Men's BB 2-0 in exhibition play

[longhorn_22]

I think Desin is a great spark plug. I was amazed how much speed he brought to the court. I guess I hadn't seen Desin on the basketball court. Branden Johnson really impressed me in the two exhibition games and he's an inside and outside threat. Nick Dissly and Carson Durr had nice games, too. The bottom line is the team looked a lot more sharp than the first game and really showed a nice improvement. Next up, we go to Utah Valley State and I think this team will need to improve more for the regular season. Nice work tonight by the Bobcats.

I disagree with you about Durr. I was not impressed with him tonight very much. He had a much better game against Minot.

Are you kidding? He was a true leader out there last night....notice Huse left him in with the new guys? He is Sooooooo underappreciated by people like you......he is a great leader, great in the classroom......come on......points are not everything.....let's see what Johnson does against Big Sky teams.

I never said he wasn't a leader or a great guy in the classroom. Stop making me sound like the bad guy. If you actually watched the game last night, you can agree that his offensive game was very disappointing. He missed shots he should have made and put up some shots that he probably shouldn't have. I agree with mslacat about him as well. He does deserve a huge season and I wish him the best in that. I applaud him for his leadership and seniority. "People like me" think he is a great leader and a student but expect more on the court and can see when his game needs to improve.

I was at the game and he missed three shots, made three and was 1-1 from the free thrown line. He hustled, passed the ball great and directed traffic for the team...that is his role. Dissly is the big shooter, others shoot, and he plays defense. I have known him since high school and he deserves much more credit that he ever gets.

You are not a bad guy at all.....just not a good judge of the role each player has on a TEAM.

Alright. You are wrong on your assessment of my judgement. Maybe I missed a few things on his game but I dont think he had a terrible game and I don't think he had a stellar game. I agree he is a great leader and a great person, but I just think he has a few things he needs to work on. That's all I'm going to say.

I am willing to bet that Desin and Piepoli are for-sure redshirts. I have no idea on the others.

I say we only redshirt Piepoli or no one. Huse seems worried about us only having ten guys.

Desin on the other hand why not use him now while we have him for the entire year who will know what could happen when he plays football the next 4 years. If they make the playoffs and he is playing the next four years he would not be able to join the basketball team until December.

Is he still going to play football?

Would be shocked if they redshirted him in basketball. Basketball will be a year to year decision after this based on a lot of things and this is the year that gives him the most opportunity to play with the team before December. I also think that this would not be happening if not for Coach Kramer's approval AND encouragement.
