It wasn't the first game, but Fred Atkins had a 6-of-9 game from 3 against Oakland (then in their first year of reclassification to DI) as a frosh in a 20-point effort.

Some others. . .

Good
East averaging 5 assists
Childs is now a career top 10 rebounder (690) chasing Donte (718) and top 4 (solo) shot blocker (134) chasing POB (147)
Nolan and Ville shooting .429 (both 6-14) from 3

Igly
16-29 FTs

UNI is frequently a slow starting team in the non-conference.

Mast has talent..... but close to two years no game time action and a pretty serious knee injury....kid deserves more time and less lofty expectations......

Yes-about 600 days away from competitive basketball.

Mast is still doing things well that don't show up in the box score. . .

The 2000-01 season opener at USC, with 3 freshmen starters: Marcello Robinson, Phil Gilbert and James Gillingham. Led 51-41 at halftime, but ultimately lost. Gilbert had 22 while Jerome Robinson started his senior year with a 31-point effort. The following year, Granger with 17 rebounds and Tisby pr...

Mast is a long ways from being a contributor....thomas just reaffirmed his insignificance today....but welcome Hannah! 20 turnovers is 8 too many but 2-1 makes a happy bus ride home We have to remember that Mast hasn’t played a full game in over 2 years. The dude contributed heavily as a teenager i...

Good opportunity for Mast, Hannah and Linke to get some more run today.

No Ja’Shon- (non-COVID) illness.

It could be something as innocuous as an crew’s wife or kid got it and because of contact is being quarantined.

The good: Wardle teams respond

Xavier has more guys like Mast than most teams we will see.

Toledo went 4-8 on FTs yesterday. We missed 4 today. Could easily be 2-0, 1-1 the other way, or 0-2.

Great effort minus the mental mistakes.

A good comparison is last year’s NW disaster. This game had a couple moments where it could have broken that way, but it never did.

Yes. Discouraging flurry, but we definitely look a lot fresher.

Mast is fine. Slow yes, but fine. In the paint, Xavier has 3 guys on almost everything while we only have 1.

We’ll need him to spell Ari for the final push.

Eli was forcing thing s

As is McAdoo

Both teams look dead on their legs already. Opportunity for the bench to step up.

Yeah it’s part of the Illinois law.

Terry. Nolan.

2 possession game. Closing time, and good chance for the new guys to grow up early and a big moment from Eli there.

Drake wins 80-70

No Bluegrass magic for the Aces today.

This. Replacing Darrell is going to be a lot harder than some on here think...

+1

And the women are going to win their opener. . .

Maddening because we were doing it inside earlier. Not a good stretch. Shake it off. Paging Eli. . .

Couldn't quickly find the thread with the starting lineup discussion:

Drake up 15-12 on K-State at the U12.
