Looking at Matt playing 35 minutes and a juco "smurf" coming in to run the point in '08, somebody sure better be able to give us minutes at the point guard spot.Comment

Something tells me we'll be just fine at the backup PG spot. We will have several players that can handle some minutes there:Originally posted by pinstripers
Mekel (assuming he comes back to the states)
Preadom
Michael
Murry or Kyles
If two of those guys can combine for 10 minutes a game at PG, we'll be fine. We'll just need to hope Hannah stays healthy.Comment

Toure should be quite at home with a pressing “D” and shooting three’s.
Winning ways
After making a deep playoff run, one that ended in the Region II-5A boys tournament, the Klein Forest Golden Eagles knew they'd have to slightly change their on-court identity. After graduating star post Alonzo Edwards (now at Nebraska), who was a 6-7, 215-pound force in the paint, the Golden Eagles' returning strength was in their backcourt, led by their trio of college signees: Chris Hines (Utah), Toure Murry (Wichita State) and Elliott Lloyd (Northern Colorado).
So the Golden Eagles (8-0) have gotten off to a good start by playing small ball. Led by Hines, Murry, Lloyd and Gabe Rogers, the Golden Eagles are running and gunning. All four average at least 14 points per game and Rogers, who's just 6-2, is excelling as the team's "center."
"We won a lot of games last year because of our guards," coach Cary Black said. "The transition hasn't been hard at all, but we haven't come across a team with a dominant big man."
Rogers has been an especially tough matchup for opponents. He opened the season with a 37-point performance against Langham Creek.
"We have a five-guard offense pretty much," Black said. "With (Rogers) playing center, we're tough to match up. He's been holding things down well."
The formula is working, so Black won't change anything for now.
"We're pretty much an up-tempo team," Black said. "We press the whole time. And we're shooting a lot of 3s — more than 30 a game. It scares me a little, though, because if you don't hit them, you'll lose."Comment

Toure had two games today, DNP in the first and KF suffered their first loss of the year by 6 and TM played in the late game and had 23 pts, 9 rbs. 3-5 from the 3pt line. Shout out to my uncle who was at the tournament and sent stats. KF rolled by 34 in the win.Comment

Any idea why he didn't play in the first game?Comment

Stutz scored 26 points on Friday in a 65-47 win over KC Wyandotte.

Is Wyandotte that bad? They only scored 3 points in the first quarter against North KC and are 0-3 on the season.Comment

Word is that Toure was taking the ACT again. He is already a qualifer but he was trying to better his score. www.rcssports.com does a good job of covering Houston basketball. This is where I get most of the info.Comment
-
Out of curiosity, if Toure has already qualified and has a scholarship to Wichita State, why would he be taking the ACT again? How does getting a better score benefit him? Does it in turn benefit Wichita State in any way?Comment
-
Maybe He wants to improve his score because he wants be taken seriously and he'll so he's academically oriented as he is basketball orientedOriginally posted by TxlenComment
