Secret Scrimmage vs ECU 90-90
- Thread starter spider23
- Start date
Confirmed on Robinson and McGlothin fifth quarter only
I liked what I saw from Washington. He wasn't a big part of the rotation, and looked slower than the others when ball handling responsibilities were his, but the 3s were smooth and he had a nice finish at the rim. Really curious to see what role he'll have.
Too many kid responsibilities this weekend...currently won't be at ODU

appreciate the extra seasoning on your report, this part really made me laugh too 😆
Do you know when this scrimmage is and if there is any way I could attend it because I am currently a student at ODU
The Dude abides.
Thank you for the report. It was getting rather tiresome just hearing spider23's constant speculation. 1st rule of message boards...absolutely no speculation!
I do have to ask u 1 thing I'm a little curious about. u get access to a secret scrimmage, u know what JOC looks like, u know the scrimmage rules that we agreed upon, but u can't recognize all our players without their name on the jersey?

Gonna need to Mission Impossible yourself inside, 324.

Scheduled for noon at the Robins Center. Last week was a fortress, I had to be let in at the ticket office door, and wander my way through the halls to get court side. There were maybe 7-10 people in attendance, big wigs. Last year, they saw a few regular fans inside and ran them off. Im not saying you cant find an unlocked door and hide in a corner, but it's not overly easy. Last week there was a football game, so perhaps this week won't be as locked down.
I mean, in my defense, how many rotational guys were on the team last season? I obviously dont post here a lot, but read it in season and during portal time. But Im not a hard core fan of spider athletics. I honestly recognized like five kids. So yes, I needed a roster or names on the back of jerseys, ha!
To be clear, I'm a nobody. No high roller, no big wig who was allowed to attend. No insider. Specific reason I was there
Thanks for the update. To clarify, you said complete defensive liability, was that a reference to Glou or Tanner.
if we were pounding the offensive glass and not getting back ... that would explain the 75% shooting from 2 for ECU and the 90 points allowed. wonder if a lot came in transition.
I’m joining the backboard repairmen’s union before Saturday…
Some interesting box score stats…
In the Paint ECU 38 UR 20
Fast Break points ECU 7 UR 5
Turnover points ECU 23 UR 20
Bench points ECU 16 UR 38(!)
2nd chance ECU 10 UR 17(!) Beagle with 7 of our 13 Offensive rebounds
Tanner
I know nothing about ECU, but RJ Felton is a dude. He's listed 6-3, 214, but that might be light. Can bully our small guards.
A little surprised on Tanner since box score shows 4 defensive rebounds and 3 blocks
Maybe too light to handle his own man but blocks on help on guards?
That kind of guy is the exact type we discussed last week - who handles the big guards or hybrid wings (either tall or tall/heavy both) on defense for UR? We have Tanner, Roche, McGlothin in the 6'5" or 6'6" range, then the 4 shorter guards and Graham in between.
I'm calling for the 1-3-1 now with quickness up top and to hide one defender in the middle.

ECU played tough.WWE style.Good battles.
Youngsters played a 5th quarter which UR won quite handily.The kid from Albany is very mobile and the UConn kid can shoot with the lights off.

I wouldn't reach too much into scrimmages, especially closed door. When it is closed door, it allows coaches to coach differently and try out different things, free from public view. You also have to think as well they are not playing main guys as many minutes as they normally will too - simply out of fear of unnecessary injury.
Now - when its an exhibition, they could do the same thing, but they know when doors open, fans and others watching - they have to try and replicate a game as much as possible. So while they may try a few new things, likely not as much as a closed door scrimmage.

You beat me to it. Was thinking the same thing, might need to pull out some type of 1 3 1 to slow things down. Not sure that is in Mooney or Boyden's bag? Definitely played out our worst fears. Need someone to guard the 3.
Check out the preseason all A10 teams. 6-4 to 6’7 big guards or wings r all over them.
