EO: He started! We got the tip.. :) He played 23 mins. He scored the first shot of the 2012-2013 season for the Shockers.. and it was a dunk. He looked great on a couple shots, looked not-so-great on a few he rushed. Grabbed some boards, played some good defense, and had about 3 blocks by my count and altered 4 or 5 more. Official block count: 1 LMFAO! ZERO turnovers!
Beast: He's going to single-handedly rip the Valley a new bung hole. He was sportin' some new goggles (he said he was trying them out as a replacement for his contacts). The only thing Beast didn't do tonight was tuck HCGM's kids in for bedtime (I don't know, perhaps he did that as well). 7-7 from the field, 9-10 from the stripe, 23pts, 7rbds, 3blks, in 23mins. Enough said.
Wessel: This kid is really making me look like an asshole. 4 of 5 from 3pt land and 13pts in 20mins of solid play.
Baker: During a break away I swear he looked right up at me and said, "I've got your white kid right here", as he slammed the ball home with authority. If Wessel doesn't make me look like an ass, Baker certainly looks to be another leading candidate. 17 pts, 6rbds, and 2 steals in 23 minutes.
Early: I've never seen a guy look so dangerous on a night where he struggled offensively. 1-11 shooting to go along with 8rbds, 1blk, and 2 steals.
Wiggins: When Nick made his baseline move and finished, RDR leaned over to me and said, "there's no doubt he knows what to do with the ball". Then we both reminisced over Shockers of recent history who were supposed to be "slashers" but never could quite figure out how to go around their man instead of through him earning a charge. Well, we have our slasher now. Wiggins is nasty. He was perfect from the field and 2-2 from 3pt land scoring 13pts in 14 minutes!
Malcolm: Seemed better to me than his stats would indicate. Apparently he had 4 turnovers?! But he had 7rbds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. Not a great shooting night, but nothing I saw tonight makes me think he won't be leading the team. The Oregon transfer needs to knock a few cobwebs off.
FVV: Still adjusting to the college game. He was quiet, made a few silly fouls and probably pooped his pants when he came out of the tunnel and saw a nearly full Koch Arena for the first time.
Green: A redshirt year is going to suit him well.
Cotton and White: Both were fairly quiet tonight. They won't be in Valley play.
DWill: He's still healing. He was limping a bit tonight.
Anybody see the pre-game video? I think it's great. I thought it was kind of ill-timed, but it's great. I would like to see the video played before they come out of the tunnel. Perhaps that wouldn't work..
