Rockhurst Preview and Game Thread

[JCT]

If I recall correctly, in the loss to Rockhurst J.R. Blount scored something like 35 points. I happened to be sitting behind J.R.'s parents, and I jokingly said if J.R. had scored 40 we would have won.

They were not amused...

He scored 42, and we still lost. They had 14 three-pointers to our 2.

Thanks. As they say in the law biz. that refreshes my recollection.

What I said in mock disdain to J.R.'s parents was something like "If J.R. had scored 50 points, we would have won."

They still were not amused, but I think it's even funnier with 50 instead of 40.

Very clever on the part of LU...no audio feed so you have to buy the video feed.

Just forked over my $10. Go Ramblers.

Most of this board called LU's starting 5: Thomas, James, Doyle, Turk, Crisman. 9 minutes in and still no sign of the Finn. LU down 16-13

[JCT]

Rebounding margin now 18-9.

Getting some good looks on offense...but struggling to finish. Doyle looks healthy. The young guys look promising so far.

As expected though...getting owned on the boards.

Not a good night for the MVC thus far. LU losing to DII Rockhurst. Bradley getting walloped by Texas-Arlington. Indiana St in a dogfight with IUPUI. Missouri State losing to Eastern Illinois.

This is exactly what I was worried about. Getting killed on the boards by a team that isn't really bigger than us. What's gonna happen in MVC play?

This is disgusting

The problem that is only going to get worse as the season goes on is our really thin front court. If we can't handle rockhurst then we certainly won't be able to stop the other big bodies in the league
