Final HERD 93 WVSU 70. Marshall had a good first showing. HERD had 18 turnovers but all 15 played and defense is improved. Elmore led the HERD with 20 points.

Loooong season ahead. We need a big man inside.

I guess we see things differently. I didn't see anything last night that said we needed a bigger man inside. They brat us on the offensive boards only because they took 38 3's and there were long rebounds. A big man would have done nothing to change that. we have big man help on the way but a couple years away. Danny only wants a big man that can have GREAT footwork and shoot the 3. We do not play with a big and his back to the basket. That is NOT D'Antoni basketball.

So WVSU, who had 1 guy taller than 6'6 on their roster play in the scrimmage, outrebounded MU in the scrimmage?



that is not a good sign

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Yep. Gotta work on boxing out and defense in general. Baby steps.

You do realize we have 2 back to the basket night men committed right?

So Fever how does that help this years team?

The D'Antoni system only works with a dominant big man in the middle to pull the defense off the 3pt line

Stoudemire (Phoenix, NYC)
Howard/ Gasol (LA)
Kelly (Marshall)

This team doesn't have that. Mike's Nuggets team in 99 didn't. His Rockets team right now doesn't either

Keaton, one part of the offense consists of multiple cuts to the basket and pick and rolls, with quick guards and penitration, it will work.

Can Fat Ass Chuggins execute a pick & roll? What would you call that: A piggy rolly?
