Samford over JSU; UNCG hangs with LSU; Mercer over Piedmont
http://www.uncgspartans.com/ViewContent....ID=2148987

In a reversal of their usual script, the Spartans had a blistering offensive night shooting 19 of 33 for 56.7% from 3 and scoring 91 points. But they were failed by their usual stalwart defense and rebounding as Will Wade’s talented LSU team piled up 97 points and killed them on the boards 34 to 18 to win by 6 points.

There were some amazing, and encouraging, individual performances as 6-8 Junior Kyrin Galloway had a stunning career night, looking like a completely different player as he hit 32 (yes, 32) points on 8-10 from 3 (where did THAT come from? He was 13-46 from 3 last year), 12-14 overall and 4 blocks in 33 minutes.

Soph Isaiah Miller also hit 2-5 from 3 for 13 points, 1 more 3 than he hit all last year to go with 6 assists and no turnovers.

Unfortunately James Dickey struggled a bit against the big physical LSU guys with 1 rebound, 1 block and 8 points in 33 minutes. And new 6-9 250 bigs Eric Hamilton and Mohammed Abdulsalam continued to look lost totaling 15 minutes, 2 rebounds and 4 points combined.
New Rs-Fr guard Kaleb Hunter and vet Malik Massey also struggled.

Still, not a bad showing against a team that Will Wade is building back to high levels.

Samford looked impressive at home beating Jacksonville State (ranked 3rd in the OVC by Blue Ribbon) 92-72 as Josh Sharkey had a career night with 22 points, 10 assists and 8 steals (almost a triple double), 7 foot 240 USF transfer Ruben Guerrero had 14 points, 6-5 200 Alabama transfer Brandon Austin got 13 points and 7 rebounds and 6-8 200 Freshman ‘junkyard dog’ Robert Allen got 11 points.

Mercer crushed hapless Piedmont 105-52. It will be interesting to see them match up against Georgia State Tuesday.

With Furman's remarkable road upset over Loyola, not a bad night for the SoCon.

Naz Reid, McDonald's All-American and big-time get for Will Wade was as advertised. Quite beastly and looked close to NBA-ready (not quite).
At one point early, Alonso was leading LSU 8-5, with an early overall 11-5 score. He finished with 'only' 20.

Thanks for the write up on the night. UNC-G looking very tough. It's amazing they kept it within 6 points considering that rebounding margin.

I'm very interested in how this Mercer @ Georgia State game goes.

RE: Samford over JSU; UNCG hangs with LSU; Mercer over Piedmont
Saturday Wofford struggled to pull one out on the road 68-60 against High Point, ranked 8th in the Big South by Blue Ribbon, behind Presbyterian, and 7th in the Big South and 263rd overall by SI. Tubby Smith may be coaching them now, but they still are not good. Not a great looking win for Wofford, who looked so strong against UNC. Their bench, that seemed like it would be the deepest that Mike Young ever had, is still not producing, giving them only 11 points in this one. Front court players Keve Aluma, Chevez Goodwin and Matt Pegram in particular just don’t give them scoring, at least not yet, with 8 points between them. The loss of Trevor Stumpe hurts. https://woffordterriers.com/boxscore.asp...ll&id=4406

Western Carolina played a much better game in its home opener against College of Charleston than they did on the road against a good Wright State, coming within 3, 77-74. Blue Ribbon ranked Charleston 2nd in the Colonial behind Northeastern as did SI which has them 90th overall. Carlos Dotson led the Cats with 21 points and 8 rebounds in 31 minutes. When he avoids foul trouble and stays in the game, they can compete. They are starting freshmen D.J. Meyers and Kameron Gibson along with JUCO Jr Dotson, and holdovers Soph shooting guard Mark Halvorsen and Senior Marc Gosselin. A young team which could get better. http://www.catamountsports.com/liveStats...m_id=12100

Sometimes you just play to the level of your opponent. Had to be a letdown after playing Carolina.
