Re: Game #1: Norfolk State - In-Game
Powell was frustrating to watch. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, force a pass, make a lazy cut. I came into this season keeping high hopes for him, but after the practice and game 1, I don't see how he sticks around once EC and Biggie are playing. I thought Powell was OK, not great, bu...

Re: Game #1: Norfolk State - In-Game
Nik did not have a knee injury. It was a cramp. They had him on the floor at the end of the bench, stretching him out and hydrating him. He'll be fine. Munford's injury might be a little more of a concern. He rolled his ankle pretty good. They retaped it and got him back in the game while it was sti...

Re: Game #1: Norfolk State - In-Game
One other stat stuck out for me. 4 guys played betweem 32-36 minutes. That's going to have to stay the same all year. We thought we had depth problems at the big positions. But, we're playing 3 different guys at the 5. That leaves only TJ and Bigby to back up the other 4 spots.

It WAS just a bad night for Munford. He's a player and if the Hurleys both continue to speak about how good he is, I tend to believe them and trust their judgment. I think Munford will be fine. He had a terrible shooting night, but he has a nice looking shot...if that makes sense. He rolled his ank...

Why is his age being brought up? That was never an issue before. According to this article, which was printed in April of 2010, he was 16 at the time. Seems to me that he's 18.

Quite the opposite. Bob Hurely preaches what Hoopz said. Be aggressive without fouling. If you're in foul trouble, you can't play aggressively, and therefore hurt the team. Watching this team, if I'm an opposing coach, I'd jam the ball down low all night. Brooks will get some minutes, by default. A...
