As for who starts, who doesn't. Matta said this could be interchangable depending on matchups. He played 8/9 players consistantly through the game. WHich I am sure he wanted to see who could do what. When it was all said and done, everyone ended up playing similar minutes. Obviously, depending on who you are playing, this may be possible, and at times, it won't be. But its still nice to have the luxury to be able to do so. It will help in the long run.
One thing I did see, is that Loving has a great basketball body. Needs to get stronger. But I see no reason why he won't be able to contribute at times during the season. Also, Della Valle will help OSU. The kid can flat out shoot the ball, with an very quick release.
What I do see that concerns me, is that physical presence is missing. Ravenal gave OSU some toughness/physical play last year. Right now, I am not sure they have a player capable of giving that. Which is a concern against teams like MSU.
It will be shown as a Student U game Tuesday at 3 p.m., I think. Made sure to tell my friend that, so he (hopefully) remembers to DVR it, so we can watch it either before or after their game that night.Laley23;1532609 wrote:BTN fucks with fans to start the year. Its available only streaming I think. Every team has 1 or 2 games that way cause BTN is pushing their mobil shit on customers.

Scott's shot did look better. And although Craft didn't shoot well, that little hesitation/hitch wasn't there when he did shoot. Again, competition wasn't great. And showing improvement in one game doesn't justify all is great. Consistancy over a number of games and against good competition will be the proof.se-alum;1533748 wrote:By all accounts, Scott's shot has improved tremendously. Also, they say Craft has finally got the hitch completely out of his shot. I still contend this team will be better offensively than last year's team.
It's gotten worse in the 2nd half, they're definitely not as good defensively yet as I thought they would be.LJ;1534643 wrote:I think they look sloppy as hell
