The Bows should break the top 75 if they upset Nevada, who is ranked around the low-forties.

I wish Coach Ganot would cancel the Adams State game, or downgrade it to an exhibition game. For the Grizzlies, it doesn’t count.

Simply, when a coach redshirts someone it’s because he can’t use that guy this year. i.e. he is not ready to play. Wallace played Smith as a freshman because he had no alternative that year, and forget about trying to keep him another year. Play, and coach, for today.

Surprised at all the love for Buggs, but I guess people like to imagine they see something that is not there, and ignore what he is actually showing. I see a PG who picks up his dribble too early, and ends up getting trapped often. This leads to desperation passes, rather than passes to scoring opportunities. I trust Stepteau more, but you can see he is slower than the other athletes.

I don’t question Green’s basketball abilities, but I’m on the watch for him making too many mistakes. At high levels of sport, the amazing plays don’t matter if you make mistakes on the normal stuff. He’s picked up his consistency the last 2 games…

I recall Artie Wilson, on his radio show, lamenting that Coach Wallace didn’t sit down Alika Smith during his true freshman season.

Bad late foul by Green too.

Ticky-tack.

But those are the rules.

I see a player who plays pretty hard.

He must’ve been ill because he threw up into a trash can during the game on Sunday.

Sheriff .429 on 3FG’s and 1.000 on FT’s.

Sheriff Drammeh can be a handful defensively, but make some head-scratching decisions like taking a foul late against Troy when he tried to go between two Troy players. I guess that comes with young players, you take the good with the bad.
Drew Buggs outside shot is not good. A work in progress. You can see he will be very good in time.
The free throw shooting is off in the early going. Usually reliable Jack Purchase has already missed a half-seasons worth of free throws.
It is still early and you can see flashes of their potential as a team. It will be exciting to watch the progression.

Is Stallworth going to redshirt like Hemsley ?
