Oakland sporting a 5-4 record, having wins over BGSU 81-62 at home, close losses to OSU 73-79, 53-64 to Illinois on the road. Beat Marshall on a neutral court, 78-71, beat Detroit 65-50 on the road as well. Beat Xavier on the road 78-76.
Its going to be tough winning at Oakland, I will be surprise if the Rockets can come home with a win.
Likely will face a lot of zone for the first time. Hopefully, UT can work the center of the zone a bit. maybe, this is the game we can get wight untracked.
I'd like to go to the game - only 3 miles from my house, but I think I may have picked up that repiratory virus going around. Started Monday morning and I assume I got from being at the game on Saturday. Anyone else feel like they got it? One other person I was with - same thing.
Might as well make this the game thread.
How bout a win?
10 points and not a single dribble-drive. I could watch this all day. Nothing wrong with an occasionall D-D, just nice when it's not first option everytime down the court.
Great win by the Lady Rockets!!!!!!
Offense looks very good so far.
This Lampman kid always has good games against us... hitting NBA level difficulty shots
Only thing I can say is we can’t play much worse. We can’t even get the ball inside. O is starting way beyond the three line with no penetration at all.
That was not good. Simmons got his leg bent back awkwardly as he came down. Glad he could walk off.
Offense has turned from good to awful, counting 11? first half turnovers.
The good news; Simmons is an impactful of a player as I've seen on both ends, forces turnovers and is quick defensively, strong offensively, glad to have him on our team for the foreseeable future.

In the pregame K was asked about the rotations and lineups. He said he knows who the finishing 5 were - the same who started tonight. So Simmons is our 5 guy. Not really a 5 IMO, but he's going to be a dandy. If we can develop a 5, this can be a good team. Lots of work to do.
He also said they have been practicing against the "Eastern M" zone since July. Not sure they get it yet.
It looked like moss was upset heading to locker room at half. Whatever happened in there has worked so far in 2nd. Defense
Started the second half on a 14-2 run! Rockets up 46-38!
I've absolutely no explanation for this game, lol.
Where is Ben Wight? Surely not just completely removed from the rotation just like that? is he even on the bench?

Definitely isn’t out there getting rebounds.
Wow, pulled it out somehow.
Wow, thought for sure that was a foul at the end.
Yeah Wight wasn't listed in the box score.
