Secret scrimmage
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Houston won by 11. I am hearing Young and Mitchell played well.
Ryan Young had 14, Mitchell had 12. We were 2-17 from 3. Flip had 7 points. Roach had 10. Blakes had 3, Proctor had 2. Grandison had 2. Everyone but Schutt played double digit minutes. Reeves did not play. No one besides Young and Mitchell shot well. Proctor and Roach 3 assists between them. Just a scrimmage with our 2 best guys out but could have gone better.

All things considered with the top two freshman in the country out- not too bad. Excited for this year!
We need Proctor to be better, and he will be. 2 points and 2 assists. Houston is a physical team, so a good test for us. And hopefully we get Lively and Whitehead back soon. We are not as physical as we were last year. Blakes looked like he played a solid game. Great that we got to see this level of comp.

Need to shoot better from 3. Not sure Whitehead and or Lively makes a SIGNIFICANT difference in that area.
It sounded like a physical game. A guy like Keels could have really helped. If Catchings can't play with those 2 out he probably is not in the rotation.

Are we being punked? Unless it’s 1983 and the Dream wearing 34 again this is disturbing to put it mildly
I stopped reading after “it was a physical game”. We got 2 guys out with injuries already to get “physical” in a “secret” lol scrimmage in October. And what a “secret” with a box score ?? after the game…. Lmao. As I get older, I’m a believer in the old saying.- believe nothing you hear, and half of what you see . All I care about is staying healthy and getting healthy untill I watch the game myself.
Based on losing to a legit top 5 team with in theory our two best players out in a PRESEASON game?? Yeah… ok
We will be fine. We had 2 starters out, and Houston is a top 5 team. This team may take some time to gel. It's not really ideal to have 2 starters out as it's almost an entire new team. I'm expecting more losses than we are used to. As long as we get a decent seed and improve as the year goes on.
I don’t think we see a lot of losses then we’re not used to. I will say out of the transfers , Young is showing what he was brought in for . Grandison has to show me more .
Shaking my head on that. What do you mean by it being a long season? November through April or we are going to have a bad team. Can you clear that up. When people state things like that reminds me of the 2009 season. A cheater u after his cheaters won the 2009 natty stuck his head in my office and yelled "Duke's gonna suck next year." Just a reminder the next year turned out to be 2010. Is that whst you mean? OFC
I said the same thing in 2010. Glad I was wrong then and I hope I’m wrong now. 2010 was full of upperclassmen though. This team isint. Plus 2010 had K
I think all posters know this but it’s only October and Whitehead and Lively didn’t play .
Jon has said multiple times his work with this team will be on defense . He thinks they can be a good defensive team . To be without two starters and keep a top five team possibly to 61 isn’t bad .
I don’t agree with your take, but continue to post your opinion, popular or not. The board needs this. We can’t all get along, nor should we. This board isn’t half of what it used to be.
And a large part of that is the Negative Nancy’s got run out of town by the Sunshine Pumpers.
It's just impossible to tell what we will be until we are playing at full strength. Without Lively and Whitehead, we are probably above average, but definitely not great. No clue how good we can be, but I do think guys will be much better when everyone is healthy and they can settle into their roles.
What is up with Lively? I heard his calf but it has been 2 weeks already. Hope it doesn't linger.
Don’t see any reason to rush him back for scrimmages. To be honest the rest need to play . I think it’s safe to say Lively is starting so I’d rather have him for when it counts .
Reeves make the trip?
just a scrimmage but a few trends I can see developing based on the small samples - Flip will be in foul trouble a lot, Flip & Young probably won’t be on the floor at the same time as it will lead to Opponent 2PFG % being high, Roach and Proctor’s game will elevate with Lively running PnR’s (guessing), Mitchell/Blakes will be the sparks.
best thing about this scrimmage though was playing a D like Houston. Young fellas can get a lesson on not jacking up 3’s just bc you can. Get that lesson out of the way early.

I am actually anticipating a pretty good season. I like the potential balance of this team when healthy, especially on defense. I am happy to see Mitchell play well.

It’ll take time but think we will be good by mid season.
Louisville lost 47 to 57 to Leonor Rhyne a D2 school from around hickory
