Topic: MBB GAME

Collins worked some with the ones yesterday but the starting five will be:
Obinna
Kinsey
Beyers
Early
McKee

As has been reported Taylor, George and Goran are quarantined. Also Rigot and 2-3 support staff members

Looks like you got fed some fake news.

I may be wrong, but it looked like Rigot was on the bench last night. I believe he was wearing a mask.

Yes, he and a couple of staff were, like Taylor, cleared Saturday morning

Not at all. Andrew was tested negative on Saturday around noon.
Besides i was given any news at all. I was at practice everyday the past week and saw the lineup they had planned.

I found out about Taylor when I registered for the first points of the game contest. Thought I heard someone say something about it at Fat Patty's before the game, but was not sure about it. It was someone talking loud enough so I could hear them. Looks like what I thought they said was correct.

If the above info is true, and those are the starters and Taylor/George are out, look for another double digit loss.  Kinsey will force even more shots with AT out.  He will go like 7-25 from the field with 6 turnovers.  And Early and Beyers will combine for 4-17 from the perimeter.  If OAK can stay out of foul trouble, he may keep us in it with a solid double/double game.  I?m not buying into this group until they string 4 or 5 solid consecutive games.

You called this perfectly step by step and that was even with Taylor playing lol

we all were fed fake news, local news outlets tweeted the same thing Meister said.

Let's be honest.....this team has slow feet on the defensive end. There is little talent for Marshall in terms of stopping opposing players that just get beat off the dribble or breakdown us individually on defense. We are slow of foot.

With that said, we may have a few that look good in practice, but when we play a team with more speed and athletic talent.....the tune changes. Collins or others may look good in practice because they are playing guys with similar speeds and motors as they each have.

FAU tonight either went downhill on dribble penetration (which created open looks from the perimeter) or their guards broke our defenders down out on the wing and drove the ball to the basket with ease tonight. It was ALL NIGHT LONG.

This Marshall team has a lot of "nice guys". That is good. But sometimes you need some athletes that have an edge out there. FAU had a few out there tonight. I never really felt we were going to win in the second half because we simply can't put a five out there that make consistent stops on several trips down the floor.

Exactly. I felt the same way too; pretty much all year. Defense keeps you in a game until, if , or when the offense clicks.

We?re really missing a primary ball handler and defender like we had in West. When I see Taylor and Kinsey handling the ball a lot more, it becomes obvious. I think Dan needed to bring in a good PG for this season. Braun is more of a combo/ 2 guard.

And we are missing shooters.  Like the kid from FAU who when 6-11 from the arc and torched us for 27.  We don?t have any killers.  Guys who want to stomp on your throat.  No leadership. No fire.  No consistency.  I will be surprised if we get to 10 wins.

I really thought Kinsey was going to be that guy. I thought by conference play he'd be nearly unstoppable with short/mid jumpers.

Dan should consider bringing in a sports psychologist or something to chat with him and Taylor. I believe their biggest problem is inside their heads.

Had to beat FAU at home. This season is going to get ugly. Deeply frustrating. Hopefully, Dan makes it easy for Brad Smith and the new AD.

Think Danny commented after the game that Taylor hadn't practiced, but he evidently was cleared (of COVID related restrictions) to play.  Just wonder if Goran and George will be cleared in time to play on Thursday, or at least for Saturday's game.  Whether they will be able to get in any practice before those is another matter.

[Hazer74]

With any luck kinsey will be out

Darius told me Saturday that he will be at practice today. I won't know about Goran until today's practice

Except I was at practice and saw the lineup and knew Taylor wasn't there. I was told by a Taylor family member that Andrew was tested negative on Saturday morning

I'm with you.  I was just quoting 24s "fake news" comment.  It seemed to imply you were running with false info from the staff or practice and I was simply stating that it was the fact and there were other media sources reporting that right up until AT cleared protocol to play.
