I thought Bean and Horvath looked great together. The starting 5 mostly played pretty well.

The bench was ROUGH.

Where was Norbert Thelissen?

He got in the last 2 minutes. I thought we’d see him more

Ashworth looked great and I liked the initial look at Hamoda. Other players on the bench looked good too, I thought, only some looked rough.

I thought Ashworth had a pretty tough game, but he hit some shots.

Against Montana western they should all look good.

I mean, yeah. Zapala managed to still not look very good.

Was Miller the 5th starter?

Yes

The Good
The starting 5 - Horvath, Bean, Miller, Eytle-Rock, and Jones
Shulga and Potter
The potential
Zee
Good and Bad
Ashworth
The Bad- everyone else
The injuries did play a factor in this game on who was in.
The bigs should be Bean, Horvath, Potter, and Dorius.
Our top 4 guards from that game were Eytle-Rock, Jones, Miller, and Shulga without question, and Ashworth was clearly the 5th best guard out there.

Who is #20 that got in for the last couple minutes? No name on his jersey, the announcer didn’t even have his name when he checked in.

There was some discussion in chat that Thelissen may have been sitting most of the game for non-basketball related reasons. It’s weird with the reports that he was threatening for a starting spot that he got so little run tonight. No idea if there is any truth to that, but thought I’d pass along.

I think the 8 man rotation will be Bean, Horvath, Eytle-Rock, Jones, Miller, Shulga, Ashworth, and Hamoda/Potter, at least until Bairstow and Dorius are healthy.

I was pleasantly surprised with Potter.

Shulga looked very steady and under control. Want to see him shoot more.

I was wondering that was too.

I liked Ashworth better than you did SLB. Particularly in the first half. I thought he outplayed Jones in the first half.

I mean, from what I saw tonight the 5 best guys are Bean, Horvath, Eytle-Rock, Jones, and Shulga.

I liked Ashworth shooting over Jones but not anything else. This is why I put him in good and bad

Ashworth hit some shots. Sure seemed like Montana Western went on runs when he was in, and it seemed like he was still turning it over a bit on drives.

Hard to judge much over the radio. It really feels like we coasted to that 30 point win, which is both good and bad.

Unforced errors on offense and defense by Ashworth, but Ashworth's drive and shooting and some moments. Good and bad

My two cents is that I’m cautiously optimistic after this game. And I think Hamoda is definitely getting to get solid minutes.

ineptimusprime · Post by **ineptimusprime** » October 27th, 2021, 9:38 pm

This game felt pretty much exactly like the game against College of Idaho last year, and we were fine last year.

I agree with this. I think Zee will improve greatly over the course of the season.

SLB · Post by **SLB** » October 27th, 2021, 9:41 pm

The only ding on Shulga was did not shoot any 3s and refused to shoot 3s. It is confidence thing which is odd since he was suppose to be great 3 point shooter from Europe.

ineptimusprime · Post by **ineptimusprime** » October 27th, 2021, 9:44 pm

Hyperbole much?

MarioWest · Post by **MarioWest** » October 27th, 2021, 9:46 pm

I didn’t see this game but I hope Ashworth gets more time this year. Defense will always be a struggle for him, but he might have the highest offensive ceiling on the team. His shot is so pure.

Ashworth looked uneven in the game, and Shulga looked a lot better than Ashworth. Imagine being a guy projecting Shulga as a starter for this season during last season, what crazy person would do that

My dark magic strikes again

Seriously, Miller still has back issues.

So was this game televised or not. The Twitter highlights show a Stadium/MW Network score banner across the top as if it was a broadcast. How come we couldn’t watch it? Is the recording available now to watch?

That’s what I thought but the roster had him wearing #14

I’m 54 and I seriously think I could out-lift Horvath. He’s going to get pushed around underneath the basket, a lot. I’ll be curious how he does. He moves around well, I’ll say that.
