the same thing! Similar game, similar build, similar haircut, but Burton is 6” taller.

[California Shocker]

Holy Cross up 46-43 on Providence with 14 minutes to go.

The only Big East team that I'd like to do well.... struggling..

Providence Won

[ShockerMas]

Providence gets the win 70-61
Cincy wins by 22 over NC Central
Temple beats Georgia by 4
LSU 85-76 over Memphis
Tulane up 12 over Coastal Carolina with 9 mins left

[1972Shocker]

While Marshall did the right thing, Lomax has 4 assists and 1 turnover so far. While Samajae had a good game against Providence we could of REALLY used Lomax lol

But yeah, we are gonna hear it a ton

I'm hoping Tyson and Noah have us looking back in a couple years and feeling pretty good about how things worked out.

[WuShocker2006]

I agree and I think we will feel pretty good about our backcourt in the coming years, including the guards we have now. I'm just hoping we can land another talented big.

[WuShocker2006]

Speaking of backcourts, Georgetown edging Illinois at the half. James Akinjo is tearing it up. So is Mac McClung. They look like they are going to be a pretty dynamite random.

[champions5]

Chicago State is 1-41 in their last 42. Leads Illinois State by 6 late.

[ShockerFever]

Man, the Redturds are putting a whooping on perennial punching bag Chicago State at home, 74-71 with under a minute left.

[champions5]

Illinois State pulls it out 75-71. Congrats. Huge win.

[ShockTalk]

No Yarbrough, no win.

[ShockerFever]

Illinois State pulls it out 75-71. Congrats. Huge win.

Dan's got that team figured out.

[RoyalShock]

Isn't Chicago State perennially one of the worst D1 teams?

[ShockTalk]

Yipper!

[ShockTalk]

Yarbrough was everything for the Jailbirds tonight. Lead them in scoring, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, assists, turnovers, and smirking at Danny boy.

[Aargh]

Posters on either MVCFans or the IlSU board were saying the HS girls team could beat ChSt.

[Shock Top]

I thought the same thing! Similar game, similar build, similar haircut, but Burton is 6” taller.

Burton is a bigger build too, and better shooter.

Maybe Alex has a better handle and flow for the game, but that part of Burton’s game can continue to develop the further away he gets from his knee injury.

[Steeleshocker]

Burton hasn't taken a single jump shot this season that I can recall, so I'm not ready to say he's the better shooter.

[Shock Top]

Go look at film and tell me Burton doesn’t have the better looking shot...

What would I know though, right?!?!?!

[Shock Top]

NVM

I had to put the stats from game 1 and game 2 together. Lomax is getting some overall stats, but he's 4/18 from the field and 0/3 from 3. I think Haynes-Jones is outplaying him at this point in the season.

Harris is 0/6 in 24 total minutes. DNP against LSU.

[Dan]

Lomax and Harris go 5’9” and 5’10”. I don’t care how good they are at shooting, it’s hard to get shots off at that size.

[wufan]

Lomax didn’t have any trouble getting shots off against LSU. Some were ill advised, but he made a fair amount.

[Dan]

I know we’ve had some success with short guards, but anything under 6’ is really tough. We had a short backcourt with Fred and Conner and they had several inches on these guys.
