Norfolk State Preview and Game Thread -- 11/30/2016

Definitely didn't look good.

[GoRamblers]

Not good. At least he was able to put pressure on his leg but didn't look good. If Donte is down for any extended time, we a re going to be in big trouble

[Johhnyfingers]

He was having a great game tonight

[Johhnyfingers]

Well he's back from the locker room and sitting on the bench.

[GoRamblers]

No students. No fans. This is pathetic.

The department and school have done nothing to get people out.

Did anybody spot Tyson Smith? I know he didn't play but I don't remember seeing him on the bench either.

As for Donte, he looked to be in a lot of pain sitting on the bench and couldn't put much weight on his left leg as he walked unassisted from the court.

Saw Tyson on court at halftime.


Hopefully Donte is OK!

People ?? I actually counted 48 of them--So maybe 140 or so--I could not see what the TV did not show !! Pitiful !! An embarrassment Totally !!

If they do NOT up Saturday. it could be start of a downgrade--Hoops is basically played by and FOR students and local FANS --Media coverage ?? None to speak of .---Kinda like the Media covering Republicans. Media should invest time and coverage in a Chgo big time School-BUT THEY DO NOT !!

Its sad as this team is the best college Hoops team in the area !!

Only watched the last 10 mins but looking at the box score I see Custer and Jackson played well again. It sucked seeing Donte go down but hope he heals quickly. Big game on Saturday and hoping for a big turnout. Go Ramblers!

Donte came out to the bench unassisted after about 10 minutes away and didn't need any ice. Overheard Sister Jean telling his father he was alright after the game which bodes well. I think he'll be okay, maybe miss a few games (if i had to guess could be a hyper extension is the worst case scenario); sucks because he was in potential double double territory at 8-7. Smith was also on the bench all game, next to Maurice I believe!

The game was tough to stomach at times; but unlike previous years we CLOSED OUT. The game was decided with 2 minutes on the clock and didn't get "interesting" like always seemed to happen previously. It's also amazing how at times our offense can look so ugly and yet we still score 70+.

That team was freaking huge; and i felt like several times we got mugged with the refs not calling it; that said it seemed like they got called for a foul every possession down the stretch sooo... I don't know what to say. Wish Maurice got more time... offensively it's just not going to happen for him, but at least he can be a body to box out the heavy weights other teams have and maybe snag some rebounds. Nice to see Bruno score some; if he can get in a groove offensively we'll have a stellar back court. 3 turnovers in a game is also great to see.

Norfolk shot lights out in the second half and 47.3% for the game to our 46.3%...but we hit 18 of 23 free throws; that's the game right there.
