Although, I suspect it is warmup and not game time.
I've found the audio, but can't seem to locate the video for tonights 6 pm game.
P.S. May have answered my own question... NEO doesn't appear to have live stream video... and DSB must be there. EO checks in.
Keep updates on the game....I'm not able to listen at the moment!!!

33 To 28 At half. i think i counted 29 foul in first half. eo has couple rebounds and one nice bucket the one time he touched it in the offense.
Has he done well altering shots? How many points would you say are "against" EO? Just curious.

I listened to part of the game. Three Rivers won by 6-8 points and I'm not sure of the final score. EO was in the game during the majority of crunch time. He snatched a few rebounds, had a couple of blocks and finished with 3 points; however he was in foul trouble most of the first half.
I was away from the broadcast until about the 8 minutes mark in the second half. He hit a huge free throw (and missed the second) around the 2 minutes mark after getting fouled on an attempted dunk.
He didn't start the game and came in within about 2 minutes... he quickly committed 2 fouls in about 30 seconds and I'm not sure if he played any more the first half? Carter led them with 36 points and another player scored 11... EO and everyone else had 3-5 points IIRC.
Sorry for the poor update... wasn't able to listen to enough of the game to get a feel for his play; however his name was mentioned numerous times when he was in the game... he seemed to be in the middle of the action by setting picks, altering shots and rebounding.
NEO is usually a very good team and I'm sure this is the best competition he's ever played against in a live game.
I'm not worried! :D
"You Just Want to Slap The #### Outta Some People"
NEO had couple very quick guards with some ups. They drove past Carter all night like he was standing still. No one could get into flow in first half. Don't let the reported 2 quick fouls on EO distract you. EVERYONE, including the 2 Coaches and NEO's mascot were in foul trouble in the first half.
No real observation on first half due to fouls.
2nd half they stayed away from EO. EVERY shot was altered or screened and protected by the rim. He had couple real nice blocks, and got blocked on what would have been a HUGE dunk, but forgot to look up at D when he caught the ball. Instead went hard, and even with other guys 2 hands ball still went forward and down.
His putback dunk had the crowd booing like he was showing off. Came a few minutes after a NEO putback when EO had stepped out to help after MC had been beat yet again. He altered shot and it careened wildly off backboard and guy slammed it home uncontested. EO on the other hand took a shot that came off backboard (guy was fouled) and outjumped 2 NEO defenders and slammed it with authority shaking the rafters (literally, old gym where goal hangs from ceiling.
MC was less than impressive even though he got his points. His game may not gel well at next level. Faced with guards that were as strong and quick he had trouble penetrating, couldn't stop them defensively, and spent a lot of time on bench due to this.
Dude, he got 36 points while, as you say, he spent a lot of time on the bench. What exactly wasn't working. What exactly wasn't he doing to meet your expectations.

He was the only one on the team that would take a shot. He turned the ball over a lot. Got quite a few points at the line. He did not make ONE single entry pass to the post.
I said he got his points, but his percentage wasn't that good. When he was on the court, you knew who was going to take the shot. His TO's and bad shots (with time still left on the shot clock) let NEO stay in the game. His lack of defense allowed them to take the lead, but him finally making shots and FT's finally extended a lead.
Regarding Carter (offensively, at least), he somehow managed nine assists and just four turnovers. From the descriptions of eyewitnesses I was expecting those numbers to be closer to the reverse.
However, if he can't play adequate defense at the juco level, I'm not sure I want to see him at D1.

I thought Carter got beat on defense a couple times early and once in the 2nd half. I also felt that he took good shots and was the biggest difference in the game. Not perfect, but certainly good.
That being said, I'd still like to have a freshman, possibly a swing man.
