They are 3-6, and had a 48-point exhibition loss to UCA. They likely will start a front line of 6-6, 6-5, 6-5, and have a 6-7 guy on the roster.

Dylan Gray, 6-5 senior, is the only player averaging double figures at 12.4 ppg. He also leads in rebounds at 7.0 rpg. Right at half his attempts are from the arc, where he shoots 36.7%. They have a couple other guys who shoot in the mid-30s percentage.

As a team they do not shoot well, and their defense is pretty porous. They are plus-2 on the boards.

Unless they just happen to get red-hot from 3-point range, this one ought to be over soon after it starts. We ought to dominate them completely inside.

Even against a D3 defense we can't make 3s.

Pippins coming out of nowhere to play pretty well.

Jones is still shooting 3s and still missing 3s.

Good game. We did what we ought to have done.
Good defense. Dominated the boards. Shot a very good percentage ourselves.

Here's a number I really like - even against a D3 team. 26 assists against only 8 turnovers!

All of a sudden Corcoran has emerged as a 3-point shooter. Where has he been?

What is the deal with Pippin?! He doesn't play a minute all season, then all of a sudden he has a great game.

Competition might answer those questions.

94 points.....???? 94.......!!!!!!

Go Trojans.........

Pippins has not been dressed out until tonight. I have heard nothing official. But, grades were due in at UALR last Friday. My wife's guess was that he wasn't academically eligible. Seems like as good a guess as any.

That sounds reasonable about Pippin.

And I agree, PTJR, that the competition made us look good. But some of those same things we did not do well against teams that were not a great deal better than Ozarks. (When you are grasping for encouragement, any straw will do.)
